Reaching For The Stars…, er, UFOs – An Announcement: 610 KFRC San Francisco
…”We don’t know if Extra-Terrestrials are real, but according to you, there’s a fifty four percent chance…” From Contributor Antonio Dell’Agio. When we received this aircheck, we were contacted by the contributor who said that the creator of this piece (and legendary programmer) Les Garland wished to donate it to our site. We’re incredibly thankful…
Composite: 1260 KXLR San Francisco
This is a very unique aircheck. First off, it’s not a music station, but there is music, in portions of this aircheck (strangely enough, as one song ends, there’s a long pause before the next one begins… almost like if you play a CD or a record without interruption). The music presented is, of course,…
Composite (Part 3) 610 KFRC San Francisco | May 18, 1982
Part 3 of this incredibly great sounding composite features more Harry Nelson and Mark McKay. Some of the very best audio quality can be heard on this aircheck, with only a hint of static toward the end of this tape. For only 5,000 watts on AM, this had to be one of the greatest AM…
Composite (Part 2): 610 KFRC San Francisco | May 18, 1982
A long time ago, we posted a large composite of KFRC from May 1982 including a nice segment with Broadway Bill Lee (he didn’t use ‘Broadway’ in San Fran of course). Here’s part 2 of that composite, which features morning funny man Dr. Don Rose (and some very interesting news segments partly included), and Harry…
Composite: 1260 KYA San Francisco | September, 1973
Well, isn’t this aircheck reminiscent of a similar crisis we’re experiencing today? It opens up with a ‘special’ bulliten where KYA tells listeners that they will suspend normal public service messages in order to tell Bay area residents where they can purchase gas. After that, this is a really great, tightly scoped aircheck. This is…
Jim Washburn, KYA San Francisco | March, 1965
When many people think of Top 40 radio in San Francisco in the 1960s, the first station that comes to mind is usually 610 KFRC. But, before KFRC, there was 1260 KYA, and for a time, both stations duked it out on the AM band until the battle was clearly won by KFRC. From early…
Bobby Ocean, 610 KFRC San Francisco | August 8, 1986
“…Nobody can EVER take away your memories!” Its a Friday afternoon and Bobby Ocean helps close out the Top 40 era at KFRC! With some help from Scotty and the 610s (and their tribute song to the ‘Amazing AM’), Ocean takes the final afternoon drive show out with class. There are some visitors to this…
Bill Lee, Renel, Lisa St. Regis; First Day of the “New Jack Zoo – 106.1 KMEL San Francisco
One-time Rocker turned CHR, then Hip Hop & R&B station KMEL began embracing what was known in the early 90s as “New Jack Swing” – a fusion genre of Hip Hop and mix/samples which really has become more mainstream over the years in the Hip Hop world. With that background, here’s the first morning of…
