KSPO SPOTS FROM THE MID-1970'S

Misty Lane provided several clips of spots that played on KSPO in the mid-1970's.

RARE KKER AIR CHECK

Thanks to Jerry Anderson, we have the following air check for KKER's last hour of broadcast on 22 February, 1984 7:00 to 8:00 AM. Jerry notes that the station had signed off officially the day before at 4:00 PM, but "Pam Larsen, Sam Lawson, Johnny "O", and Ken Jacobsen came in the following morning, signed on for this hour and told people what was going on." Enjoy!
