If you were tuned into KMPX (MultiPleX) FM in 1967 between 8 pm and midnight you would have been listening to the beginning of underground rock FM radio. Programming was the brain child of KYA AMs Tom Donahue which was limited to the few rock LPs that were available at the time. The uniqness came from most of the tunes on each of those albums was eventually played which spawned listener feedback and the success of the album over the A and B sided 45s.
Long before the San Francisco rock scene Pat Henery's massive collection could be heard on KJAZ broadcasting from a non discrpt second floor studio on Webster in Alameda. KJAZ was successful thanks to a few long time sponcers and a well rooted listenership.
The Bay Area has a rich radio history that has sadly succumb to the American monopolistic business model. The island in the airwaves is Spanish speaking radio.
