  3. The year was 1982, not 1983. 49ers won the Super Bowl on January 24, 1982.

  5. Funny. The DJ said “The jingle you just heard, I tell you will be the last time hear KCBS-FM”. That is into 1991 when KCBS-FM landed on 93.1 in Los Angeles, and was an oldies station, still there today as JACK-FM with 93.1 KCBS calls.

  6. OMG! I forgot about Dirk muffing the intro to Rick Derringer! Well, nevertheless the station took off and we went from worst to first 18-34 by the Spring 1982 Book! I was happy and honored to be the first Midday ‘Rocker’ on KRQR which in time melded into “The Bay Area Rocker!” What a fine time that was for us all! I have a full aircheck of on my early shows on KRQR on my Linkedin profile mentioned below.
