Re: [IRCA] Little Story about 1480 KVNR Santa Ana

["David Gleason" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

KWIZ is still on 1st, near where they started. The towers are in a golf
course. They were Spanish form the late 80's until going Vietnamese. I have
a verie somewhere from the early 60's when they had a big banana as a logo,
calling themselves Top Banana Radio.

I hadn't really paid much attention to KVNR's call and it's location, but as

a kid I used to listen to them alot.  I also remember my mom calling into 
the station and I'd hear her over-the-air. No, she wasn't speaking in 
Vietnamese, hi. As a matter of fact, this station taught me what "A Hard 
Days' Night" is all about.  I believe KWIZ's office was on 1st. street, but 
the interesting point is, I always remember that they had a studio in the 
main drag of the Disneyland Hotel.  Any of the "probably" millions of 
tourists could watch the "DJ's" at work behind the glass. KWIZ had a classic

quick singing ID also. It would go -  KW "pop" IZ.  Sometime after that, 710

KMPC started carrying Angels baseball (probably right when they moved to 
Anaheim, duh) so therefore, thanks to my mom who had the radio on at all 
times of the day (and still doe's)  I got to continue growing up with likes 
of Gary Owens, Wink Martindale, Robert W. Morgan, Geoff Edwards, etc.etc., 
right on up to when I started DXing.
