Magic Mist: My First Shift On KFRC

San Francisco’s Last Top 40 Disc Jockey is the memoir of longtime programmer, air talent and educator Don Sainte-Johnn, whose extensive career included hosting the last top 40 airshift on RKO’s legendary AM Top 40 powerhouse KFRC. Sainte-Johnn came to San Francisco as PD of Oldies KFRC-FM (K106), now Hip-Hop/R&B KMEL. In 1975, PD Michael Spears, prompted by hearing an aircheck of St. Johnn on R&B WJPC Chicago, asked him to cover for an ailing weekender, beginning his journey to first African American host of a daytime shift on the station. Here’s an excerpt from Sainte-Johnn about his first shift on KFRC.
