Ken Knox - KLIF Dallas - Wednesday, January 4, 1961

Here's KLIF 1190 in happier times, with Ken Knox at the helm. K-L-I-F Dial a Mink time, a Wednesday-type-morning, 1961!

KLIF 1190 was the Gordon McLendon station in Dallas, competing at the time of this recording with crosstown KBOX for Top 40 supremecy. Note, Top 40, not Rock and Roll. The music on the charts this day is very, very diverse, ranging from Lawrence Welk to The Drifters to Johnny Horton.

This recording features a KLIF newscast, called K-L-I-F JetStream News. (Listen for the blurb about the U.S. keeping their base on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "no matter what happens.")
