Contributor Peter Glazer wrote about Robin Mitchell on KB101/KLLB-FM, from May 17, 1981: “I had heard Robin Mitchell on KOL in Seattle in the late 1960’s and even, one day, visited him at the dingy KOL studio out on Harbor Island.”
KB101 was a slick, consistent and proper “Oldies” format at the time of this aircheck, though the record-to-record seques are nothing to brag about. Kudos for the (too few) jingles, which are nice. Mitchell doesn’t appear that often, but it’s encouraging to hear him actually talking to his listeners, “on the fly”.
Most can probably identify the predictable elements (and nearly all the music) of this format, but you must admit there was something to be said for having a real, live “disc jockey”, even if they got the time wrong now and then…
