1560 AM KEGG was a Country station (at least when this sticker was printed) from Daingerfield, Texas. After reading the little bit of history I could find on this station, it seems they've had quite a few formats over the years and a fair amount of poor ownership. If this bulletin board post can be believed, in 1994 they switched to Urban yet, amazingly, carried Rush Limbaugh in the afternoon. 1560 AM is currently a Country Gospel station, "King Country Radio" KNGR. This jumbo sticker measures a whopping 15" across.
I worked here as a DJ in 1982. Did you know that this little station was once owned by Doc Sevrenson of The Tonight Show?

ReplyDeleteI have recorded interviews of them talking about a teen club. Does anyone have any idea what this was about?
My uncle Gene "Geno" Walker was the DJ at KEGG Radio in the early '70s when it had a Rock Music Format. I went to Kilgore Junior College in '75. They built a radio station in the Liberal Arts Building. I took the courses so my uncle and I could work together. I went to work in the steel industry instead.
ReplyDeleteI did Sunday mornings at KEGG in the fall of 78 through early summer of 79.
