… … Friday, with the Stone rollin’ along … …
[Description by Uncle Ricky; Contributed by Jeff March]
C.J. Stone is featured on this recording of late afternoon drive on KXOA/1470 in Sacramento, California. This 5KW station challenged 1KW market leader KROY/1240 for many years, and was known as KNDE (Candy) for a time in the 70’s.
Terry Nelson was the PD during this time.
This is tight 1980’s CHR – no fat, no fluff, no jingles – hit music with a friendly personality, and a healthy spot load. Advertising on the station was sold “in combo” with the hugely successful Adult Contemporary K-108 (KXOA-FM), and 1470 had some respectable numbers of their own.
