They gave the KFXM weekenders last weekend off.

THIS weekend, they're all BACK where you expect to find them.

Listen to BIG BAD BILL spin "tiger" oldies from Noon to 3pm this Saturday on the Antelope Valley "Tiger" KFXM, or if you're NOT going to be in the high desert, hear him on KFXM.com!

(P.S. EMPEROR COMPTON returns 9-Noon on Saturday morning, and JOHNNY HELM jocks Noon-3pm on Sunday, too!)

136/KGB's BILL WADE

BILL WADE held down the Noon-4pm shift during the first 4 years of the Drake format in San Diego.

KGB's studios were on Pacific Coast Highway across from the U.S. Marine Recruit Depot and next to Pitzer's Motel, where my family and I STAYED at while I was a very very small toddler.

The KGB transmitter (one guyed antenna) was off of 54th Street in the vicinity of the old Fedco store near Euclid and Federal.

THAT neighborhood of San Diego is called Oak Park.

MARK DENIS joined KGB in October 1966 from KMEN in San Bernardino, replacing Steve Jay in the KGB jock roster, after Mr. Jay went to KFRC in San Francisco. His trademark phrase between records was, "Denis, anyone?"

In 1968, KGBS (Lynwood) dumped their Country format for a "chicken rock" pop format, featuring low key voices such as BRAD EDWARDS (fresh from the I.E. KMEN & KFXM...pictured) and Dick Lyons.
Also pictured is a Los Angeles newspaper advertisement heralding the new KGBS format....never reprinted anywhere...until here now.
