KCHO Sunday Nite
 |
KCHO Sunday Nite premiered in the fall of 1986 as a tip of the hat to the older era of radio that I remembered as a youth. This show was a combination of jazz, comedy, radio drama, science fiction, studio guests, and live jazz performances all produced from within the confines of our small Studio B in the basement of the CSU, Chico Merriam Library. |
December 6, 1987 - "An Evening of Xmas Jazz"
Ever since I first heard Herb Wong host Christmas Day on KJAZ, I knew that Christmas was one of the hippest
times of the year. While we did not have the KJAZ library to pull from, I always thought everyone deserved a swinging yuletide celebration.
The surviving recording captured 2:33:12 of this evening's show from 9:02pm until 11:35pm.
