Nobody's posted here in awhile, so I thought I'd mention a great aircheck I found from KGO Radio in 1948. It features Dude Martin, a local Western bandleader as a DJ playing the popular Western tunes of the day.

Go to http://www. and then click on the KGO Dude Martin - Sunrise Roundup, Feb. 11, 1948 link to hear this interesting broadcast.

KGO has long been known in SF as the nation's leading news/talk station, having begun the format in 1962. But prior to that it was big on Western music along with network shows from ABC (its longtime owner).

Bob Wills had a live show on KGO in I think 1946, hosted by none other than Jack Webb of Dragnet fame.

So, if you can imagine that KGO once had a morning drive DJ who played Western music!
