Just a beginning. This will be about radio stations KFXM and KMEN in San Bernardino, California. Top40 radio of the 60's, 70's and even the 80's. More to come!

Great site. Grew up in San Diego and of course a ton of KMEN and KFXM jocks ended up at KCBQ,KGB or KDEO. Huckleberry was huge both at KCBQ and many years later at KGB.
Question: Who came up with the unique Tiger survery look for KFXM, whcih Tullis & Hearne adopted for KDEO and KAFY as well?
First off Thank you Bill for the compliments!
Now answers-no other pictures on the back of the KFXM surveys of any of the other DJs. Don't have all the surveys, but I have no other pictures on the back.
I have one of the Orange Tiger Mags, I'll post that soon. I will also post Mark Ford picture on a survey.
Don't have any idea who came up with the Tiger Survey look. Maybe someone out there knows. Where did it begin?
ooops! i goofed..my request was posting a survey from JULY 1962 that featured a guy 9-midnight named "don barter" or "don barber" or something like that..i thought it was "mark ford" but it was another guy...this guy i recall looked like "the fifth" FOUR SEASON.
MORE STUFF, DOUG
COME ON!!
As a fellow fan of KMEN/KFXM who grew up in the Inland Empire and graduated from high school at the end of the 1960's I can say this site just blows my mind, it's great. I can't wait to see more.

The #25 song on the KFXM survey from 4/18/59 is "If I'm A Fool" by Tony Penn.
He still sings it now and then here in the San Bernardino area with the local band "The Classics".
many thanks, just received a picture of me and my Tiger from Dave Van Buren. I sure looked young. Many thanks

Back in 1966-68, I played in a band called the Almost. We practiced in the back of Lier's Music on E St. We played at The Swing Auditorium when they would have Battle of the Bands concerts. K-MEN was the station we listened to.
Al Anthony, Director of Operations for Tullis & Hearne's radio broadcasting empire, was responsible for the creation of the Tiger Radio promotion along with Howard Tullis' advertising agent.
