KBLA Los Angeles

(Contributor: Tom

It was there for a good
time, not a long time.
KBLA - a predecessor of the legendary KROQ - went to a rock format for
a couple of years from 1965 to 1967. The station had well-known jocks
like Bob Dayton, Roger Christian, Emperor Hudson and Harve Miller, but
its 1,000-watt signal was no match for the 5,000 watts of KHJ.
Enjoy William F. Williams
on KBLA
from December 27, 1965 (UNSCOPED) ... in the
Aircheck of the
Week.
NEXT UPDATE: December 11
