icepickphil Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) What a find! KFMK was the first 'free form' FM rock station of the late 60s and preceded KLOK and KAUM.

I was sort of expecting something different. I was pleasantly suprised not to hear Sam Malone and his retard crew. About half way into the broadcast they do a weather report. The DJ clearly called a number which gave him a recorded report. The DJ talked through it which was pretty humorous. I guess this was the Beattles hour as all the songs are tunes from them. Great find. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I remember overhearing the radio playing there in Houston back in the early 1960s. Two car dealership commercial jingles are still in my head: Chuck Davis Chevrolet and Tommie Vaughn Ford. Last year Tommie Vaughn died at age 87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
