Sad to see how the KFXM Tune Sheet has lost it's flavor and uniqueness, now reduced to a bland publication lacking any of the promotional and entertaining character from Tiger Radio's heydays. Too bad.
But it's still a welcome contribution for Doug to continue posting the post-Tiger Radio surveys since they represent the final legacy of KFXM, a once-great radio station!
Yes, do appreciate the
surveys.
Was Al Anthony gone from KFXM.
He resurrected the station in
the mid 60s and gave KMEN competition.
At one point, Tullis fired
Al Anthony. I don't know if it
was during this period.
Mrs. Tullis managed to yank
him back to KFXM but not sure
of the timeline. She was in
charge as Mr. Tullis had died.
OK, who knows the details??????
The downslide of KFXM, and overall
AM radio, was on. KFXM has only
6 years to go and then they
pull the plug.
Does anyone have an aircheck
of the station's last hour???
John Bunnell's story about the firing of his father, Bob Bunnell (Sales Manager) and Al Anthony
(Vice President, Director of Operations) from KFXM, is available at the following URL address:
