San Francisco, California has always been a unique market. As the #4 market in the country, and the place where innovation was epitomized by the alternative formats of the 1970s.

San Francisco radio is another of those markets with many interesting stories. We especially appreciate the help from John Schneider in offering much of the history that he truly built into a true archive of information. We invite you to visit, enjoy, even share some history with us.
