Greg Aust Meltdown
STEVEN SMITH writes:
I met Greg in 1973 when he was a new hire at KVI and I was new at the KIXI newsroom. We met in the elevator at the Towers Bldg, KIXI studio on 9th floor. A young guy introduced himself in the elevator, seeing that I was going to the upper KIXI floor. He said I had a deep KIXI voice and he was Greg Aust….new at KVI and he was in the elevator because he lived in that same building.
I started listening to his mid-day show and loved it. Later, when I was with SRO, I spoke with the former KVI GM, Jack Bankson. Jack said Aust was unpredictable, one day he announced he was doing his show naked and a quick peak proved that to be true. One year he got a great book and demanded a raise. Greg got the raise but, next time his numbers were down and he came in the manager’s office and resigned.

KVI ‘Sound of the City’ & the KJR ‘Sound Citizen’-Jet City Song
Jingle packages from PAMS etc were used across the country at various stations. Some call letters were easier to sing, KVI vs. KSFO for example. Hear the Sound of the City jingle, KSFO version https://bayarearadio.org/jingles
