It was May 1, 1958, when San
Francisco's original 1260/KYA first burst on the
Bay Area scene with the
greatest Top 40 music
played anywhere. Over the next quarter century, popular
personalities like Emperor Gene Nelson, Russ "The Moose"
Syracuse, "Big Daddy" Tom Donahue, Johnny Holliday, Tom Campbell, Chris Edwards,
Bwana Johnny, Mike Cleary, Gary Shaffer and Ed Hider and
helped elevate the original
1260 KYA to legendary status.
Now, Gary Mora's CLASSIC 1260
KYA RADIO returns as your personal time
machine, taking you back to the 1960s and 1970s (and
even the 1950s!) with your favorite
Golden Gate Greats and memories of cruising with
your buddies, diggin' a drive-in movie on Friday night,
checking out the funny cars at Fremont Drag Strip on
Saturday, hanging out at Golden Gate Park, heading over
to Playland At The Beach and all the things you loved
about being a kid ... without the homework!
Remember way back when you could hear
real music on your radio? Remember when you could
get the feeling of being someplace
magical simply by tuning in to a great radio
station? Those days have returned with
