Jesse's KFXM Stories

I would tell you all the stories about the times the mic was accidental left open and what went over the air was not meant for audiences to hear.  I would tell you about all the times spent in certain Holiday Inn rooms discussing the finer points of the human anatomy with the opposite sex. I would tell you about all the radio parties that took place when more that one girl  would show up thinking that she was the only girl friend of the DJ or DJs at the different events,or a unknown husband or boy friend would pop in unannounced. I would tell you how the station always seemed to push past and over the limits of the approved FCC power for KFXM.  I would tell you about money that was made conducting radio for the station and on the side (always legal of course). I would tell you about how other radio station events sometimes seemed to get sabotaged. I would tell you about these things and many more if I knew about any of these things during my time at the big 59!  Maybe it's just more KFXM lore and myth...hmhmhmhmhmhhmhmhm!  I'll  leave that up to your speculation.  I will say this.." 59 KFXM was one of the wildest, most exciting, fun, and professional radio experience in my 31 year entertainment career, Thank you Craig Powers for hiring me 'Jesse T'".
