WGKV Owner

[RogerCG]

It will take an older person to answer this. Does anybody remember the owner of WGKV in 1964? I was a DJ then and worked first at the mountain --then inside the window that fronted Quarrier Street. He was always nattily dressed and was virtually never without a hat. He was a difficult guy, but I liked him. Hello also to anyone out there who remembers me or worked with me at WGKV, WKAZ or WCAW. I'm now on the air on a group of stations in AZ, NV, and CA. Roger Galloway

Hey Roger, long time no hear. I cant remember who the owner was at the time as I didn't work there until the early 70s. (see page here) http://www.mywvhome.com/rock.htm

Anyway, good to hear from you again.
