Who else is among the hits on this KFXM chart the first week of 1980?
Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Ciff Richard, Dionne Warwick, Neil Diamond
These guys have been around for a long time.
But there is also:
Donna Summer, Daryl Hall & John Oates, The Eagles, ELO, Cheap Trick
Not anything more than advertising on the back of the survey. But soon we'll have the DJ lineup.
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.
ReplyDeleteBut 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!
ReplyDeleteYes, do appreciate the
ReplyDeletesurveys.
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
ReplyDeleteAM 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???
