FYI: by 1969, KFXM was still using C.E. Hooper and Pulse Inc. for their audience assessment, and i assumed KMEN did the same; and so, the grand history of San Bernardino's pop music radio competitors gets another important academic footnote...<br />anyway, Johnny, so WHAT 'schtick' did you perform on your shows which culminated in all those perfumed mailings you received???<br /><br />POSTSCRIPTUS: checking my radio files documentation, i confirmed that, in 1972, KMEN WAS back to utilising Pulse for their ratings services along with American Research Bureau's more comprehensive audience measurement methodology.Lord Darth Rageoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504572362460384765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-70046935213425038752009-09-28T14:53:18.978-07:002009-09-28T14:53:18.978-07:00F.Y.I.

It turned into a contest....and lasted for a few weeks. I got tons, Tom got some. In the end, it was NO contest. The Helmsman won....easily!<br />Johnny Helm<br />P.S. In this period was my biggst rating ever....a 21.5! (If I remember correctly, KFXM pulled a six against me.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
