Featured Survey / MARCH 1973:
Sometimes a cartoon is just--joyfully amusing and creative--but some are a peek behind the curtain, as is the case with this month's Featured Radio Survey. KSTN/Stockton, California, showed its humorous side with a dose of realism in its March 9, 1973, survey cartoon. DJ Chuck Cannon's '70s hippie style is paired with a peek behind the mic. Was he really that messy? Enjoy the artsy antics, along with their vintage Top 40 and Rock On ... 50 Years Ago this Month ... Enjoy the Moment Again!
