[IRCA] The OLD K-BIG AM 740

[Mike McKenna <way2twohot@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PLEASE read the [IRCA] mailing list guidelines at http://www.ircaonline.org/guidelines.htm

When K-BIG AM first went on the air -- back in the late 1950's -- the only Studio was in Avalon -- on the Island.   The Morning DJ -- Robert Q. Lewis (who later did What's my line and other TV shows)  had to fly into work from Long Beach each morning.   If he was late -- because of weather , etc,  K-BIG AM would not sign on the air -- until someone got to Avalon.  About 1962 --  an STL link and double hop from Avalon to Long Beach (Signal Hill) and onto Los Angeles -- was built.  The signal is Directional -- more towards Orange County -- then to LA.
