"KJR Seattle Channel 95."

Longtime Seattleites can still hear that jingle in their minds, if they were rock 'n' roll fans in the 1960s. That's when KJR was the local rock powerhouse, with national influence. If top jock Pat O'Day latched onto a song, program directors across the nation took notice, because O'Day had great ears. For instance, he is believed to be the first disc jockey in the United States to play the Beatles.

Relive those glory days of Seattle radio from 1 to 6 p.m. Friday, July 4, when XM Satellite radio Disc Jockey Terry Young will play music featured on KJR in the '60s, along with original station breaks, jingles, commercials and DJ patter.

The show will feature a call-in segment from listeners in the Seattle area, sharing their memories about KJR and its memorable jocks, like Lan Roberts, Larry Lujack and Dick Curtis.

Not an XM subscriber? No problem. You can tune-in online via a free, three-day trial at listen.xmradio.com. If you are an XM subscriber, turn the dial to Channel 6 and bask in the memories.

Ah, Seattle radio...the best thing out there next to Vancouver radio.  

Too bad I don't get XM, or I might have tuned in during the KJR show.
