Anyone listen, 2day? Told my father about it 'cause he was a fan from back in the day. He was kinda disappointed.
Anyone know why Paraquat Kelly wasn't around? The guy was mentioned. |

Not this So Cal dude. My hair was never long (especially in the mid to late seventies, when I was property of the Misguided Children), you'll NEVER catch me in horizontal stripes, and I've never been one to wear mirrored sunglasses.

From the Lee G collection |
75 Chevy Monza 2+2
It is Fairfax. ..or at least I am 98% certain
said by Bloominite  :said by CurtesyFlush :Who's "Dude"? looks like a late 70s Everyman to me I was looking for a KMET logo which as I recalled had some rat in sunglasses, beard or/and cane or something. Perhaps it was another stations logo. I came upon this picture and yes, I too said this is everyman's mid/late '70 kinda' SoCal Dude.
Edit: I'm gonna give credit and Props to the source. A guy named Lee G, looks like a Lakewood or Artisia High '73/'74 or so grad. Plus he has quite a photo collection here, including the one above. |

Pretty sure it's a Chevy Nonza. They all look alike to me so I'm guessing a '76?
The street? A wild stab at Fairfax?

Ahhhh.....A little bit of heaven 94.7 KMET.
Man I remember those days, I could pick it up down here in certain areas of San Diego.
It was one of my favorite channels along with KLOS. |

Wow... a lot of good memories *sniff*
A friend went to KMET that last day to picket the closing. He turned out to be the only one there. I think it was covered briefly on the news.
[trivia]
The Roger Waters album Radio K.A.O.S. features some recorded bits from 94.7 KMET-FM (surf report, fish report with a beat, etc.) in the background, and the voices of Jim Ladd and others from KMET.
Jim Ladd wrote a book, titled Radio Waves, about a fictional radio station called Radio KAOS (really about the history of L.A.'s Mighty Met in it's heyday.) The first track on that Roger Waters album is also titled Radio Waves.
The callsign KMET is now owned by Sunset Broadcasting with an AM station in Banning, CA on 1490kHz. While that station is licensed for 5kw I think they cut back to 1 or 2 kw at night since I couldn't pick them up very far. |

Sweet...the Mighty Met.
I heard Jim Ladd (arguably one of the best) mention this gathering just a couple hours ago. It's good to get the full scoop.
[Edit: KMET is also an AM station in Banning. They too use the "Mighty Met" tag line :-( ]
