Johnny Holliday, KYA San Francisco Top 30 of 1967, December 9, 1967 (2:17:27)

The Johnny Holliday Collection
… I got a brand new shiny Buick Riveria, and I got more cash …
The debut of this exhibit on Sunday, December 9, 2007 celebrates our second 2007 40th anniversary presentation of Johnny Holliday on San Francisco’s KYA. Picture of KYA jocks with The Monkees
Here’s the Top 30 of 1967 as presented on a Million Dollar Weekend, December 9, 1967. The countdown is nearly intact, but there are also a few Name It And Claim It and extra surprises.
Again, we hear the Draper-Blore thematic stagings and jingles used by Chicago’s WCFL. Lamar Sherlock is featured with a newscast reporting the final voyage of the Queen Mary ocean liner and the marriage of Lynda Bird Johnson to Charles Robb (later, the Governor of Virginia.)
The picture of Johnny, fellow DJ Chris Edwards and The Monkees is from Johnny’s book, “From Rock To Jock”. Thanks to Johnny and The Bay Area Radio Museum for this aircheck of the Top 30 of 1967!

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
