The History of KHJ AM
Q: What was Bill Drake's approach to building a hit radio format in the 1960s?

Hosts discuss using calls to action like placing orders by phone, visiting the website, or obtaining a free catalog, often with discounts and tracking to measure effectiveness.

Q: Tim, what are your memories of the Love Format as you heard it living in Minneapolis back in the day?
