Sly Stone, KSOL San Francisco | 1967
KSOL (the original incarnation) was an AM station in San Francisco on 1450. AM 1450 was known as KSAN until July 1964, when the KSOL calls were first used. As KSAN, the station had devoted much time to ‘soul’ music, and the change to KSOL meant a change to full time Soul music as a…
Composite: 610 KFRC San Francisco | August 14, 1968
It’s the heavy sound of KFRC as the Bay Area’s Top 40 giant plays the phsychadelic rock hits of the late 60s! These guys SOUND like hippies – yes, scads is a real word, and everything was groovy. True, this really does sound as old as it is. Its hard to believe we actually talked…
Station Profile: Bill Lee, 610 KFRC San Francisco | 1983
For a description as short as this aircheck… Bill Lee is still one of America’s best jocks, the rhymes still flow from his show on WCBS-FM New York. But this is 1983 and the station is KFRC. This sounds like a station promotion tape for the sales department. It runs less than two minutes but…
610 KFRC San Francisco: The End of Top 40 | August 11, 1986; 3:00 – 6:00 AM
Public affairs programming ends and overnight jock Jack Silver picks up where the station always did at 3am – playing the best music. Only, on this particular morning, the playlist is opened up all the way back to 1955. Its the final show of Rock & Roll music on KFRC. The Big 610 was about…
The Howard Clark Show, 610 KFRC San Francisco | November 25, 1966
It seems like it was ALWAYS Para Camero time at KFRC in the 60s. Here’s the Big 610 on Thanksgiving Day playing the All-Time Top 300. Its amazing to hear the Drake sound once again… with Bill Drake voicing a dry Top Hour Legal ID. There was no reverb on KFRC, but the station was…
Howard Hoffman, 610 & 99.7 KFRC San Francisco | October 20, 1993
Audio courtesy of new Contributor Steven Vigil. Description by Steve West Howard Hoffman is an ultra-talented performer, in fact, he markets his voice online at his own website, www.howardhoffman.com (corrected info). It’s no wonder, then, that this former New York City jock (WPIX-FM, WABC, WPRO-FM Providence) sounds larger than the Oldies he’s playing on KFRC.…
Jackson Armstrong, 610 KFRC San Francisco | August, 1983
Courtesy of longtime Contributor Joe Tymecki. Posted elsewhere as part of a long KFRC composite, here’s the late Jack Armstrong with all the energy a jock could muster back at at time in KFRC’s history when they were on top of their game as the Bay Area’s leading CHR station. It was said that FM…
‘Marvelous’ Mark, 610 KFRC San Francisco | August 9, 1983
Found! Another 610 CLASSIC KFRC recording! This time, from a ‘lost’ Joe Tymecki CD archive, we look back to late Summer, 1983. The Summer hits are cookin’ on the big 610! All the personality, jingles and hits are intact in this 10 minute scope of one of America’s best ever Top 40 stations. News with…
