The original KWSS staff and management team,
photographed at the El Paseo de Saratoga shopping center in January
1983, shortly after taking over control of the station. (It had been the
world-famous KFAT 94½ prior to coming under new
ownership.)
Jim Duncan, who served as chief engineer at both KFAT and
KWSS, provided this photograph, which includes general manager Palmer
Pyle (second from left, in baseball cap), program director Dave Van
Stone (sixth from left, next to the woman on the W), morning duo
Bill Kelly and Al Kline (peeking through the S's), receptionist
Shirley Sanchez (second from right) and sales manager Dayton Philips.
The station became KUFX ("K-Fox") on March 4, 1991, and
is currently KBAY.
