KSTN 1420 Radio
Staff Promotional Photos
Undated

An undated series of photographs from Stockton's KSTN (1420 AM), presumed to be part of a homemade promotional package put together in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The captions for the photos are taken verbatim, with every ellipsis (...) in place, directly from the album pages.

Ellis Lind (KSTN)

Ellis Lind ... news editor and for ten years, Stockton's favorite early morning disc jockey. Smiling Ellis makes waking up in the morning a pleasure with his folksy reminders of time ... temperature and easy-to-listen-to music. His on-the-go news stories range from the human interest to the human tragedy ... but wherever he goes ... everybody knows, listens to and likes ... Ellis Lind.

Dr. Robert Hufman (KSTN)

Dr. Robert Hufman ... Ph.D. from Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Dr. Bob, with practical news experience on several newspapers ... journalism adviser at Stockton College ... gives KSTN listeners news coverage deluxe.

Jim Condrey (KSTN)

Jim Condrey ... veteran disc jockey Jim takes over where Ellis Lind stops ... 9 A.M. 'til 12 noon ... and the morning is full of music and fun when he puts his 13 years of air experience to work selling KSTN sponsors to Stockton.

Jay Jones ... for seven years another familiar voice of KSTN ... 12 to 3 P.M. Monday thru Saturday. Jay's the boy that plays the music and plays it so good! A hard hitting air salesman and a hard hitting sales promotion and music director.

Glenn Rinker (KSTN)

Glenn Rinker ... KSTN Super Salesman ... delivers the 5:50 P.M. news. Backed by 12 years experience in radio management, sales and promotion ... Glenn promotes products in deluxe style for KSTN.

Coy Baker (KSTN)

Coy Baker ... Western disc jockey and super salesman ... one of the best known names in San Joaquin County ... heard on KSTN Monday through Friday 7-8 P.M., Saturdays 6-8 P.M. and Sunday morning from 9-10 A.M. Coy has two recordings to his credit ... a series of live half hour T.V. shows and seven years of making music as a disc jockey to keep him "selling" KSTN to Stockton listeners.


NOTE ON PHOTOS: These six photographs were mounted on what appears to be standard 8-1/2x11" photo album pages, three-hole punched, with a short typewritten description as accompaniment. Lind and Hufman appeared on one page together, with Condrey and Jones together on another page. Rinker and Baker each appeared alone on separate pages. Only Baker's page included any flourishes, having had a cowboy caricature -- hat, bandana, pistol and gun belt, as well as what may be a single spur -- hand-drawn in red pencil. Baker had fronted a Western music outfit known as Coy Baker & The Desert Stars, which had the distinction of opening for Johnny Cash in Tulare in 1956; Baker also hosted an eponymous TV show in Bakersfield as far back as 1956.

Ellis Lind hosted KSTN's "Three Alarm" program as early as 1951, and served as the station's program director in the late 1950s.
