I enjoyed listening to the Jim Eason show in the afternoon on KGO he liked Rosemary Clooney she was on his show a few times
I have been a KGO listener for many years. It is wonderful to hear these broadcast legends again. I Les Crane and Ira Blue are missing, however. Are any recordings available of these two favorites?
The second entry in the list “Jim Eason on KGO (Undated; Circa 1970s):” is actually from no earlier than 1982. Two TV series are mentioned in the aircheck (Cheers and Family Ties) which did not start until 1982.
My apologies..that was the 2nd Jim Eason aircheck in the list. 5th overall.
Regarding that 2nd Jim Eason clip, Perfect Strangers was mentioned and that started late 1986. Same with L.A. Law and Crime Story which was mentioned as a brand new series. I think the clip is from very late 1986 or early 1987. Crocker Bank and Wells Fargo are mentioned in same commercial. They merged earlier in 1986 than when this show aired. I would post the date of the aircheck as 1986/1987 unless someone can do better.
Jim had a young Hispanic lady reading the Emergency Broadcast System alert ( I heard only once) on his show. Does anyone know how to find that?
Listened to KGO for years.
And by “Jim,” do you mean … Eason? Dunbar?
Holy Christ…..how KGO and the rest of talk radio has changed.
There was a time people looked forward to listening to the radio, nowadays people have to be poked, cattle prodded, coerced to not only listen but to pretend to like any talk audio that is presented to us whether on the radio or on the internet!
