Radio Highlights for Tucson, December 5 & 6, 1941

...the last days before The War (for the U.S.A., anyway)...

Sources: Tucson Observer and Arizona Daily Star




STATIONS LISTED

550 KOY Phoenix (CBS)

610 KFRC San Francisco (Mutual)

620 KTAR Phoenix (NBC opt)

630 KVOD Denver (NBC Blue)

640 KFI Los Angeles (NBC Red)

680 KPO San Francisco (NBC Blue)

790 KECA Los Angeles (NBC Blue)

810 KGO San Francisco (NBC Blue)

820 WBAP Ft. Worth (NBC opt)

820 WFAA Dallas (NBC opt)

850 KOA Denver (NBC Red)

930 KHJ Los Angeles (Mutual)

1030 KOB Albuquerque (NBC opt)

1070 KNX Los Angeles (CBS)

1080 KRLD Dallas (CBS)

1160 KSL Salt Lake City (CBS)

1200 WOAI San Antonio (NBC opt)

1290 KVOA Tucson (NBC opt)

1400 KTUC Tucson (CBS)

Both newspapers used the designation “NBC-opt” to describe the affiliations of KTAR, WBAP, WFAA, KOB, WOAI and KVOA; by this, I’m assuming that these stations had the option of choosing programming from either Red or Blue. Both papers also listed KPO and KGO as above, with both stations affiliated with NBC Blue; in actuality, KPO was the Red Network affiliate for the Bay Area.
