KCBS/San Francisco Celebrates 100 Years
SAN FRANCISCO -- June 8, 2009: CBS Radio's all-News KCBS/San Francisco is gearing up to celebrate 100 years on the air. The station's first broadcast, as "San Jose Calling," was heard on June 11, 1909. The station later became KWQ and then KCBS.
The station's first broadcast aired from San Jose's Fairmont Plaza, and KCBS will return to San Jose on the 11th. Morning anchor Stan Bunger and midday anchor Rebecca Corral will broadcast the news at noon from the same spot where that first broadcast originated, on the corner of First and San Fernando.
The station will also give away tickets to see an exhibit on radio broadcasting inventor Doc Herrold at the Tech Museum of Innovation, KCBS Centennial T-shirts, and free pizzas.
