KRTH K-Earth 101 Jingles and Sweepers (Version 2.0)

Well folks, I'm back! For those of you who reside within Los Angeles or Orange County here in California, consider this your belated Christmas gift. It's another montage of jingles and sweepers from K-Earth 101 from 2001 and 2002, when they mostly played oldies from the 50's to the 70's. Let the fun and memories begin! I will have a complete listing of songs played before or after these jingles. And of course, there will be plenty of Christmas songs thrown in the mix as well. Note: At around 2:55, during one of the songs you will hear a monkey screaming. That's because from February to April of 2002, they were doing a contest called King Kong Cash, where listeners had to listen for a "Money Monkey" to scream. When he screamed, people had to call a certain number to win $1000 cash. That monkey could scream at any time, whether during a commercial or while a song was playing.

Listening to these jingles and sweepers make me want to search for a wonderful, former job coach I had. Her name's Phyllis Durant. Before and after work, she would drive us around so she could turn to KRTH! Me and co-workers had lots of fun with her! In May 2004 sadly, we switched to another job coach. Since she isn't around, I just wish she lived about 5 houses down from us.

[@oldiesmusic76]

Back when KRTH was semi-decent. The repetition was high I remember, but beats today's programming by a ton!

[@trae2241]

Agreed.

[@blind_t2]

Fun fact, 3 of their cuts are sound-alikes to 3 classic packages. The cuts are from when Johnny Mann started adding in backing tracks to their cuts. The 1 before hey there lonely girl is one of them, originally did in the TM Airworks package. The other 2 are from TM’s alternative package. The demo’s on here, so you can listen for yourself. I believe they are cuts 1 and 3.

[@BlueDiamondGirl-kq6pi]

They had great music back then

[@trae2241]

Agreed!!

[@gabepizzo4780]

Morgan The 80s Kid 2020 they sure did! What a difference 20 years makes! Now K earth 101 is playing songs from the late 70s up to the early 2000’s I think?

Enjoying these clips! Upload more! Thank you!

@TheRenard10, whoever you are, glad you enjoyed this video! My first K-Earth montage, as well as this video, have reached over 1000 views! I'll try to upload more airchecks from this station. Have a blessed, safe and happy holiday season!

My favorite KRTH legal ID was the one they used from about 2006-2013 which was an updated version of the old KHJ brass and drums ID.

[@trae2241]

That time was great. The music was really good too K Earth at it's prime until around 2014.

[@trae2241]

Playing the 60s, 70s, AND the 80s now.

[@anthonyangelici2963]

Now it's 70's, 80's and 90's.

All I want to hear again is the K-Earth 101 station ID from 2015. :(

[@jimscott2050]

9:52 Oldies Radio KRTH

[@tymime]

They must have reduced the playlist by quite a lot later on, because I don't remember some of these songs playing at all. In fact, nearly all of the jingles aren't familiar to me either. They must have had the station running on automatic by the time I stopped listening around 15 years ago.

[@leafflavoredbleach2740]

THEY PLAYED CCR ?!?

[@trae2241]

They played all the great oldies back then. The greatest hits on Earth. I mean what they play today mostly 80s music is okay but it really isn't the same.

[@Naminski1a]

@@trae2241 Like Gloria by Laura Branigan.

[@asiaticbear9083]

who is the announcer voice on these? The guy who says "on oldies radio" and "from the entertainment capitol of the world"

[@NoBoundariesInSight2023]

Well, Asiatic Bear, that voice you hear in-between songs is none other than Charlie Van Dyke. There used to be another Charlie who worked there at K-Earth, his name was Charlie Tuna. But this announcer is Charlie Van Dyke. Got it?

[@kresblain]

@@NoBoundariesInSight2023 Van Dyke also had a short-lived morning show on K-Earth in the late '90s.

[@enriquearanda5845]

Does anyone know the name of the first song that plays? It's just the very last few seconds

[@NoBoundariesInSight2023]

Yes, the very first song that begins this video is called "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," recorded by the iconic 60's group "The Lovin' Spoonful." Then after the first voice-over or sweeper you'll hear a few seconds of "Bad Moon Risin'" by Creedence Clearwater Revival or CCR.

[@enriquearanda5845]

@@NoBoundariesInSight2023 I've had the jingle for You Didn't Have To Be So Nice stuck in my head for at least 20 years but I couldn't ever remember the lyrics so it couldn't figure it out! Thank you sir!
