  3. Well, the accessories are nice. I don't think they'd stay on very long, though.
     
  4. If he did, George must have had the wrong mushrooms in his omelet that morning!:eek::D

    Beautiful, I like the "donkey dicks" on the rear fenders. Good idea.

    Gosh, I remember listening to K-Earth 101 when I lived in So. California 50 Years ago. Seeing this really jogged some memories.

    Hey Finn,
    We all listened to that station on our AM radios, portable or in the car. It was a fun time for all of us back then. There have been a lot of changes since those days. The station is still going strong, adapting to those songs and following. If I get the nostalgia mood and the car station is handy, I will listen to some songs. Although, I would rather listen to the car accelerate or just drive in a quiet state.

    But, I guess as young people, we did not care about the ton of commercials between songs. That gets so irritating that I have to hook up my Ipod to listen to music commercial free.

    “KRTH signed on August 11, 1941 as the first FM station in Los Angeles, and the oldest continually operating FM station in California.

    After World War II, when the FCC mandated the 88-108 Mc. range, the station was moved to 99.7 Mc., and the call letters were changed to KHJ-FM, after its then-sister AM station KHJ. In 1948, KHJ-FM moved yet again to its current broadcast frequency of 101.1 FM, eventually relocating its transmitter to Mount Wilson.

    In 1965, when KHJ switched to top-40 format "Boss Radio", they simulcasted on KHJ-FM. From 1968-70, KHJ-FM aired Drake-Chenault's "Hit Parade" format, an automated mix of oldies and current hits. In 1971, the station carried another Drake-Chenault top-40 format, "Solid Gold Rock And Roll."

    In 1972, there was a switch to what was then called a "gold" format, featuring older hit songs from the past. At the time, this was a novel idea since most stations played current music, with a few older songs mixed in. With the switch in format came a new moniker, "K-Earth," which was named after the first "Earth Day" which had debuted to much fanfare two years before. The call letters were thus switched to KRTH.


    The "K-Earth 101" jingle was also introduced at this time. It directly echoed the sound and notes of the jingle from KHJ-AM, the station where many of these "gold" songs had originally been played. (KHJ-AM was still on the air at this point, but was playing current Top 40 songs.)

    During the 1970s and early 1980s, K-Earth vacillated between this "gold" format and an adult contemporary format. Current music was played to varying degrees throughout this period, though the focus was almost always on the past.


    In 1985, K-Earth shifted to what was becoming known as an "oldies" format, adopting the motto "Classic Rock and Roll."

    By early 2016, KRTH began adding songs from the 1990s into their playlist.”
