I grew up on the wrong coast - when I was a little kid i used to watch the
"Real" Don Steele dance show on KHJ-TV every saturday night in the early 70's.
I grew up in Santa Barbera and I fondly listening to the ledgendary KIST
(which
had thier studios and tower on top of a bank building downtown) and KACY in
Oxnard.
When my family moved to Bartlesville Oklahoma in 1974 I discovered not only
the
Tulsa Top 40 stations KAKC and KELI but many great midwest AM rockers at night
like WLS (with John "Records" Landecker), KAAY, KSTP, WHB and good' ol
KOMA. I
wish I had lived in OKC during the late 70's when they had 2 FM and 2 AM
Top 40
stations in the same city.
When I went to college at UCO in Edmond in the early 80's I remember
driving by
KOMA's tower in Moore one night. After Dj'ing for stations with puny signals
and tiny towers, It was a super impressive sight to see and actually feel
those
three HUGE towers glowing with 50,000 watts of power. Its a shame the station
is now wasting its time with a lame talk/news format instead of rocking with
oldies.
