This is from 1972. Being KIXI, without much jock chatter, it consists of ads and brief newscasts by well-known voices

1. is Rudy Perez….this had to be about the most played spot every morning during the news. Rudy worked approx 10-2 airshift

2. Dean Smith, at the time in KIXI sales, but one of the best paid voice guys in the market

3. Steve Schilling, afternoon to evening guy, who had been at KBRO pre-KIXI

4. Ken Stuart, news director. Worked AM drive through about noonish M-F

The voice before Ken Stuart is Seattle staple Bob Liddle. Every weekday Stuart did the news in the AM hours. Liddle was the morning jock…if you could really call him that. Basically, they had IGM automation and they rolled tapes. Then the announcers would get the music legend and when in the mood they would read off the names of songs. It would be Liddle in the morning. Perez midday and Schilling late afternoon into evening.
