1260 KYA listen live

The greatest hits of the '50s, '60s and '70s from San Francisco's original Boss Of The Bay, featuring Golden Gate Great Oldies.

It was May 1, 1958, when San Francisco’s 1260/KYA first burst on the Bay Area scene as Golden Gate Great Radio with the coolest Top 40 music played anywhere.

Over the next quarter century, popular personalities like Emperor Gene Nelson, Russ “The Moose” Syracuse, “Big Daddy” Tom Donahue, Johnny Holliday, Tom Campbell, Chris Edwards, Bwana Johnny, Mike Cleary, Gary Shaffer and Ed Hider and helped elevate the original 1260 KYA to legendary status.

Now, Gary Mora’s CLASSIC 1260 KYA RADIO returns as your personal time machine, taking you back to the 1960s and 1970s (and even the 1950s!) with your favorite Golden Gate Greats and memories of cruising with your buddies, diggin’ a drive-in movie on Friday night, checking out the funny cars at Fremont Drag Strip on Saturday, hanging out at Golden Gate Park, heading over to Playland At The Beach and all the things you loved about being a kid … without the homework!
