KCBQ AM

[michael hagerty]

I have picked the Santee KCBQ outside of Las Vegas in the morning. When stationed at MCB 29 Palms in the late i960's we could pick up KCBQ in the days quite well and I think Michael Haggerty has mentioned listening in Bishop. It seems they sent some good signal up the western California basins.

Rickity: I listened in Bishop...but only for about half an hour a day...just before the pattern change at sunset, when KCBQ would disappear and be overrun by KLOK, San Jose. I probably listened once or twice in the morning for half an hour after pattern change, but there was also KFRC, KFI and KHJ to squeeze in.

Am I correct that Salem doesn't care, as they are not in it for the money only to "spread the word?"

I had no problem listening to KCBQ here in LA in 1970, when Charlie Tuna was doing mornings, and Christopher Cain, Gene Knight, Bill Moffitt, Rich 'Brother' Robbin & others worked there (sooner or later).

Marv: That'd be 1972. Charlie's last day at KHJ was January 14, 1972. He was at KCBQ by March and then went to KROQ, Burbank for its Labor Day premiere that year.
