[Westside]

Back before satellite TV. Back before the internet. Back before satellite radio there was this thing called AM radio. I remember as a kid lying in the bed at night with my trusty transistor radio by my side listening to the lastest rock and roll hits all come to life with colorful introductions coming from a personality then known as a Disc Jockey. Most of the popular stations were your everyday ho-hum mild mannered local radio stations that broadcast the news, had talk programs, yada, yada yada. BUT when the sun went down they cranked up their wattage and became rock and roll super stations that could be heard all across the continental United States. You could even listen to your favorite baseball team playing from all the way across the United States be it the Midwest, the East Coast or if you caught it just right the West Coast. Just came in off the road and was listening to SIRIUS 60's radio and it made me remember the good old days of the late 60's and early 70's. Just wondering if anyone else can remember any of these Groovy old stations.:biggrin:

Some of my favorites were WCFL out of Chicago, CKLW out of Windsor, Canada and WOWO out of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I know Hoot Gibson will be able to contribute to this thread and anxiously await his comments. Again anyone else?

I remember when I was little my Mom and Dad's truck only had am radio. We'd listen to Zippo in the morning on WOWO radio.

Also, a few years (about 6 or 7), I'd listen to an am station out of Cincinnati. It was some kid of truckers radio show.
