Are we talking about The Fabulous 690?

I heard Clear Channel sold this station to a spanish language program this week. Escuadras!

690 was once "The Mighty 690" - a top 40 station which transmitted from Tijuana and was notorious for playing hit singles at increased rpms to squeeze in more commercials. (This practice was later perfected by FM TenQ.)

AM 690 is now playing standards, and 570 has flipped to a talk format.

1260 used to play standards, but have relaunched as Oldies 1260, and play a pretty good songlist.

I don't know whatever happened to Humble Harv. Charlie Tuna and Bobby Ocean are still around.

The Boss era officially ended in the late 90s when Robert W. Morgan and the Real Don Steele (my all-time favorite DJ) passed away within months of each other.

If RDS were still around, tomorrow he would let loose with a wild, rambling, anything goes Fractious Friday signoff, and ask the perennial question:

What do we know and believe?
