KKCY "The City"
"The City" was an ambitious effort to recreate the sound and the magic of KSAN in the '80s. Former KSAN program directors Tom Yates and Kate Hayes were in charge of programming. They put together a great crew which included; Alan Burton, Dan Carlisle, Mimi Chen, Dick Conte, Norman Davis, Susie Davis, "Al Dente", Rosemary Greyshock, Brook Jones, Michael Knight, Andy Lee, Dave McQueen, Lorraine Meyer, Marshall Phillips, and New York Vinnie. Although highly rated in San Francisco, out of town ratings were poor because of the station's weak signal. Financial problems forced the owners to sell the station in 1989 to James Gabbert, who changed the call letters to KOFY and set about destroying the station's eclectic format post haste.
