That's KNBR, not KTCT.
They even call KTCT on air "KNBR".... this one would work as its the only one they have.. im sure if you sent a message there, it'd eventually get to the right person.
Note KNBR is a Brand for Sports/Talk in the Bay Area. Officially 1050 is KTCT but has been using the KNBR Name since 2003 to air stuff that would be pre-empted on 680AM and 104.5 FM.
Sounds like the name of their new format. Quiet @1050 AM. I remember them well as a 1kw daytimer broadcasting off of a single tower by the San Mateo Dump. I also remember the jingle in Spanish…. “Radio KO-FY, mil cincuenta”!
Wasn't 1050 originally owned by the City of San Mateo?
It was KVSM originally, but it was not owned by the city. It was known as the Voice of San Mateo. For a time it was a Country station.
1550 KSMO was licensed the same year, 1947 and was operated by the San Mateo Times. Years later the station sold and the city of license was changed to San Francisco as KOBY.
Apropos of nothin': Back when it was KVSM as a daytime-only Western Music station in the early 1950s, the station's studio was at the transmitter site next to the San Mateo Bridge approach – adjacent to the toll plaza on the San Mateo side, back when there were toll booths on both ends of the bridge.
One of the most popular DJs on KVSM back then was Cottonseed Clark – a not-so-distant cousin of mine – who would respond by calling out "Howdy, Honker!" to anyone that tooted their car horn when passing the marsh-side studio.
More about ol' Cottonseed at CottonseedClark.com.
Years later, James Gabbert bought KOFY and KPAY (1060 AM) in Chico – which he killed off so that KOFY could get an upgrade to 50,000 watts from the Hayward end of the bridge. (The end of the bridge with the toll plaza now.)
