Duffy's Bio

For a decade, afternoon drive-time radio listeners in Southern California tuned in from 4 to 7 p.m. on 99.5, KKLA, to hear the daily 3-hour, award winning, talk program “Duffy and Company- Live from LA”. Covering a wide range of social, moral and political issues of concern to Christians, Duffy drew a large and loyal audience who heard unique daily insights, listen to his timely interviews with well known celebrities, and call-in to discuss important news and critical issues. Four times, National Religious Broadcasters nominated Duffy’s radio show for “Talk Show of the Year”. In 2000, Duffy was inducted into the Radio and TV Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Chuck Smith, pastor of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, once said, “Duffy is the most recognized Christian voice in Southern California.”

Duffy is a veteran of nearly 50 years in radio broadcasting. During the ‘60’s and the heady days of “Top Forty Radio”, he was named “one of America’s top ten radio personalities”. In the 1970’s, Duffy went on to pioneer the Underground Radio format on FM radio stations from Boston to Los Angeles and spend a year as the PR Director for the Beach Boys..

Following a recreational drug addiction, Duffy returned to his Christian faith in 1980 and trained for ministry. He served a time as the Personal Administrative Assistant to Dr. Robert Schuller at the Crystal Cathedral, was ordained and received his Honorary Doctorate from the California Pacific School of Theology, later pioneering and pastoring a small church on the North Shore of Kauai.

When he left the air in 2004 after a decade of on-air ministry, Duffy joined the Executive Committee for the Billy Graham Rose Bowl Crusade of 2005 as the PR and Marketing director. The Crusade drew the largest non-sporting event crowd in the history of the stadium. He continues to speak and act as master of ceremonies to many groups throughout the Southland and lead Christian tours. He and his wife Pam also operate a PR and Marketing company for small ministries.
