Billboard Magazine Radio Forum Competition, 1975

HLeae

I am doing a research piece and I desperately need your help. Who--may I ask--was the ultimate winner (top 40 disc-jockey, million plus market) at the Billboard Radio Forum Competition for 1975? Nominees were: WDHF'S Jim Channell, WOKY'S Bobby Barry, KFRC'S Don Sainte-Johnn, KHJ'S Charlie Van Dyke.

For the past two days, I have searched the World Radio History site looking for the winner, and no luck. I was able to find the nominees that were published in the August 16, 1975, issue, but I am coming up short on who was the actual winner.

Can you please help, or direct me, with my quest for information.

It's in the August 30 issue. There's a story on the front page "WNEW-FM Is Station of the Year". It continues from there to page 16 (and jumps to page 41 after that) and lists the winners. Bob Barry from WOKY won Top 40 DJ, million-plus market:

 
In which (5) years did KFRC-AM win Billboard's Station of the Year Awards?
I believe 1977, 1978, and 1979 was the 3-in-a-row winning span, but, I am not sure.
(The other two?)
