KROQ Station IDs?

Postby Zod Wallop » Mon Jan 22, 2007 9:18 am

Anybody have any MP3s of the old john John Frost era KROW station IDs? I'm thinking of the 'So this is radio, huh?' or 'Quiet numbskulls, I'm broadcastin'!' ones.

I wish. I had a ton of old shows from the 80's on cassette but they were lost years ago.

I'd like some of the old KMET ID's too.

It's a big hodgepodge listing over <a href="http://www.bigappleairchecks.com/states/CaliHawaii.html" target="blank">HERE</a> but you probably have a good shot at finding someone who has those Airchecks.

I was a little too young for KMET. I didn't really start paying attention to music until '88 or '89 (Disintigration, baby!)
I was really hoping someone on here had some of the old KROQ ones so I could throw 'em into the mix on my iPod. Bless personal MP3 jukeboxes. My KROQ playlist is now at 1305 songs (just added David J's 'I'll Be Your Chauffeur'), but I've noticed I miss some of the old KROQ 'Personality'.
Guess I'll check that Big Apple Airchecks site...

That's the Three Stoogies saying this line from one of their sketch comedy shows...

There are many more I used to enjoy!

The lesson in Eucledian geomatry because the guy what's to know what time it is on earth, I think it's from "Twilight Zone?"

Dragnet bits... OK help, others I've missed, drawing a blank right now, Duh! [:0]

Some of my favorites! But they weren't all Dragnet. A lot came from the movie "The DI" (drill instructor)..."Who's that tapping on my timber?", "Why don't you come on outta that tree and talk to me?", "You are making me very angry!", etc.

God I WISH somebody had all those drop-ins. "Sam...FREEZE!"...was Ingrid Bergman saying "Sam" from Casablanca and the "Freeze!" from some cop show. Classic.

"Oh my god" from Captain Kirk making that exclamation after a transporter accident, usually in response to some explicit lyrics or something.

Of course, one of alltime best is from the Twilight Zone "To Serve Man" as their noontime check..."I asked you time it is! What time is it on Earth?!...On Earth it would be 12 noon." [I'm guessing GMT since they didn't specify [;)]]

"K - R - OH! - Q" where the "Oh" is this sorta woman's orgasmic thing. MAN I wish had some of these. I have a couple of airchecks at home like "It's happneing, totally hip" etc but that's it. I'd be hugely indebted if some former KROQ personality had a bunch of these! [:p][:X]

I knew the "Quiet numbskulls" was the Three Stooges. I actually downloaded that clip.

One of my favorites was one from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (of all places) "So this is radio land, huh? The infinite turtle? The waves through the ether fuzz roll on forever? Roooaaar!"

I also remember (but don't know where they're from) "You're just in time! My energy box is completely dead!" and "Is it tuned to my special frequency?" (I forgot the first line to that quote...)

That's from Barbarella starring Jane Fonda and is also where Duran Duran took their name.
