Fresno April Fool radio parodies

S

segopalm

Hello everyone - I forgot to ask this last April, so I'll ask it early this time. There was an series of April Fool radio parodies sometime in the early 1970s that amused me at the time. I know is was early 1970s since I remember doing homework and listening with my Koss Pro 4AA headphones that's I'd somehow hooked up to a tube receiver that I'd pulled out of something or other. I don't remember the station, but essentially there were short (30 second?) fake ads of the other Fresno stations. I remember the KFIG parody (typical FM radio DJ), and a take on one of the robo-stations at the time that just kept repeating the time or the weather.

I would love to hear these again to see if they are as funny to me now as they were to me then :) Does anyone know what I am talking about?

thanks

KKDJ did some great April fools parodies in the during it's existence. The only one I really remember is for KKNU 'beautiful music'- it was parodied as "new-new". I know KFIG did some in the early 70s but I don't remember them. Old-timers fer sure.
