KZFM and KEYS Corpus airchecks From 1969

Johnny Marks has just shared with me 2 additional Corpus airchecks

KEYS-AM Summer 1969 (this 2nd helping of KEYS from 1969 provides a good sense of the sound of this legendary AM top 40 station)

KZFM-FM 1969 (this is a fascinating aircheck because KZFM had an early version of album-oriented rock at the time and is promoting an FM converter for car radios).

I would like to again thank Johnny for sharing these historic South Texas radio treasures. A few more airchecks may be enjoyed at my page: http://www.mostlyuppermidwestairchecks.com/texas-airchecks.html
 
There were some great, long range, "transistorized" car radios back in the 1960s. But they had no FM... and no other input. So you needed an FM tuner that would output a signal in the AM band (mono of course.) Kind of like a VCR outputting on channel 3. The sad part is that the converter box inserted into your antenna line and used your AM car antenna to try to tune FM. It worked... sort of.
