This page is dedicated to Radio History. I have always loved this business and loved music. Radio has changed
so much over the decades, even since I first started listening in the early 60's and then got my first gig in 1978 while
still in high school in Tucson,Arizona.
As a listener I have fond memories of listening to "Border Blasters" such as X-Rock-80 and The Mighty 690 from Mexico.
In high school it was KWFM in Tucson, and during my frequent visits as a teen to Cincinnati and San Diego I listened to WEBN,WLW
and 91X and KROQ. Then while in the Army in Europe it was Radio Luxembourg and American Forces Radio.
As a Disc Jockey my memories were made at the legendary KSTM Phoenix and KWFM and KLPX in Tucson, along with gigs
at KUIK and Q105 in Portland,Oregon.
I discussed in an article a few years ago, a brief overview of radio history. Where we've been, where we're going
and what I believe is currently wrong with the AM & FM broadcasting industry: http://worldradiozone.tripod.com/id8.html
I can only try to bring you memories & listening pleasure through the station I now operate and program, KBFD 104.9
at Sunset Beach, Oregon. Listen on-line below and enjoy the "Vintage FM Music Radio" sound as we spin B-Sides, Indy artists,
New Music and Standards! In between tunes on KBFD you'll hear classic FM commercials, promos, ID's and clips of American
Forces Radio-Saigon. Also to help us remember, I've put together a list of links to all the great stations I've just
mentioned. Not everyone is as passionate about radio as I am, but for those that are, I think you'll enjoy this website.
