AM radio first hit the Japanese airwaves in 1925, heralding a new era of communication. It quickly became a household staple, offering a wide range of programming from historical broadcasts like Emperor Hirohito's 1945 surrender speech to the vibrant youth culture shows of the 1960s.

But the tale doesn't end there. In a bid to bridge the airwaves between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, an auxiliary transmitter with 230 watts emerged, synchronizing both KOB stations on the resonant frequency of 770 kHz. Together, they orchestrated a symphony of sound that echoed across the New Mexican horizon.
