Don Kelly, Anything Goes on K101 KIOI San Francisco | December 1973

Rick Shaw & John Mack Flanagan on 610 KFRC San Francisco | October 10, 1976

Here are over 15 minutes of pure 1970s KFRC heaven! If WABC New York is considered the greatest Top 40 station of all time (on the East Coast), then 610 KFRC has to be it for the West. Actually, west coast Top […]

104.5 KFOG

M. Dung

Mike Slavko, was best known to Bay Area rock radio fans as the hyped-up, nutty DJ “M. Dung.” Soon after KFOG went from “beautiful music” to rock in 1982, Mike, who was doing production work at KFOG, was chosen […]

KFOG 104.5 San Francisco Format Change From Beautiful Music To Rock & Roll | September 16 1982

104.5 KFOG

Dave Morey

For almost 20 years, starting in the early 1960s, KFOG 104.5 played Beautiful Music. Lots of instrumentals, with a few show tunes mixed it. The station did fared well for most of that period. However, as the 1980s were rolling […]

Dale Dorman; Steve Lundy, 610 KFRC San Francisco | December 24, 1967

1260 KYA

San Francisco

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 […]

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 […]
