I knew of KBRO. But I did not know it sounded so much like KIXI.
It did in our house, Steven Smith! That’s my Papa.
Cool...he has a great voice. I remember him from KIXI about 1972. He was, between announcements, reading the Godfather. And the movie was in town. Your dad is one of my Facebook friends, but neither of us is very active on the site.
