What radio programs or stations were your favorites?

Finally an easy question. I can only choose from one because that was the only station we could get in Duchesne or the Uintah basin for many years. It was KOMA out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Apparently the signal “skip” from back there was just perfect for the Uintah Basin. The main thing that I remember listening to also was the Dodgers baseball games. KOMA for some reason was the station that transmitted all of their games across the nation. I can’t remember listening to much else even though I most likely did since I eventually had a collection of 3 or 4 old radios that sat up in our attic for years. I was going to have a room of antiques but eventually was forced to get rid of them so the only one I got to keep was the big Zenith radio that we used in the barn to play music while we milked the cows and washed the milking tools. We even tuned into Greenwich time clock with it and listened to the tick tock of the station which is all it did except on the minute when it would say the time. Now that was fun only because of the novelty of being able to do it due to the age and bandwidth selectors of that radio and the fact that the signal from there must have also had the perfect skip.
