I think the mix of music is interesting: late '50s, into the '60s and up to the current music of the day. So many stations today fill such a narrow niche and play the same songs over and over...I counted one time where the same song had been played nearly twenty times in a day...and that applies to all genre' of stations, country, contemporary Christian, rock of all types, etc. KAAY played a more varied mix and was much more interesting.
There were Lawn Boy lawn mower commercials sprinkled all throughout the broadcast day, so I thought I'd post a photo of Tommy Riggs with an unknown lady listener, who won a Lawn Boy in a contest:

I worked at Ark State Police headquarters and KAAY was my "keep me awake" station when I worked midnight's. Colonel Scott would walk in sometimes in the middle of the night and hear the radio but never said a word. Governor Rockefeller's son was a regular in riding in the cars at night with the troopers. Good days and simple. Gone but not forgotten.
