SALUTE TO KOA
KOA was founded on December 15, 1924 and on its tenth anniversary moved to its present location with offices and studios in Denver's Radio City at 1625 California street and to a new 50,000 watt transmitter in Aurora, a suburb of Denver. KOA is the only 50,000 watt station for 500-700 miles in any direction.
KOA is the only station between Chicago and the west coast whose news room is equipped with the direct wire of all three of the world's greatest news services, AP, UP and INS.
KOA is the only Denver station maintaining a house orchestra. The KOA String Ensemble under the direction of Milton Shrednik, nationally known for his work in music circles, originates six programs to the NBC network each week, in addition to several local programs.
KOA has inaugurated as a public service feature a round-table discussion program entitled When the Boys Come Home, which is broadcast every Friday at 9:45 P.M. This program is designed to give reliable information to our returning veterans. Leaders of business, government and veteran affairs are present each week to give authentic answers to questions concerning veterans' rights and opportunities.
KOA has a lot of good live talent: The Mett of the West, male quartet under the direction of Milton Shrednik; Ivan Schooley, baritone; Andy Gainey, baritone; T^net Fee. lyri' soprano: No'-ma Lee La^kin. confalto; Happy Jack Turner, piano-playing singer; Lora Price, women's advisor; Hal RenoUet, the Mile High farmer; Shorty, Sue, Sally and the Boys, western singing and instrumental group; David Eisenberg, violinist; Milton Shrednik, pianist and director of the KOA string orchestra around which KOA's tnusical programs are built.
KOA serves its large rural audience through its Mile High Farmer program every morning from 6:00 to 6:30, featuring Hal Renollet, director of agriculture for KOA. Hal visits the farmers and personally discusses their problems with them. The listener's interest in the Mile High Farmer program and their confidence in Mr. Renollet is expressed by mail received from 25 states and 2 provinces of Canada.
Among awards won by KOA are: The Merit Award presented by General Electric to the NBC operated station maintaining the most nearly perfect operating record for the year 1943.
For the fourth time KOA won coveted Billboard awards in their Eighth Annual Radio Station Promotion Survey. KOA won second place for overall promotion in the clear channel network affiliates division, and in the sweepstakes between all owned and operated stations of the networks KOA came in third.
KOA's oldest consistent advertiser started its advertising campaign with KOA in 1924 and has been with them ever since! Proof enough that KOA offers complete satisfaction to its advertisers.
