KPEN, under the ownership of James Gabbert, changed its
call letters to KIOI in December 1968 to reflect its position at 101.3
MHz on the FM dial; Mr. Gabbert, along with Gary Gielow and John Wickett,
had founded the station in 1957.
It's 1963 on the final broadcast by Gary Taylor from the
K-101 Time Machine, recorded for posterity in the Ultimate
Radio Bootleg LP series (Volume VI). Note the use of a
classic Drake/Johnny Mann "San Francisco Weather" jingle,
lifted from KFRC, about four minutes into the recording.
A simulcast of K-101 programming on co-owned
KNEW.
