NOVEMBER 1972 – The 10″ x 14″ poster being distributed by KVI to Theater of the Mind listeners was drawn by Gene Larson, a weekend disc jockey at KAYO. Poster includes references to just about any Golden Age radio program one could think of, from the Lone Ranger to Beulah.
Bob Ryan, moderator of KTW FM’s nightly talkshow describes his FM competition as wall-two-wall music… Simulated music… Elevator music. “We might stand out,” Ryan says, referring to his three and half-hour talkshow which begins at 6:30 PM weeknights.
Tracy Smith, former KOMO nighttime announcer, returned to the station this week after a three-year absence. His job now is in production.
