Rich “Brother” Robbin on KCBQ San Diego | December, 1973
Who woulda thought that in 1973 AM Top 40 would sound this good! Rich Brother Robin could open a university on how to do high-energy radio. Perhaps he should… the former WSRR (now WKIM) Memphis PD and creator of the Classic Hits oldies format sounded awesome in his prime! Anyway, at just over seven minutes,…
Dick Drury, KGB San Diego | November, 1963
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…
Sales Demo: B. Bailey Brown on KCBQ San Diego | 1969
Found among other reel golden goodies is this reel that our good friend Karl Philips provided. I’m sure demos are still sent as part of ‘selling’ a new client, but after listening to this 15 minute demo put together by overnight guy B. Bailey Brown, I’m quite amazed. Talk about different! I’m not going to…

Gerry Peterson & Mason Dixon, 1170 KCBQ San Diego | September 24, 1977
Courtesy of BigAppleAirchecks. Nearly perfect audio quality on this one. On this aircheck, you’ll hear Gerry Peterson, then Mason Dixon on a very music-intensive KCBQ. Now, KCBQ and KGB had always been the Top 40 leaders in this city, but obviously, KCBQ was feeling some heat from FM. We get to hear TWO jingles in…

KCBQ Becomes a “Thing of the Past”, 1170 KCBQ San Diego | February 1976
Is this any way to do a promotion? KCBQ kicks off a format tweak by becoming a ‘Thing of the Past’, apparently in response to KFMB-FM going Top 40 sometime earlier. Ratings are down and KCBQ decides to skew older in response. New Contributor Mike Donovan shares this gem from his collection, saying he’s been…
