AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
Edition #1363 - September 7, 2025

MASON DIXON
KCBQ San Diego
September 24, 1977 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Joe Fazio)

In 1977 KCBQ was still a beacon of Top 40 radio excellence, but the end was near.

Named Columbia Broadcasting Quality after its network affiliation, KCBQ was a top-rated hit music for some 20 years after its launch in the late-'50s. The jocks were allowed to do literally anything they wanted to on air and they did. But with trend away from AM music formats to FM, "The Q" became an adult contemporary outlet in 1978.

Enjoy Mason Dixon on KCBQ from September 24, 1977 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of The Week.
