1310 WKNR “Keener 13” Detroit | March, 1964
The topic of this jock’s show is not the music, but rather, the fact that the phone company has told the station that it can only use ONE listener line. Apparently, the station blew out one of the lines and the utility decided it can’t have the station tying up those resources.
Composite: 1170 KCBQ San Diego, Early 1970s

John Willis on WZOU 94.5 Boston | July 1988
Boston’s 94.5 WZOU came along in late 1984 from the ashes of Album Rocker turned Soft-AC WCOZ, and called itself 94-5 “The Zoo”.
