KHJ published a slick Top 300 of all-time booklet in August 1966. On the front was a collage of the artists they played. On the rear are drawings of the KHJ Boss Jocks Robert W. Morgan, Frank Terry, Gary Mack, The Real Don Steele, Johnny Mitchell, Sam Riddle, Johnny Williams, Steve Clark & Tommy Vance. This was one of those rare items not distributed through record stores but by mail to those who wrote to KHJ requesting one. Courtesy California Aircheck www.californiaaircheck.com

Gary Burbank was the big dog in Afternoon Drive for WLW-AM/Cincinnati for 20+ years until he retired in September 2007. Gary also owned a chain of BBQ Restaurants in Cincinnati (Burbank's Real Bar-B-Q) but there's only one left now in Sharonville Ohio. Great food. Check it out when you're in Cincinnati! www.burbanksbbq.com Gary was a giant in Top 40 radio (WAKY-WKLO-CKLW etc) and AC and Talk Radio at WLW. One of radio's legends for sure.

In the early 70's, KXOA morphed into KNDE (Radio KaNDiE)after the station was sold. At first the station ran an AOR format but later flipped it to Top 40 to once again compete with KROY. When this survey was out, KNDE jumped to the #1 spot in Top 40 radio in Sacramento (April-May 1976) but dropped back to #2 behind KROY in the fall book that year (Oct-Nov 1976). The nicely printed survey folders were gone by 1977 and the cash wasn't flowing in 1977 like it had been when the station was #1 in 1976. Survey courtesy of California Aircheck www.californiaaircheck.com which also has many audio samples of KNDE from the 70's.

KXOA and KROY were the big dogs of Sacramento radio back in the 60's. This is one of the cheaper looking KXOA music surveys published in 1967. 147KXOA is back though on the Internet, streaming live audio 24/7 at www.147kxoa.com Survey courtesy of Gene Knight, KYXY San Diego

KERN/Bakersfield started a "Super Comics" weekly publication that included their Top 40 survey on the rear back in the Summer of 1975.

Jackson.

Legendary Top 40 giant KXOA/Sacramento has returned to the airwaves as an Internet station, playing "Classic Rock & Roll and Soul" Oldies from the 60's and 70's. Unlike most Internet stations, it is not a juke box but has DJs on the air 24/7. Live streaming from the website at www.147kxoa.com

KERN/Bakersfield single stick in 1979 on Planz Road (tiny KERN building with studio/offices/transmitter was between the tower and the street. Tower has since been moved and this location had cheap housing built on it. Photo courtesy of http://www.bakersfieldtop40.com/

The KERN/Bakersfield control room hadn't changed much in the 70's -- at the time that they were usually the #1 station in the market. That's a cheap Electro Voice (EV664?) mic in the control room, but it actually sounded pretty decent on the air.
