Who signed off with, "Bye, bye. Be good. Be careful. And most important of all, don't get caught in your neighbor's turnip patch."? Loved KYNO-130 and listened from 1962-1968. Les Turpin and Glenn Adams were my favorite DJs.

Don’t forget the shows produced by KYNO jocks at the Memorial Auditorium. One in particular was headlined by Paul Revere and the Raiders 62 or 63.
Then Rocky Morelli’s Mag 7 dances at the Rainbow Ballroom that advertised on KYNO and KMAK. Dick and DeeDee, The Ventures, The Righteous Brothers and more.

Big event in 1968 at the Crest Theater (anybody ever heard of that place?)

Call KY-NO when the Boss Jock tells you!

Play this YouTube for a great sound recording of the Johnny Scott show on February 10th, 1968. Listen to KYNO's "Solid Gold Sound" with many familiar commercials, including Al Radka and the 3 Stooges. I smiled when he announced the weather, "local dense fog so watch it" ... fog in Fresno, ya think?

Also, this show is from the "Million Dollar Weekend" where after every few songs he would hype the "Location X" game. Although the prize is $1,000 not one million. They did this many, many times over the years where a 15 second sound was played and you had to guess the location. It's hilarious to hear Johnny ask one listener that called in to carefully repeat the location as in she may have been the winner! The Fresno Bee printing press she states. But no, she was wrong.

Then there's the news where we hear of the latest Vietnam B52 saturation bombings. And finally, a big show is annouced at the Rainbow, its Buffalo Springfield, then the phrase: BLOWS YOUR MIND!

A short list of common KYNO tag lines include:

BOSS RADIO
BIG 13 ... GOLDEN
BOSS JOCKS
KYNO Number One ... GOLDEN
SOLID GOLD SOUND
KYNO 20/20 News

KIRV was pop, rock and album cuts back then. Studio was on Blackstone Ave. just north of Mckinley Ave.

Wasn’t KIRV 1510 active in the late 60’s for a few months? I had my grandfather’s 1938 Zenith radio (3’ tall) in my bedroom and I could get stations from L.A. to Stockton on good nights

The KYNO surveys are so classic. When I see one from the time that I was listening to KYNO every minute that I could, it sends me back to that very time. This survey is form December features JOSE FELICIANO in 1970. What a great year in Fresno that was!

RE: Frank Terry was the DJ who did the drum-a-thon.

Yep, I was there. I saw Frank Terry drumming away.

As the yearbook photographer at McLane, I shot this 1973 photo for the advertisements that ran in the back of the book. Wish I'd shot more of the interior! Includes DJ Mike Novac.
