… an AM Radio Legend …
Younger than its sister station, KHJ/Boss Angeles, by a year, KFRC (“The Big 6-10”) shook up San Francisco Top 40 radio with its Bill Drake-driven “more music” format in 1966. Over the years, it seemed to get only stronger, winning a string of Billboard awards and showcasing a parade of DJs who managed to work in their unique personalities while pumping out the hits.
The Big 6-10 men and women included Mike Phillips (most recently at KRTH/Los Angeles), Steve O’Shea, Howard Clark, Bobby Dale, Dale Dorman, Dave Diamond, Chuck Browning, John Mack Flanagan, Marvelous Mark, Beau Weaver, Eric Chase, Rick Shaw, Big Tom Parker, Shana, Dave Sholin, Don Sainte John, Harry Nelson, Jack Armstrong, Sue Hall, Bobby Ocean (who voices this special), Jack Friday, Sandy Louie, Bill Lee, and, of course, Dr. Don Rose.
Produced by longtime KFRC staffer Albert Lord, this is an amazing look and listen at a most influential station, including news, contests, promos, and even a spot for Corn Huskers lotion, one of the station’s first advertisers. Rub some on, sit back and enjoy.
