Yeah Dennis, I remember those horse race recreations very well. Used to check them daily to see how much money I'd lost that day :-)......I remember them as KGYW (I think) back around 1960. Before local KRAK-1140 became a 24 hr. c&w station (one of the very first in California) I'd search all over looking for some yee haw music & found a 30 minute morning program on KGYW. Barely made it to Sacramento on the cheap tablemodle I was using at the time. Yep, the good old days of radio.

At the end of the KNBA's sign-off announcement the announcer would say "Stay tuned for KEX". as soon as KNBA killed their carrier, KEX would be in as strong as ever. Just checked my old log book and under 1190 I only have KEX, no KNBA. Sad that I did not record them in the log book. Someone told me that KNBA make 90% of their money on Sundays when they sold air-time to SF Bay Area ministers. The good old days of radio.
