Question On Current KTRB Stunt Programming?

M

Madmansam

Since I am not able to hear the new KTRB stunt programming, I am curious. Is it continuous music with no repeats, or are they running a continuous loop (where it repeats itself every hour or so). Any DJ's at all yet? I read that it is "The San Francisco Sound". Is it strictly Rock or is there any CHR/Pop? Have they played "We Built This City On Rock And Roll"?
 
The playlist is pretty narrow, and there are repeats. Mostly Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Steve Miller band, Santana, Creedence Clearwater revival, Country Joe and the Fish, Janis Joplin, Tower of Power and so forth. But of course the era was only a few years long, and there were only so many Bay area bands, so the pickin's are not in the thousands.
Still, more adventurous than any of the AM's in the bay area at the time. Not as varied as KSAN or KMPX, because they played a wider variety from all over, not just the Bay area.
 
Don, were you ever an engineer for KXFM Santa Maria?
 
I took the station apart when it was bought in 1974. I never made it back, somebody else rebuilt it.

They seem to be playing an edited version of Quicksilver's "What About Me", which deletes the line about smoking marijuana. If that's deliberate it's pretty damn silly, considering the era they're claiming to celebrate.
 
I heard the "uncensored" version this morning. No big deal.

So, down here on the southern fringe of the primary coverage area, the skywave is fairly brutal. There is enough groundwave to cause severe phase cancellation and audio distortion, of course. If this is really the final version of the day/night pattern, it's too bad. I know that KTRB had to protect the 880 khz noisemaker south of Salinas, but the signal is less than I expected. At 9:30 AM, I have around 700 microvolts on the FIM-41. KGO has 1.9 millivolts, and KCBS has about 1.5 millivolvts.

Oh well.
 
what you are listening to is the night pattern around the clock. The day tower sight is awaiting permits to build.....
 
Ah, I checked the FCC database. I see. I waws away for the month of January and did not look since the license to cover was filed. Wow, three 600 ft. towers at Sears Point! That ought to get out like gangbusters.
I'll be back on the Big Island in a few weeks, so I'll check to see how well 860 does over there. KMJ comes in fine most nights.
