Re: [IRCA] Long ago KNBA Vallejo.

["Marty Rimpau" <mrimpau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, I remember a friend of mine telling me about that sign off of k
n b a, but I never actually heard it, possibly because it happened in
the early seventies when I was living in orange county, and later, in
1972, in the San Joaquin valley.  When did they go 1000 watts?  I liked
them in 1976 when they were a top 40 station that didn't scream at you
like the big guys did in San Francisco, something I also liked about
kgbs in Los Angeles, when they were around at 1020 in the early
seventies.

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.
