The very first Black music programming on 103.9-FM, Los Angeles, was in 1961. In those days FM was in its infancy and most people did not have FM in their autos. When Al Williams's KTYM AM was purchased the KTYM-FM was thrown in for free.
The very first Black Operations Manager on Los Angeles FM was Charles (Chuck) Johnson and the very first Black Program Director was Lonnie Cook, they constituted the only paid staff. The broadcast was on from sunset to midnight after a switchover from daytime programming. The station airtime was brokered with the exception of the shows hosted by these two. Cook hailed from Kansas City, Kansas, and Johnson had been a celebrated DJ at KPRS Kansas City, MO.
