i wonder how many people remember what "TU" and "OV" stood for back when local telephone exchange prefixes still existed???
(ah, the good ole days when things seemed simpler by comparison)
I'm afraid i'm one of the oldies that remembers TU=Turner and OV=Overland.Different parts of Riverside County had different letter prefixes. I enjoy your insight on the K/MEN,K/FXM days, Lord D.Keep it up!!
Riverside Dweller '55 thru '74.
K/MEN had a jingle that sang the requestline numbers
"Turner Eight Twelve Ninety and
Overland Six One Twentynine one!"

[to "Riverside Dweller '55 thru '74] much obliged for the compliment on my past input here.
i have been in the process of assimilating all my documentation, notes, research sources, personal statements, newspaper clippings, etc., along with my own working knowledge and experience gained by just "being there" (not always in the foreground but present, nevertheless)) for witnessing a lot of the behind-the-doors history of our two fab Top-40 radio stations in the Inland Empire.
only recently, have i been able to begin sharing some of my academic dissertations which i hope will be of interest to some while providing one more keen perspective into the golden heydays of KFXM/KMEN respectively.
Bob, this is why a well-written, cleverly produced jingle is worth its weight in gold -- such memorable jingles (their immediate money-making value aside) tend to have an afterlife long after they have been aired...
