Re: [IRCA] KABL/1460 Salinas CA is no more

KDON was also the original call of the 1210 station in Del Monte that became KMBY and then KNRY.  KDON was a proud rocker back in the 60s when they had a signal.
   
  One last shot on the topic of these infomercials...since they run them at night when they can't think of any other way to make a buck, maybe we should collectively call them "Coast to Coast BM."  There's almost as many of the roto-rooter stations as there are George Noory and Art Bell.

  KDON is what it was when I first heard it. (that's what I was thinking of in

sure they wanted DONK after the famous Don K! I remember KION also- my 
excuse for not being sure is that my old log-books are in the attic. What 
the S.F.area needs is something like "Village 900", that is, if they don't 
already have it.

Mike, "colon cleanser infomercial" hahahahaa. A year ago, I was travelling 
west from Panaca/Pioche, NV and was listening to that "crap" pun intended, 
from KDWN and I was just shaking my head. I was shaking it because of the 
program and mostly because KDWN was broadcasting it. KDWN!! 50,000 watts of 
colon cleanser and the associated impact/compact?? hahahaha What a shame I 
thought.
