Bobby Noonan was Andrew John Harold who had worked across the street as A.J. Harold at KISN’s competitor, KGAR, in 1967. KGAR was a daytimer licensed in Vancouver, Washington (KISN was licensed to Vancouver, too.) But by the end of 1967, KISN was the only Top 40 station in Portland.
In the 1960’s, KISN had the “KISN Corner” on West Burnside at 10th near downtown Portland, where The Real Don Steele was seen by motorists passing by. KGAR took office space across Burnside and, with floor to ceiling windows, the jocks could “gesture” to each other. I spent many afternoons during high school hanging out with A.J. Harold. I had lost touch with him for decades, but I did locate him in 2001 at KBOI in Boise, where he had been for years, it turned out.
