KTYM 1460 History

T

thebeach33445

Hey Guys:

Trying to find out 1. when KTYM IN 1961 went to a format of "Religious from sign on to 10am, Country from 10am-5pm, Variety Brokered Programming from 5pm to sign off"?

2. when did KTYM go to full time Jazz? 1965 or 1966? A month or exact date would be awesome.

3. when KTYM went to all Religious Gospel format? 1975? or 1973 when KTYM-FM went to KAGB-FM.

Do have info that KTYM went all country on December 7, 1959. Saw that in a Billboard article from December 1959. So my question is when KTYM signed on on February 14, 1958 what was the format?

Thanks for your help.

In the mid to late '70s they had the brokered "Horse and Jockey" (race recreations and touts by Jay Richards)...it was proceeded by the Rainbow Gospel Hour with Reverend Raymond Branch. (I was really into horse racing back then...not so much the gospel hour!)
 
In the mid and late 1960s, when I'd get bored with KHJ, KRLA, and KFWB, and spin the dial - I remember Godfrey's brokered program on "K-Time in the Daytime" - playing (IIRC) soul music form a record store somewhere near Inglewood. And I seem to recall Art Laboe playing Oldies to hawk his "Oldies but Goodies" collections of 50s songs, on KTYM, among other stations.
 
The Godfrey Show was on KTYM from 1964 to 1968 from 3pm to 4:30pm or 8pm(whenever the sun set in California). Too bad I can't get the exact date. Looked everywhere but couldn't find it. BTW The Godfrey Show played more then just R&B. From that air check looks like it played ROCK too. Heard Paul Revere and the RAIDERS and The Who.

Art Laboe playing Oldies to hawk his "Oldies but Goodies" collections of 50s songs, on KTYM. Would anybody know was his show 5 days a week and what years?

I also see that Smiley Monroe left KTYM in October of 1963 to go to KIEV to be a country DJ over there. Wonder if his show was replaced with another country DJ or if it was replaced with a blocked programmed show?

Thanks

Huggy Boy had a program there in the early 70's, might have been brokered

Found this link to a 1966 Godfrey KTYM air check:

IIRC, Reel Radio has one two - possibly the same air check
 
Hey Guys:

Still doing research on KTYM 1460 and can't find crap on this station. The only thing I found was in Billboard 3-25-1967 issue that KTYM was doing Jazz at 100%. Nothing else was listed for that station. http://www.americanradiohistory.com...rd 1967-03-25-OCR-Page-0032.pdf#search="ktym"

The only thing I can come up with is sometime in 1966 they replaced the religious morning shows and afternoon country shows with jazz between sign on 6am to 3pm and kept the blocked programming in the afternoon from 3pm to sign off.

Any Ideas??
Thanks Tommy C.
 
Just came across an LA Times Ad from Jan. 1963. The Religious Broadcasters of Southern California had the station brokered from 5am-Noon, including a 15 minute show with the one and only Roy Masters!
