Who was the last DJ on KLOK-1170 before its change to Spanish in 1988?
- Thread starter Madmansam
- Start date
I heard it was during the morning show on 8/9/88. If you're thinking Jim - it may be Jim Phillips who normally hosted during that time. Some folks here claim to have the flip air check, but I haven't heard it.
I believe it was Jim Phillips and the Spanish programing was not ready at the time "The Spanish KLOK" programing was supposed to take over and their dj announced in very broken english "One more time" by Air supply.
I have the air check if anyone wants it. Ironicly some of the best music played on KLOK was during the final hours when they went "free form" and the dj's brought in their own music collection to play.
Recently KLOK went went from spanish to middle eastern programing and they even opened up their old studios on King Road in San Jose and are broadcasting out of what was once a boarded up studio after Mr. Weaver sold the station. The "new" KLOK held onto the property due the fact their transmitters where located and still are on the property.

It was Jim Phillips who handed the torch over to new KLOK program director Gustavo Medrano at noon on August 9, 1988, when the station became Radio Reloj.

If you're directing this to me, no need. We have the last few days of KLOK before the Radio Reloj switch in the vault. The recordings were by Mike Schweizer, who contributed them to us, but they're also available from Tim Požar's Late Night Software website.
Does anyone know if there are airchecks outside the one on 8/5/88 and two on 8/8/88 on the lns.com site? If anyone is aware of a longer aircheck around this time - and especially 8/9/88, I'd love to get my hands on them.
