KNHC Playlist 5-5-72
- Thread starter Bongwater
- Start date
The funny thing about the publication of the playlist, is unlike commercial stations of the time, KNHC hardly ever played songs in that playlist with any regularity. It was the Music Director's job to publish some sort of a weekly playlist, usually loosely based at his/her discretion and in combination with the Billboard Top 100 numbers for the week. Wanting to be known as a bit of a rogue station, the MD was usually encouraged to mix the playlist up to indicate diversity in the music. The station actually had several blocks of different types of music throughout the day, ending with my "Hard Rock" show up to sign off. None of the "Hard Rock" titles or artists were generally published in the playlist, because the Instructors were concerned about the School Board objecting to that type of music.
Some fun titles in that list to look up...I recognize most of the songs but not all of them.
And Seattle hadn't given up the exchange names for phone numbers yet, by '72 in Iowa they had largely gone by the wayside. I'm guessing EM = Emerald...

North Seattle/Lake City was serviced via the Emerson Exchange Office. The whole "Emerald" thing around Seattle naming came many years later.
