Courtesy of the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. Source The KSFO Collection was donated to the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound by KSFO in June, 1998. Sponsor This finding aid was produced with generous financial support from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. Scope and Contents Though it originally went on the air in 1925, the era of radio station KSFO covered in this collection is largely from 1956-1983, when the station was owned by Gene Autry's Golden West Broadcasters. Besides airing popular music, jazz, and nostalgia, KSFO provided the San Francisco Bay Area with news, sports, and other programming with cosmopolitan flair. Notable broadcast personalities at the station included Don Sherwood, Jim Lange, John Gilliland, Gene Nelson, Al "Jazzbo" Collins, Wally King, Herb Kennedy, Jack Carney, Del Courtney, Dan Sorkin, Terry McGovern, and Carter B. Smith. Legendary sportscasters Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons spent much of the 1960's on KSFO, announcing games for the San Francisco Giants and the San Francisco 49ers as well as Oakland Athletics baseball and Stanford University football. A few airchecks of these broadcasts are part of the collection. However, the majority of the audio found here is from KSFO's production library. This library, maintained on open reel tape, consists of jingles, IDs, music beds, advertising, and featured programming (such as the Mike Powell 5:30 Report) in various forms and versions, although airchecks and related recordings (often marked "Save") are present. KSFO's famous theme song "Sound of the City" exists in multiple iterations, as do recordings of "Bye Bye Baby," the opening music for San Francisco Giants baseball broadcasts, inspired by Russ Hodges' catch-phrase. Singer Mel Tormé lent his signature "velvet fog" croon for station identification, and there are several reels featuring his voice here. The Commercial Vault was KSFO's own name for a series of tapes documenting notable ads as originally broadcast on the station. Although incomplete, it remains a fascinating record of local music-related advertising in the 1960s and 70s. There is also a series titled Promo Vault, which archives the station's promotional campaign spots during the same period. KSFO jingles and other advertising and marketing were produced both in-house and by other companies. There is some content pertaining to management, but very little documentation regarding the internal workings of the station. Almost all printed matter in this collection was originally distributed to the public in one form or another. The collection also contains material from other stations, particularly KYA. In 1983, KSFO was sold to King Radio Broadcasting, which had already owned KYA. It appears that with all the changes in ownership, material from different stations has been intermingled. It would also appear that, due to the overwhelming volume of promotional material, it is likely that much of this collection is derived from KSFO's promotions department. One way for the station to promote itself was through fundraising campaigns. Among the several events KSFO organized, the United Crusades and Guide to the KSFO Collection ARS.0063 2 ARS.0063 Police Athletic League games are generously represented in a variety of media. Other contemporary events covered in recordings include news of the John F. Kennedy assassination, Dan White on KRON in 1979, and commentary from S.I. Hayakawa during the student strike at San Francisco State University in 1968. Physical media in the KSFO collection is primarily audio on tape (around 650 objects), with some video (largely U-Matic cassettes), 16mm film (four reels), photographs, slides, and ephemera (eight scrapbooks of printed matter).

  • {PDF EPUB} Holy Toledo Lessons from Bill King Renaissance Man of the Mic by Ken Korach Big League Life: Five Questions With… Oakland Athletics Broadcaster Ken Korach
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Holy Toledo Lessons From Bill King Renaissance Man of the Mic by Ken Korach Big League Life: Five Questions with… Oakland Athletics Broadcaster Ken Korach. This is the fourth piece in a series of posts centered on life inside professional baseball. March 3 0 marks the eve of Opening Day in Major League Baseball as well as the release of my third book, a novel titled Big League Life . While a work of fiction, this story is the result of years of research about and interview with the men and women who make the “big league life” their life. Many people contributed to the realism of the characters woven into this story and one of those individuals is the subject of today’s “Five Questions with…” post, longtime Oakland Athletics broadcaster Ken Korach. The drama of a Major League Baseball game centers on the performances of athletes competing on the playing field. However, you can’t unstitch the greatest moments in baseball history from the broadcasters that are connected forever with those moments. Is the “shot heard ‘round the world” remembered as clearly today without Russ Hodges’ iconic narration? Does Sandy Koufax’s Perfect Game in 1965 resonate the same way without Vin Scully’s masterful call? Scan through baseball’s archives and you will, undoubtedly, find coupled with every moment a call made by the game’s best broadcasters. Not always beautiful, not always perfect. Each, however, honest, emotional, and timeless in its own way. Red Barber. Dave Neihaus. Ernie Harwell. Harry Kalas. The list goes on and on and it continues to grow today as history unfolds before our very eyes.

Following his death, the A’s permanently named their Coliseum broadcast facilities the “Bill King Broadcast Booth” after the team’s revered former voice.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • The Don Lee-Columbia System
    THE DON LEE-COLUMBIA SYSTEM: By Mike Adams 111 Sutter Street was not the only network broadcast address during the thirties. The other was 1000 Van Ness Avenue, the Don Lee Cadillac Building, headquarters for KFRC and the Don Lee-Columbia Network. It was there that another radio legend was born. Don Lee was a prominent Los Angeles automobile dealer, who had owned all the Cadillac and LaSalle dealerships in the State of California for over 20 years. After making a substantial fortune in the auto business, he decided to try his hand at broadcasting.1 In 1926, he purchased KFRC in San Francisco from the City of Paris department store. The following year he bought KHJ in Los Angeles and connected the two stations by telephone line to establish the Don Lee Broadcasting System. From the beginning, Lee spared no expense to make these two stations among the finest in the nation, as a 1929 article from Broadcast Weekly attests: Both KHJ and KFRC have large complete staffs of artists, singers and entertainers, with each station having its own Don Lee Symphony Orchestra, dance band and organ, plus all of the musical instruments that can be used successful in broadcasting. It is no idle boast that either KHJ or KFRC could operate continuously without going outside their own staffs for talent, and yet give a variety with an appeal to every type of audience.[2] In 1929, CBS still had no affiliates west of the Rockies, and this was making it difficult for the network to compete with its larger rival, NBC.

  • San Bernardino County Waiting, for Now, to Expand Stage 2 Coronavirus Reopening – Redlands Daily Facts
    San Bernardino County waiting, for now, to expand Stage 2 coronavirus reopening – Redlands Daily Facts LOCAL NEWS • News San Bernardino County waiting, for now, to expand Stage 2 coronavirus reopening By SANDRA EMERSON | [email protected] | PUBLISHED: May 19, 2020 at 4:58 p.m. | UPDATED: May 19, 2020 at 10:37 p.m. While San Bernardino County supervisors are eager for restaurants and churches to resume operations after weeks of novel coronavirus-related closures and restrictions, they’re waiting to see how the county’s data pairs with new state guidelines on reopening various sectors. After a lively debate Tuesday, May 19, about the risks associated with reopening ahead of the state, the supervisors agreed to hear more from county staff before expanding the second of the state’s four-phase plan to reopen businesses. Supervisors agreed to meet at 4 p.m. Thursday, May 21, to further discuss the matter. “Our small businesses have sat and waited,” Supervisor Robert Lovingood said. “They’ve waited patiently as long as they can. They cannot suffer this economic suppression any longer.” Lovingood and Supervisor Dawn Rowe supported moving forward with the county’s recovery plan, which assesses the risk of the virus’ spread at businesses and offers guidelines for reopening safely. However, the item was not on the agenda, so the board agreed to schedule a special meeting. https://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2020/05/19/san-bernardino-county-waiting-for-now-to-expand-stage-2-coronavirus-reopening/[5/20/2020 8:18:00 AM] San Bernardino County waiting, for now, to expand Stage 2 coronavirus reopening – Redlands Daily Facts TOP ARTICLES 1/5 S A By .st0{fill:#FFFFFF;}.st1{fill:#0099FF;} M READ MORE Thousands evacuated as river dams break in central “This is a serious thing we have to do in the right way,” Chairman Curt Hagman said.

  • Media Announcement
    MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BAY AREA RADIO HALL OF FAME ANNOUNCES FIRST CLASS OF HONOREES San Francisco (October 4, 2006) — The Bay Area Radio Museum is proud to announce the first group of inductees into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame. The selections were made following a year of study during which input from broadcast professionals, fans and historians was weighed to establish criteria and nominees for enshrinement. Among the first inductees are pioneers from the earliest period of local radio development nearly a century ago, as well as popular personalities from the modern era. Many of the names, such as Don Sherwood and Tom Donahue, may be instantly recognizable. Others, such as Colin B. Kennedy and Harrison Holliway, may be less so. In either case, it is hoped that the creation of the Hall of Fame will help to honor the men and women who have made Bay Area radio so popular over the years, and will make their names and accomplishments known for generations to come. For the near future, the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame will exist primarily on the Internet at www.barhof.com, although a permanent exhibit is planned at the old KRE radio studios in Berkeley, which are being refurbished by the California Historical Radio Society (CHRS). The Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame is spearheaded by the Bay Area Radio Museum, which is an affiliate of the Broadcast & Newspaper Museum of Northern California consortium, which also includes CHRS and the Broadcast Legends. The radio museum was founded in 2005, and currently presents archival broadcast recordings, photographs, documents and historical essays on its website at www.bayarearadio.org.
