Good thread here!

here's are my contributions:

#5. - The K-R-L-A- Go!
#4. - The classic KRTH Los Angeles of the 70's-80's
#3. - All of the TOH's from the Boss Radio heyday of 93 KHJ
#2. - "KMPC Los Angeles" of the 60's-80's

And how many of you remember this one from the late 70's-early 80's:

In the early and mid 1990s I used to really enjoy Santa Barbara's KIST jingles. "K-I-S-T 13-40!" Even though most of the programming was canned satellite oldies programming, the jingles made the station worth listening to when cruising up the 101.

Back when that station was still on the air on previous boards we debated whether KIST's jingles were homemade or just produced by a low-budget jingle company.

I stand to correct myself.....

WNCI is 150,000 ERP

This ID was a great ID, the KBIG ID. It sounded like you were in Hollywood, and with that huge signal at 104.3, that made it sound greater.

Of course, the Hot KIIS jingles (which started at KIIS, and was probably on in almost every market in the nation) had great top of the hour ID's, and if only they could be used today.

KRTH has the best ID's now in the Southland, with that great reverb that very few stations have now.
