Dedication

This site is a tribute to all the former DJs, program directors, engineers, account executives and all employees of this all-time great and legendary Southern California radio station.

There are scores of people who have put forth their drive, determination and talent to make KFXM what it was -- from the 50s through the 80s!

We proudly say that many of the "KFXM-Squad" from those four decades have gone on to achieve incredible  success in their other professional pursuits -- some in broadcasting, some in other areas. We are all very proud of our history at KFXM and KDUO -- and those who made it happen.  These pages are dedicated to them all!
