Was, and still is - KYCY 1550, aka "K-YOU Radio."

Hasn't failed yet, unlike the AM station in San Luis Obispo that 
Harold sent me a tape of probably 15 years ago - remember that one, 
Harold? All classified ads, all the time, with listeners calling a 
900 number to record their ad for airplay? I think I still have the 
tape, moldering away in the closet here somewhere. How long did that 
last - a year, if even that?

(And yes, I'm well aware that McLendon did it first, at KADS in Los 
Angeles circa 1967!)
