This Is The Story - We Take Our Stand - Korea 1951
In 1951, the big question about Korea was "Why are we here"?". AFRTS stepped up to the plate and produced a lot of documentary product. In this docudrama, we learn the story of communist aggression. William Woodson, who did tons of voiceover work over the years (Remember the imposing narrator on the 1960s TV show "The Invaders"?) was the announcer, making every word the most important thing that ever happened. AFKN/AFN-K has been delivering the truth for over 60 years now.
Wolfman Jack 1978
I can hear the howl.
Wolfman is back with a 1978 show for the Air Force. This is near the end of the run, when the FCC had short-sightedly changed the rules on public service programming.

Bob Kingsley 1979
If you've been around here for a while, you've heard Bob Kingsley. He did a rock show for the network in the mid-70s. After that it was worldwide fame with American Country Countdown.
Bob was one of us, he did a tour at the Iceland station. Rumor has it that he carved his name into the board. There have been a lot of requests for this. Bob Kingsley 1979
