And here’s more rare Salt Lake radio with this hour of smooth-talkin’ Dave Foxx on K-96, KAYK AM-FM/Provo Salt Lake City from June 9, 1976. Yes, it’s stereo, but there’s really nothing over 10Khz. “Stereo” and “hi-fidelity” are not necessarily the same thing, and this exhibit is a good example. There were lots of misaligned carts at the radio station, and fading on the mobile cassette recording side, mostly near the end. One song was restored at cassette flip.
Dave is playing a young adult list, all familiar, with a decided preference for 25-49 females. The station had been previously known as KFMC, a mostly automated “old music” format, and there is even a Sound-Off segment featuring a letter from an angry ex-listener who doesn’t like the new “MusicRadio” format!
Check out that very casual newscast, during which Dave offers a special update from The Mormon Church. And is that Dave on the promos and “imagers”, too? It almost sounds like a one-man radio station!
