Besides Huggy Boy, KTYM, which I believe was at 1580 kilocycles on the AM band, carried a lot of right-wing and conservative programming. These included "Verite," a fifteen-minute broadcast from announcer Ron Wright, which followed the John Birch Society's party line, "Richard Cotton's Conservative Viewpoint, which was hard-hitting and occasionally Judeophobic, the Reverend Carl McIntire, a Presbyterian minister who led rallies calling for victory in Vietnam, and Lifelines, a conservative broadcast backed by Texas oil zillionaire H. L. Hunt and narrated by Melvin Munn. At the time, I was at Occidental College--on the slopes of Fiji Hill.
In December, 1970, i made a pilgrimage to East LA to visit Hollywood Discount Records, which carried a lot of oldies and doo wop. This was ground zero for the "Chicano Moritorium" riot of August, 1970--the Silver Dollar bar, where journalist Ruben Salazar was shot and killed during the riot, was practically across the street. Nonetheless, the store lived up to its reputation, and I left with an armload of sound discs.
Man,your knowledge is off the hook!
Your Birch Society reference tickled me.I used to "kick it"with them back in the 1965-66 era.In fact,one of the Southern California Chapter leaders used to hold court with me in his palatial Lake Tahoe vacation home and regale me with stories about how"the niggers"were going to burn Pasadena to the ground July Fourth!
Back then I was seeking some cool conservatives to hang out with but the racism and anti-Semitism was stifling!Got into libertarain-anarchist Karl Hess for a while later.Now,I don't join groups.
Or at least found one I was totally comfortable with.
