With pdxradio's vast reach, thought I'd help out with KONA's announcement below. The Tri-Cities station signed on the air as KWIE in January 1948 from Kennewick, switching to KEPR by 1959 and KONA in 1971.

-------------KONA Alumni Call-Out For 60th Anniversary Bash-------------

To celebrate its 60th anniversary, CHERRY CREEK RADIO News/Talk KONA-A/TRI-CITIES, WA OM/PD DOUG DANIELS is looking for 610 KONA Radio alumni (KEPR prior to 1971) to come to the party, so to speak. "We are making plans for a 60th reunion this fall and also would love to record some liners for the station featuring some of the folks who made KONA great," DOUG tells ALL ACCESS.
