A box of tapes arrived in the mail in January. I was a bit surprised, but then remembered that Nancy Plum had promised to send some airchecks a little over…
Every aircheck tells a story. What listeners remember years later isn't always what the station sounded like at the time they remember. For me, the most memorable time at KFI…
One thing listeners will notice right off is the lack of jingles or any other real 'in-your-face' production elements. One could suppose that since KHJ had all that up till later in 1977, Ten-Q figured they could just leave all the traditional AM elements to them. After all, KTNQ was a fresh start, in many ways!
Part 2 of this scope is a compilation of two days worth of KTNQ Los Angeles. Its mostly Nancy Plum, but contains a few breaks from Gary Cocker, whose filling in for morning man / Ten-Q Program Director John M. Driscoll, and later, a few minutes that represent at least the first hour of Mr. Driscoll himself... at the end of this recording.
