and what's interesting is that CBSFM here in NY is running ads for KCBS' 100th Anniversary - cool... 8)
Congratulations KCBS.
KCBS, going back to its days as KQW under the ownership of Fred Hart in the 1930s, has always taken pride in its place in broadcasting history.
On the museum website, we've got a great exhibit featuring the 1945 "Story Of KQW," a dramatized version of Doc Herrold's work in creating the station. The program features young Jack Webb in the role of Doc Herrold (well before Webb became famous as Sgt. Joe Friday in "Dragnet"), along with narration by Ken Ackerman and Clancy Cassell:

At the end of the broadcast, the real Doc Herrold speaks about his station; it may be the only actual recording of Herrold that remains today. He died a short time later in virtual anonymity.
On Saturday, July 18, the Broadcast Legends will be performing "The Story Of KQW" on stage during the annual KRE Live! open house, presented by the California Historical Radio Society. Providing the narration will be none other than Ken Ackerman, who recently turned 87 years old.
(Ken Ackerman is a spring chicken compared to Aaron Edwards, who turned 89 on Wednesday!)
