RKO's Digs At TKK

[Jim Hall]

I remember that too. It was Bill Drake who voiced the station ID on that
jingle. "Stereooo...98 point 5. Doubleyoo Rrrrr OH Rrrr....Boston. The
wrko.org tribute site says the change was in October 1968. They used to have
the stereo "hit parade" WROR jingle on there but it seems to be gone now. I
used to listen to WRKO-FM at the time (I was in college), and suddenly they
started to go off the air at midnight. I wrote the GM and said how much I
missed listening at night, and he told me it was so that they could install
stereo equipment and that they would be back soon with new call letters but
the same music only in stereo.

This doesn't sound right.  I distinctly remember the jingle "Hit 
Parade Sixty-Eight" on WROR, which became Hit Parade Sixty-Nine" on 
News Years.
