KRDR

1230 AM in Gresham, Oregon signed on the air on September 28, 1956 as KGRO.  In June of 1963 they changed call letters to KRDR and that summer became the Northwest's first 24 hour Country & Western station.  A foray into Top-40 took place in the late 1960s but they switched back to Country in 1971.  The KRDR calls went away in 1988 when they became KKGR.  1230 AM currently carries a Spanish Religious format as KRYN.

I remember KRDR back in the 60's. They'd play top-40 during the evening and I listened to it every day!
