Rex McNeil, 99.7 KFRC-FM San Francisco | 1991
Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for doing it last night! Here’s a tightly scoped aircheck of Rex McNeil on what was then the NEW KFRC-FM! So new, that as Rex told us, he was the first guy on the air when 99.7 flipped to Oldies.. “…worked on KFRC in San Francisco, 1st Jock on…
Steve Jordan, Natural Neal & Michael O’Connor – 1260 KYA San Francisco | July 13, 1977
If only the East Coast had a Top 40 station like this! Oh… well, besides WABC. We here at Airchexx have put much focus on 610 KFRC as THE dominant station in San Francisco. But, the Bay area had stiff competition for much of the 1970s from crosstown KYA. In 1977, KYA did get close,…
Don Kelly, 101.3 KIOI San Francisco | December, 1972
The Image at left is from an old TV ad, yet, there’s no date stamp available to prove it’s from a particular time frame. 1980s, perhaps? Here’s an aircheck donated by Ellis B. Feaster. It’s, perhaps, one of the most eclectic radio stations ever posted here. The format, as heard here, is essentially everything. In…

John Mack Flanagan was one of the great broadcasters from the West Coast. Legendary, in the minds of many people, including his peers in the broadcasting industry, his many friends and his fans in the Bay Area. It’s only fitting on the occasion of his passing on Saturday, March 31st, 2018 (Corrected), that we do…

Sample, KLLC “Alice 97.3” San Francisco | April 26, 1998
Proof that radio rapidly cut staffs and costs after consolidation took hold is evident, not so much in this STATION, as the FORMAT. Alice is, apparently, jockless in this 6 1/2 minute scope of a 90 minute cassette side. KLLC is, in 1998, Modern AC (kind of a softer, Pop Alternative format) and rather quiet,…
