It
was the month of May 1959 when the soothing sounds of
KABL Music first echoed
throughout the Bay Area. KABL, named for San Francisco's
cable cars, was a bold departure from other radio
stations of that era.
KABL serenaded San Francisco with lush,
beautiful music, very few
commercials, and rich-voiced announcers who wooed the
Bay Area with poetic paeans. This gentle KABL sound soon
swept the area.
Listeners responded to its
elegant charm and
sophisticated whimsy. In
fact, the impact was so great that KABL became a
hallmark of Bay Area radio. You can read more about the
origins of this beloved station in Don Keyes' wonderful
memoir, "The
Miracle By the Bay...KABL."
Now, through the magic of modern technology, we are
bringing back fifty years of KABL
Music — from 101 Strings
to Sinatra, from
Mantovani to
Dean Martin, from the best
of the big bands to Tony Bennett, it's
America's Best Music! |

Now featuring BIG BAND JUMP,
hosted by Don Kennedy, every Saturday and Sunday
afternoon from 1 to 3 PM (Pacific) on the home of America's Best
Music — KABL!
PLUS
— Tune in to The Don Kennedy Show for two hours of
great sounds,

The Voice of
KABL Radio is none other than the
legendary Bill Moen,
who spent more than thirty years on the air
on the station. One of the original
inductees into the
Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame, Bill
"retired" to Clear Lake, only to find
himself back on the air at
KXBX/1270 in Lakeport. We are deeply
indebted to Bill for helping us to bring the
great sound of KABL
Music to you once again!
