The KKSF Collection consists of independently produced radio advertisements on open reels from late 1986 (two are from early
1987). Although the collection is named for the donor, KKSF, that station did not begin broadcasting until July of 1987. The
ads may have been aired on the Adult Contemporary format station KLOK-FM, KKSF's precursor on the dial, but it is more likely
that the commercials were played on classical station KDFC, as both KDFC and KKSF were owned by Brown Broadcasting Company
from 1987 to 1993. Also, a few of the tape boxes have KDFC written on them. Most boxes have no station identification. The
advertisements are mostly for goods and services such as automobile dealerships, airlines, banks and clothing stores. There
are also ads for the San Francisco Opera and the San Francisco Symphony.
Tapes are in alphabetical order.
