The BIG 610 – KFRC 20th ANNIVERSARY COUNTDOWN
February 14-17 1986
[From notes by Contributor Scott Rayer]
This exhibit will eventually include almost all of the entire KFRC 20th Anniversary BIG 6-10, a four-day marathon starting at 6PM on Friday, February 14, 1986.
This special broadcast followed a presentation narrated by Bobby Ocean, contributed to REELRADIO by Ben Fong-Torres in December of 2001.
The Making of a Classic: 20 Years of KFRC, 1966-1986
These off-the-air recordings were made on 90-minute cassettes (45 minutes per side) and small portions of the broadcast were lost when not in attendance.
What is not on this recording is what was in store for KFRC and the talent. The music format was tanked in six months. Dr. Don left the station, and in another year, he suffered a heart attack. Jane Dornacker was killed in a helicopter crash eight months later.
In some ways, this was the beginning of the end for the station, but I know others have differing opinions.
