    On the KMEN chart, I see
    EVERYBODY KNOWS by DC5.
    It's more like EVERYBODY KNOWS
    (I still love you).

    Later on in late 1967 they would
    have another midsize hit with
    EVERYBODY KNOWS. This is totally
    a different song than the one
    charting here in FALL 64.
    This is the only group I know of
    that had 2 chart hits with the
    same title but are 2 different
    songs. Totally different.
    Now this one I loved dearly.
    The words caught me the first
    time. I would play it over and
    over. I related to the heartbreak
    they sang about. Now you know my taste.

    By the way, October 1 marks
    the 1st Anniversary of KFXM
    moving to the Holiday INN.
    Poolside, as they loved to say.

    Towers are still there, the building
    is still there. It's storage for
    somebody now. Sad sight to see as
    I transition southbound through the 215/10 interchange and glance over for
    a quick peek between the buildings. Sad yet a comfort to
    remember what a great station it
    was.
    Good old 666 FAIRWAY DRIVE in
    Berdoo.

    indeed, the relocated KFXM/KDUO-FM studios and business office at the then-newly built Holiday Inn were a crowning monument to the Tullis and Hearne broadcasting empire. "Broadcast City" was, is and remains the classic 1960's radio station showcase for the revitalized Tiger Radio format which would sweep KFXM into ratings history under Al Anthony's creative stewardship.
    BTW: just a couple months before the new facilities were ready at "Broadcast City", another legendary local business had also recently opened a venue on Del Rosa Avenue in eastern San Bernardino, that being the then- newest "Taco Tia" restaurant -- which has been regularly advertised on KFXM's (also recently reformatted) "Tiger Tune Sheet". how ironic that 45 year later, only Taco Tia has survived (at that same original location) while the famed KFXM/KDUO-FM grand broadcasting centre is gone forever!
