KFOG KEEPS ON ROCKIN'

It all started Sept. 16, 1982, with "Rock This Town" by The Stray Cats.

Twenty-five years later, San Francisco-based KFOG is still rockin' -- and it's one of the best commercial FM rock stations in the country.

The industry refers to KFOG's eclectic format as Triple A, which stands for "adult album alternative." KFOG is a commercial station, though, so it rarely gets too indulgent or esoteric.

For example, morning host Dave Morey played songs today (Sept. 19) by the Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Luscious Jackson, Peter Bjorn and John, Ten Years After, Split Enz and the Kooks.

In most other radio markets, those songs and artists would be scattered across two or even three different FM stations.

KFOG's specialty shows include the "10 @ 10" (10 songs from one year, at 10 a.m. PT and 10 p.m. PT weekdays), "Acoustic Sunrise" (7 a.m. to noon PT Sundays) and "Acoustic Sunset" (6 to 8 p.m. PT Sundays).

Some radio station slogans are ridiculous and untrue -- KFOG's "World Class Rock" is not.
