This posting triggered a flashback of what was programmed into the push buttons of my ‘56 Ford about the time this ad was in the Bellingham Herald: From left, to right 610 KFRC, San Francisco (only came in at night), 7-3 CKLG, Vancouver, KJR Seattle, Channel 95, 11-7 KPUG, Bellingham, 1300 KOL, Seattle, and on the far right button CFUN 141, Vancouver. “What a Greatest Hits of Radio Stations” to choose from, while cruising downtown Bellingham or out the Guide Meridian
Unfortunately, in dash radios in 1956-era vehicles only featured AM Radios, so listening to the up-and-coming CKLG FM had to be at home on the folks console radio/TV.
That is a great selection of radio stations. At one time, Tacoma teens had 850 KTAC, 950 KJR, 1090 KING & 1300 KOL signals to choose from. While other stations flirted with pop music, these stations were dedicated to the format. In Everett, there was 1380 KRKO. Olympia, 1240 KGY.
Marc Taylor in the Wahl's ad is of course Bill Ogden. And Bob O'Neil is Bob Tria who was at KBRC..KPUG and KGMI and before that he knew Real Don Steele from his roots in Yakima.
