Here’s one of the old KGB… you gotta go way back to hear cigarette commercials and those old jingles which all seemed to be sung to a large brass orchestra. It’s the Pre-Drake era at San Diego’s KGB, back when music radio meant much more jock talk!
Really, gang, 1963 was essentially just past the dawn of top 40 radio as we know it today. See if you can compare ANY of the on air methods and slogans used then with something you hear today. Perhaps you may want to use this to teach young people about the roots of their music on iPhones… well, this was it in a very real sense.
when this aired i was just 2 years old but i love the sound of this radio station, Very tight, was it pre drake? If so they were way ahead of there time. love to hear more thanks for posting
Sounded like KGB had a sense of humor with their contests. Pre-Drake for sure, commercial policy appears to be designed for maximum separation of clients & breaks. This was typical in Pre-Drake radio, usually this was set or controlled may be a better word by management and sales. How Drake was able to get sales to buy his concepts back in the day is amazing. Dick Drury sounds quite good here.
