KJR history question

Portland has been, is and always will be the little city with an inferiority complex. It always tries to look better than its big brother 165 miles north.
 
I seem to have the power to restore this thread! Thank you, Mr. Moderator, sir. For my next miracle, I'm now considering parting the Pacific Ocean. :)
 
I also wrote Mr. Moderator, so I want 50% of the proceeds. :)

But seriously, a good account of KJR history is a good thing, especially to those who were too young to remember this influential radio station.

To take this back to the OP, I would make an educated guess that the midday talent first aired "If You Could Read My Mind". I remember Lan Roberts, but another poster has a different view.

Who was doing middays and afternoons in late '70? I am beginning to think it was Norm. Pat? Can you confirm the lineup?

Wow. Now we're REALLY getting into archeology.

Besides Pat O'Day himself, there is a couple other guys who might have those details; Jason Remington of http://www.seatacmedia.com/ He has access to newspaper radio columns with show listings from that time period from Victor Stredicke (who's also still around) and a lot of old school radio folks pop up there from time to time. It's got all the inside war stories and info you could ever want. And then some.
