Last fall, I recorded a promotional Sonic ID to run during KUT-FM’s fiftieth-anniversary membership drive. Because it was for the membership drive, I dug up one of my memories from the very first drives, in the middle 1970s. (I’m the only one left from that time, save for one host who’s been there since 1966.) My Sonic ID proved to be a popular one, and is now in regular play rotation at the station, and people regularly tell both L and me “Oh, I heard Sam’s story on KUT!” to the point that I had to get the producer to send me a copy of it so L, who hadn’t heard it, could find out what the commotion was about.
So now, for your enjoyment, I present my story of KUT’s first pledge drives and the Taco Bell Cannon.
The disk jockeys ride in the radio rodeo. Fnord.
