KMEN Weekly Music Charts Frank W Hoffmann

KMEN was a leading Top 40 AM radio outlet serving the San Bernardino and Los Angeles markets during the 1960s and 1970s. This volume reproduces the station's pop music surveys from the 1962-1966 period. Also includes a thumbnail historical sketch of the station. Like the other radio charts titles, my goal was to provide a convenient chronological compilation of weekly surveys with corrections of the considerable errors found in both the original sources and in translation to online sites. These radio charts - which exist in the public domain - can be found in a multitude of sources, including original published sheets distributed via retail outlets, mail inquiries, etc., notation of on-air broadcasts, back issues of area newspapers (where stations are located) and music trade periodicals, specialized reference books, and websites interested in historical documentation, most notably, Oldiesloon, musicradio77, and ARSA. I employed multiple sources in the compilation of each radio chart volume in order to provide the most accurate data possible.
