Re: [IRCA] Long ago KNBA Vallejo.

Somewhere on tape, I have a recording of that great KNBA sign-off 
introducing KEX. Another one of my favorites was on the 1600 in Yuba City, 
CA, explaining that the FCC required them to shut down at sunset, and done 
in a way that seemed to say, "If we could get away with it, this carrier 
would stay on!"

Back in the early 70's I would listen to KNBA-1190 a 250 watt daytime only 
station in Vallejo, CA  In the winter the horse race recreations would come 
on right before the station would sign off.  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.
