'Fairmont Era' KSFO(50s-early 80s) music question
- Thread starter onairb2014
- Start date
Don't remember the 'What's New' theme...but do remember 'The Sounds of the City' theme they ran. Great station back in '60s...Giants, 49ers, Don Sherwood, Jim Lange, Dan Sorkin et. al. Owned San Francisco ratings in those years.
It was that 40s pop standard, the opening lines were, 'What's new? How is the world treating you?'
Found it online. Clearly a custom thing intended as a news open and not a commercially-available recording of the song:

I was fortunate to be able to visit KSFO when they were at the Fairmont. Great bunch of people.
