The Doors, "This is the End" was, I think, the longest song on the airwaves at the time. It was, in fact, the last song played on KBLA-AM, the first alternative radio station in L.A., preceding KMET & KPPC etc. As an AM they had stricter FCC rules and they didn't last long in the format, switching to C&W in 1967. We all loved that station, mourned its passing and I remember it still after 44 years.

He subsequently took over programming for a foreign-language station KMPX and changed it into what is considered to be America's first alternative "free-form" radio station. The station played album tracks chosen by the DJs on the largely ignored FM band. This one move introduced progressive radio to the U.S."willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929216211968531577.post-89468811004581465372014-09-03T15:32:37.025-04:002014-09-03T15:32:37.025-04:00Foxy, just off the phone with my first radio sales...Foxy, just off the phone with my first radio sales manager. He really set me on the right path. We worked for Group W Westinghouse & they were a GREAT company. First radio station to receive a license, in 1921, was KDKA Pittsburgh, owned by Westinghouse.
