Hey Rockers- It’s Steve Garland, KRQR nite jock from 1982-85 along with my partner in radio Nancy Walton. I’m sure you also remember SF radio’s huge top 40 station KFRC, right? Even rockers enjoyed flipping the dial to the Big 610 back then! If you were a fan I invite you to listen to my Hot Rock Podcast this Sunday. My guest is legendary Kfrc DJ Don Sainte-Johnn. We talk about his career, behind the scenes stories of KFRC, and his new book “San Francisco’s Last Top 40 Deejay”. Don was one of the jocks that helped inspire me to follow a radio career.

The show airs this Sunday 5/31 at 6pm Pacific on “That 80’s Channel” streaming on the iHeart, Audacy, tunein and live365 radio apps.

Hate apps, lol? Just click here and listen, lol:

Hey fellow Rockers! 🦞here. Between ‘86 - ‘88 this Crustacean/DJ went from mornings at KNAC LA to KSJO SJ to KRQR SF. Stayed 5:30am-10am into 1992. to still be broadcasting (& streaming!) after all these years.

We were the sister station to KCBS when FCC RULES & REGULATIONS only allowed the networks or any corporation to own ONE AM, ONE FM radio station and ONE TV station in any market, and a cap on that. Newt Gingrich got a Republican majority to legislate turning media into speculative real estate. Clinton signed the “De-regulation” act and here we are. The hollowing out of the network which had strong standards and practices. Integrity. To quote Edward R. Murrow, “Good night and good luck.”
