Minor correction, Don. KFRC went top 40 in 1966, and stayed in that format
for 20 years.
They became "Magic 61" playing big bands and standards for a few years, then
switched to oldies.
Family Radio made a trade with Infinity and changed 610 to the religious
format they previously aired on KEAR. That was sometime around 2005,
possibly a year earlier.

KFRC was Oldies format when the 'oldies' first came on the air
(60s)..They retained that format until 5-6 years ago when they sold the
station, which then became religious. KFRC is now operating the 1550
station here in S.F. with 'oldies' once again. Actually, they've been
there a year or so (maybe more)....

The old WTAK-1000 in Huntsville was a classic rock station back in the

They went to that format in 1987, and at first, they were NOT simulcasting
their
FM sister, which is extremely rare for an AM station with a rock format to
do. I think they've been WJDL (with varying formats) since about '94 or
so.

Well another good station bit the dust. WERC-960 is gone replaced by the
