Seriously??

KOIT was once a great radio station. Along with KGO, it dominated the San Francisco market for decades.
It didn’t become great, and remain great, accidently; no radio station’s greatness is ever an accident.
Chuck Tweedle, the long-time Vice President and General Manager for Bonneville, nurtured KOIT as if it belonged to him personally. You don’t see that much anymore.
Allan Hotlen, and after he left, Bill Conway, knew that the smallest details made a difference, that the image of the brand was affected by every impression.
The imaging, which I understand was written by Dan Vallie, was about the best I’ve ever heard on a SOFT AC station.
KOIT understood the value of emotional connection long before most. It was the Tiffany of San Francisco radio.
Ahhh, but that was all under the ownership of Bonneville.
Times have obviously changed.
