To put in my two cents on the s/on's, s/off's, I recall somebody reporting to EDXR, WARR, 1520, when it first came on, with, I think, 500 watts. Its s/off declared that the staff had listened to other stations and found only pale imitations of WARR. At that point the stn may have been a week old!

Somewhere on tape, I have a recording of that great KNBA sign-off introducing KEX. Another one of my favorites was on the 1600 in Yuba City, CA, explaining that the FCC required them to shut down at sunset, and done in a way that seemed to say, "If we could get away with it, this carrier would stay on!" -- Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 6:38 AM Subject: [IRCA] Long ago KNBA Vallejo. Back in the early 70's I would listen to KNBA-1190 a 250 watt daytime only station in Vallejo, CA In the winter the horse race recreations would come on right before the station would sign off. At the end of the KNBA's sign-off announcement the announcer would say "Stay tuned for KEX". as soon as KNBA killed their carrier, KEX would be in as strong as ever. Just checked my old log book and under 1190 I only have KEX, no KNBA. Sad that I did not record them in the log book. Someone told me that KNBA make 90% of their money on Sundays when they sold air-time to SF Bay Area ministers. The good old days of radio.
