Chris Edwards anchors the morning shift of 1260/KYA's
"Murderer's Row"-caliber lineup that includes Gary Schaffer (10 a.m.-2
p.m.), Johnny Holliday (2-6 p.m.), Tom Campbell (6-10 p.m.), Tommy
Saunders (10 p.m.-2 a.m.) and Russ Syracuse (2-6 a.m.) in the Summer of
1968.
On the 12-60 survey for this week, Donovan's "Hurdy
Gurdy Man" has displaced the Rolling Stones' "Jumping Jack Flash" in the
top slot, while acts running the gamut from Johnny Cash ("Folsom Prison
Blues"), James Brown ("Lickin' Stick"), Julie Driscoll ("This Wheel's On
Fire") and the Monkees ("It's Nice To Be With You") are able to find
spots among the top sixty local hits.
Chris Edwards moved on to K-101 following his run at
KYA, and later worked at the combined KSFO/KYA-FM. He segued into a
successful career behind the scenes in radio, working as an advertising
salesman for Clear Channel's cluster of San Francisco stations. In 2007,
after briefly repping for the transplanted KTRB (860 AM), he was hired
to market Classic Hits KFRC (106.9 FM).
On the flip
side of the survey is a promotion for the upcoming "KYA 1260 Drag
Festival" at Fremont Drag Strip.
