KMCQ is going oldies

[djdan]

From what I understand the station will be kind of the same signal as the Funky Monkey.   25,000 watts and low attenna level.  Probably won't reach downtown, eastside or north, but will cover the sound end. 

My dream lineup of former Seattle talent for an oldies station:

Charlie Brown
Rick Hanson
Gary Lockwood
Burl Baer

My dream lineup up of currently working talent for an oldies station:

Ichabod
Heidi May
Kent and Alan
Dancin Danny Wright

Departed and sorely missed broadcasters that really would have made this complete:

Bwanna Johnny
Phil Harper
Rick Honey
Jerry Kaye
Mike Webb (He made his mistake, but the man had suffered enough for it, even before he was murdered. So he is worthy of forgiveness.)

Re. the Hall of Fame....

I plan to resurrect the NW History efforts online so at least there can be presence from everyone who wants one.  It was housed on the PSRBA site until about a month ago when the group ceremoniously canned my old and sorry butt from a 11-year volunteer effort (their interactive + Soundies efforts)...so I figured the history contents that I used to have there should live on separately so I can continue to dedicate my enthusiasm to that...

Meanwhile the PSRBA does have their annual "Crystal Soundie" which was awarded over the years to many of the people on your list.

Ron Bailie
Les Williams
Ray Hutchinson
"Jockey" John Stone
Wally Beethoven
Chris Lane
Lou Gillette
Lee Perkins
J. J. Valley
Rett Hamilton Walker I

Bongwater--

Thanks for the shout out, Lar; you completely made my day!  That being said, these guys and gals listed are true professionals.  This is just a hobby for me!

One I would love to hear again (and am so sorry, the name escapes me) was the lady who covered overnights for KOMO for many years in the 70s/ 80s.  She just was perfect in tone and delivery for what the shift was all about.  She wasn't a jock per se, but for the truckers and the cops on the beat she really was golden.  Throw her on the 1-5A shift on your superstaion!

And I agree w/ you re: Mike Webb.

AND, darn it all, WE still play 50s hits and near misses on OUR oldies station (some late 40s, too):  www.radiokya.com  !

Chico
KAYO-LP
KBSG-LP
(Don't want your classic calls any more- we'll take 'em, we ain't proud!)

I grew up listening to Pat O'Day with his “Granny Peters,” “Mr. KJR,” and “Wonder Mother.” It'd be great if some of those dream team guys were on a station together, but who would listen? Certainly not the younger demos every station is after.

That would be Jaynie Dillon.  She's alive and well in Tacoma and doesn't miss radio!!

Thanks, LBB!

Re Mike Webb, to what mistake are you referring Bongwater?
