We are a 100,000 watt A/C station, KMCQ, in the Columbia River Gorge,

with an opening for an AM Personality. We are not a satellite

station-we program our own music and are live and local. We are known

for our contests and community events, and also for our Recreation

Reports, like Bart's Best Bet for Wind and Recreation. If you'd like to

live in "recreation heaven" and work for a great station, call 1-800

288-5116, fax your resume: 1-541-298-5119 or come by personally, 719

East Second, The Dalles. Your calls or letters should be addressed to

the GM or PD.

Per TV Click, there are many AM Stereo stations in Portland when in fact

only 860, 1040, 1290 and 1520 currently have a "stereo" signal. What

happened to the others?

At 3:30pm, on KOAC Portland,OR 550AM, there was a

story about scientists uncovering objects inside

of humans and not sure what the objects were. Is there

more on that story? Given the time on NPR radio

from OPB; It probably is the "The World" program,

although I am not sure. Any clues? It was some

scientific conference from Chile or Brazil I think.

will be getting married next summer and would like to have live music. We

were thinking about music thats not too mellow, but not Kenny G. style

either. Thank you for any information you have.

Hi!

Ok, you asked and here are some of my thoughts.

I am somewhat disappointed a Jacor's changes for KEX and "K-news" ( which

will always be KGW to me). I was hoping that "K-news" would be exactly that,

news 24 hours a day like CKWX in Vancouver, BC, KCBS, KNX and other major

market stations. On the other hand I was hoping that KEX would be (mostly)

talk with mostly local talk. Or if nothing else, KXL would be a good choice

for a 24 hour news station. Maybe we'll have one someday.

Once WOWO makes their change in nighttime pattern and power, KEX should jump

on expanding their east and southern patterns before the FCC decides to put

another 100 stations on 1190. I have an old nighttime area coverage map

which shows more of a signal to the south than the current pattern in the NRC

Nighttime pattern book, which shows all of their signal heading to the

northwest. KEX is the only station from Oregon that you can hear in many

places at night and they need to protect that.

Good move by KWJJ to switch formats to talk. Nice to hear the I-man back on.

73,

Pat Roberson,

Just thought you'd like to know...many of 'NRK's faithful morning show

listeners swear they heard Mike Chase offer a snowboard to ANYONE who

could get on the air with Lars and get the magic phrase "do you have a

plastic ass" on tape. They called KXL upset because their favorite

music station "screwed them". Lars, with the help of KXL management,

decided to ease their suffering by giving 300 shares of Morrow

Snowboard stock to 30 lucky listeners. Why only buy from the company

when you can own part of it? On top of that... the owner of Alpine

Sport Haus in Wilsonville happened to be listening to the show and

made an unsolicited offer to our listeners. The first person to walk

in the door of their new store and say, "Lars Larson has a lot of

class!" would receive a complete snowboard package. Board, boots,

bindings and all! According to owner Rob Fernandez... they had a

winner in just minutes and runners-up receieved merchandise discounts.

Isn't it funny that one of our LISTENERS offered more than 'NRK'!

Dear Dan

Today I came across your website contribution, which I really enjoyed.

I am a former broadcaster and now lecture in radio journalism at the London

College of Printing.. probably the best place for aspiring British

broadcasters outside of the BBC.

I am in the process of collecting station jingles from the 50's 60's and

70's for a study and would really appreciate it if you could let me have

copies of any jingles you may have.

I'll understand if you can't help, but please do drop me an e-mail anyway.

Of course, I can arrange for postage and tapes, etc.

Thanks very much.

Yes! I've got a good reason to listen to talk radio again! Tom Leykis

is back. After being a faithful listener to talk radio for many years,

I was so disappointed when kotk changed to k-news (boring lineup).

I searched the airwaves at that time of day to find some other

interesting shows, but alas nothing of interest. I'm setting my dial to

1080. To whoever is responsible, a big thanks!

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that you've set up a great radio site.

I'm working in my office and I was wondering which radio stations

were internet broadcasting, I found all the info very quickly from

your site.

I've also noticed some of the excitement on the AM band (new stations,

people moving, programs being dropped). It was nice to read up on

all this and find out what was going on.

Keep up the good work!

Do you have any info on Chris Burns? He did a public affairs program

with Mike on KGON around 1977. I would like to contact him if possible.

Thanks for any info you may have.

Other people from that time I would like info on are Gary Smith

from KYXI or was it Gary Johnson. I believe he was the news director.

Also James Jones or Jim Jones. he was a news announcer on KYXI for a

very short time.

I was a news tech at KYXI around 1977. I just moved back to

Portland and am looking for a job. I wonder if there are any board op

jobs open.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Its nice to hear talk mistress Victoria Taft back on the air. You can hear

the former KXL-AM evening talk show host on 620-AM KEWS on Saturday

mornings from 9:00A-Noon.

Victoria has a high energy approach to her show. She's fun, witty and

doesn't pull any punches. I don't think she suffers any fools.

Its nice to hear a female talk show host for a change. Too bad KXL-AM

didn't leave her alone when Victoria worked for her. KXL's loss is KEWS'

gain.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK ON THE AIR VICTORIA!!! :-)

I found your Portland radio site, and since I am desperate for some

information and don't know how else to get it, I'll ask you. Do you know

if any radio station in the Portland area carries a syndicated show

called "In the Studio"? I think it's a weekly one-hour interview show

and the interviewer is someone called "Redbeard"(?) Anyway, I've heard

that this week's show is an interview with Jackson Browne. I'd like to

hear the show, but don't have any idea what station might carry it. Can

you help? Thanks.

Corporate radio JUST DOESN'T GET IT! After serving the NW for at least 30

years-possibly more-as a country music radio station-home to some Portland

radio legends-like Sammy Taylor, Leo Erickson, Chris and Dennis Ackerman,

etc, KWJJ-AM ceases to exist. In its place-a station with "used"

call-letters-KOTK. What's so insideous about all of this is the disregard

the station's owners have for KWJJ's HERITAGE. It was one of the first

stations in Portland to go country. Many of us who got into radio, cut our

teeth listening to the likes of Taylor, Erickson,etall, wishing of the day

we too might be able to sit behind the mikes at the powerful 1080 dial

location.

For years-I've read in the radio trades and heard speeches about how

precious a station's call letters are---how they are to be treated as a

"brand franchise" in the mind of the listener. Obviously the current owners

of KWJJ and also of the former KGW (one of the earliest radio stations on

the air both in Oregon and the West Coast. Now in all fairness to the

current owners of K-NEWS, it isn't their fault for being denied the use of

KGW-AM. That honor goes to the owners of KGW-TV 8, who prohibited the radio

side from using KGW because the TV station owned the "rights" to the call

lettters and would not allow the radio side to carry forth the proud

tradition of that one time top rated, highly popular radio station.

These are further examples of how BIG CORPORATE AMERICA is runing the radio

industry. I just wish there were a Portland Television Station Guide--I'd

really have something to say about the current round of television

newscasts! It continues to be a sad, sad day in radio.

Perhaps a month ago (Sept. 19 seems to ring a bell), you programmed

a Piano Concerto in Eb by Rudolph Gettins (I'm not sure about the

spelling of the last name). The only thing the announcer said in

addition was that he wrote in in 1920. I've asked all my fellow

musician friend - no one has heard of him. Could you do some

searching for me? It would help in locating a recording if I had the

last name correct. Thanks, Tom H.

I've lived here for seven years and the ONLY station I can tolerate is

KKJZ.

In my quest to find a way to send an e-mail to Westinghouse/CBS or

Westwood One Radio Network or American Radio Systems, I've come up

empty. Even when I can locate KKJZ anywhere on the net, there is no way

to click on to it. Why?

What I want to do is to beg for a good R&B station like KBLX in

Oakland CA., or the one I listened to in Philadelphia about 15 years ago

(don't recall the call letters),

They had GOOD music, Portland stations just plain SUCK! Big time!

This town has more than it's fair share of country, talk, christian

and right wing stations. KKJZ is good, but I like R&B better, and there

is nothing out there for those of us who do.

Any way to persuade one of these mega broadcasting conglomerates to

start one up?

thinking? We came for the OLDIES!! Did you notice the audience slowly

getting smaller and smaller. We tried to hang on, hoping they would play

oldies, but we couldn't stand it any longer and left early, like many in the

crowd.

Please, next time you book an oldies group for an oldies concert, make sure

they are going to play oldies music. That's what we expected, that's why we

listen to your station, that's why we went to your concert.

Thanks

I went to school with Pat Patii.  I think his real name was Alfred. I don't remember

for sure. We graduated from Roosevelt High in 1957. I would like to know if

he is still on the air and if he has an e-mail address I would like to get

it, to find out how some of the rest of the graduating class is doing.

I have been back to Oregon several times but it seems like the graduating

class was swollowed up. I did not run across one of my classmates.

Hopefully you can help. Tks.

Its a sad time in Portland radio.

A radio station with a decent format down the drain and for what.

Traffic and weather every 10 minutes, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Gallagher.

Sounds like boring KXL?

(sorry- not boring if you are a dittohead or in a coma)

No, it's boring KEWS or K-News. K-News Twenty-Twenty Sports? Give me a

break. This is the most unorginal station going. Alot of people listen

to KOTK because the wanted something different, now Jacor has given us

KXL leftovers and more lame morning news. Who really cares about hearing

the same news stories over and over until 9AM?

Don Imus and Alan Colmes are alot more entertaining than anything else

on the local talk radio dial. I hope for sanity and variety that another

station picks them up.

Thanks KOTK for the memories.

I just wanted to say: What do you all think Imus is? He's a fairly

conservative type. It suprises me that no one seems to like Imus AND Rush.

Anyhow-Bring IMAN back!! We need more fun radio! What's this about KINK

changing to protect their sister stations? Hope they leave the cool,unique

music in place.

What happened to the woman on the 10-11 p.m. hour on KBPS/KPSU on

Saturday night? She was a kick, but I haven't heard her for two or three

weeks.

Looks like Westinghouse/CBS is buying ARS. The corporate conglomerates just

keep getting fatter. Look for Walter Cronkite to come out of retirement to

play "Straight Country" on 970 AM?

Portland Radio Guide,

I was one of the "right wing nazi's" who followed Rush over to KEWS from

KXL. I enjoy the KEWS line. Of course a change of this magnitude is

going to make people unhappy and disoriented but it really is a small

deal. I listened to KXL for a year and a half and switched tracks the

day Rush moved - no big deal.

 

I do however, find Dr. Laura to be very opinionated but you know what?,

that is what she gets paid for. I like listening to all of the losers

she tears into.

 

K-News is alright. One suggestion would be to up their wattage from

5000 to say 50,000. It is hard to hear sometimes in the outlying areas.

Hey Dan,

Thanks for this site. I'm currently living in Sacramento, but I check in

here all the time to see what's up in Portland. Keep up the good work!

I would like to listen to Rush on audio net, are you up and running?

I listen at work over the internet.

Please help,

We need a stock market update after the noon time news like you had in the

past. Thanks, Bob Gisler
