  1. As I recall, I think it was either
    10/25 or 10/28 when the jocks at
    KFXM walked out starting the
    infamous AFTRA strike at the
    2 stations (KDUO).

    They were quickly replaced at
    KFXM
    by the infamous JONES BOYS.
    Al Anthony had a desire long
    before that to have a theme
    of Jocks. He got his chance during
    the strike.
    The strike went into the Spring
    of 69 and subsided by May.
    Only a few returned (Jim Conniff,
    J Bruce, Don MCcoy (who didn't participate on the picket line). AFTRA lost the strike.
    Nothing was gained. Owners won
    out and Al Anthony was one
    exhausted manager and glad it
    was over. The station was never
    the same again.

    That's my recollection. Anyone else have details or corrections??
