A Rock ‘N Roll Revival Rides The Radio Airwaves/Female Jock Canned

Rock ‘n’ roll revival is 6-hour KUUU feature
VICTOR STRIEDICKE–KUUU this week dumped a living, breathing after-midnight female disk jockey for a cold indefatigable machine. But what the heck? Females on the radio are an endangered species anyhow.
Now, about tonight: Don Christi, new KUUU program director, is offering a special feature this afternoon and tonight. Since 3 p.m. KUUU has been presenting “Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival,” a six-hour recap of pop music from 1956 to 1963. The music of such folk as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers is evident.
“We’ll have all the music that is of interest to persons in the age bracket of 25 to 34,” Christi said.
