… so we’re ten degrees cooler out here at Santee …
[Description from notes by Pat Maestro]ÂÂ
Jack Vincent had the longest-running all-night radio show on KCBQ (1170 Khz)
in San Diego. From 1955 through 1968, Jack’s mellow tones could be heard by all those who tuned
in throughout the night, from midnight until 6AM.
KCBQ’s main picture window studios were located in downtown San Diego at 7th and Ash streets,
but Jack Vincent broadcast his show from the transmitter site in Santee.
This aircheck is of Jack Vincent on December 25, 1965, and Jeff Crane is featured with news.
The illustration is one of a series of the KCBQ personalities of the era, by an artist identified only as “Frye”. Notice the resemblance to Clark Gable! It was printed on a KCBQ post card when the rate to mail it was 4 cents.
Jack Vincent passed away on January 29, 2017. He was 99.
