DENIS, Anyone?


MARK DENIS joined KGB in October 1966 from KMEN in San Bernardino, replacing Steve Jay in the KGB jock roster, after Mr. Jay went to KFRC in San Francisco. His trademark phrase between records was, "Denis, anyone?"

Weekly VAULT Image: KGBS, 1968




In 1968, KGBS (Lynwood) dumped their Country format for a "chicken rock" pop format, featuring low key voices such as BRAD EDWARDS (fresh from the I.E. KMEN & KFXM...pictured) and Dick Lyons.
Also pictured is a Los Angeles newspaper advertisement heralding the new KGBS format....never reprinted anywhere...until here now.

Britney's Bikini

Our (almost) all-male team here at WRWB2 all seem to have no problem w/ radio favorite Britney Spears' latest "bikini."

The Senior Man

From 1963 thru 1968, BILL WADE kept San Diego housewives company from Noon to 4pm, throughout all the San Diego suburbs.....PB, OB, Allied Gardens, Del Cerro, La Jolla, El Cajon, Lemon Grove, Point Loma, Mission Valley, National City, Chula Vista, Santee, Logan Heights, Hillcrest, Normal Heights, Grantville, Kearny Mesa, Clairemont, and.....YES, (drum roll) whether SOME READERS HERE like it or not....Oak Park, too!


During those years, the San Diego suburb of Oak Park was home to a huge, popular Fedco store (kind of like Costco today), a De Falco's market, and was a decent suburb to live in.
Oak Park Elementary School still exists, and has won some educational awards over the past few years, too.
Our editor spent a lot of time in Oak Park as a teenager with family near that 'hood, so he should know!
