I live in Boone, Iowa now, but my brother lives in Tucson, Arizona.  I 
spoke to him on the phone this afternoon and he told me that they had, 
had the worst wind storm he had ever seen in Tucson. Several of his 
neighbors had roofs damaged from just the wind.

I grew up there listening to KTKT from grade school thru high school.

A lot of folks that I later heard in California got their start on KTKT.

John Mac Flanagan, Chris Borden ( who later started a DJ school in the 
Bay Area), Lou Waters (CNN), and others.  It was a great radio station 
in the 1950s and 1960s.  Color Radio..."If you don't want it heard on 
KTKT news....don't let it happen".

See: http://ktkt.homestead.com/

I grew up on KTKT and KOMA.  KTKT had to go off at 1700 local when I was 
young.  But shortly there after KOMA ("Yours truly Kah Oh Mmmm A") came 
booming in.

Sadly, radio has never been the same.
