. . . And now, Part Two in the continuing saga of “Mickey Rooney Calls KABC Radio.” In a purported attempt to apologize for having accepted a phone call Monday from Rooney that was intended for Ken Minyard and Roger Barkley, KLOS-FM deejays Mark Thompson and Brian Phelps took a “meat snack” to the KABC-AM duo Tuesday morning. But before Minyard and Barkley could sample the dish, Minyard’s daughter, Dana, telephoned to tell them what KLOS listeners already knew: It was dog food. Minyard’s daughter was also listening to the FM competition and knew about the gag. KABC and KLOS are owned by Cap Cities/ABC and broadcast from the same building.
