Re: [IRCA] RIP KFRC

Thanks for the history of a great radio station.
 
Thanks to websites such as www.reelradio.com that honor the history of top 40 radio, KFRC will never be forgotten.
 
The sad thing is that on the night KFRC changed ownership from Infinity to Family Radio, only 50 seconds was allowed for KFRC to acknowledge the change and say goodbye to the audience.  Family Radio did more about the change after that.
 
It may be gone as we knew it on 610 but we'll always remember the great personalities that passed through KFRC.

I noted in Don Kaskey's email that KFRC is now KEAR.  They were one of the longest-lasting call letters in American AM history, and also one of the longer-lasting stations on a single frequency.  In honor of the retirement of the AM calls, here is their history.
 
* Signed on 24 Sep 1924 as KFRC/1110
* Changed frequency to 1120 in spring 1925
* Changed frequency to 660 in 1927
* Changed frequency to 610 on 11 Nov 1928
* Changed calls to KEAR on 18 Oct 2005
 
I suppose if Dr. Don Rose is gone, KFRC should be too.
