Rene,

My boss Chuck Farmer, was also the CE at KVAS. I know he had his
headaches with the IGM system. One carousel as I remember, two reel to
reel decks, and a couple cart machines for IDs, jingles, etc.
In the beginning the two 10 1/2 reels were a mix of easy listening and
MOR hits. Later, when KVAS went C&W, one 10 1/2 inch reel was the
standard C&W hits, oldies and the other he would get a regular 7 inch
reel to reel of the top 40 C&W songs and would run that on the upper
deck. The system would play every 3rd or 4th song from the current C&W
hits reel. Chris Lane was the first announcer when we went to C&W. Then
he switched over to a guy from WIRE in Indinanapolis that announced for
BPI. When I left KVAS in 1975, they were still using the old system.

73,
