I am sure I’d been through the whole second rerun of PreTeena and most of the first rerun, and I well remember seeing the end of the first rerun (with Teena’s dream sequence), but I don’t remember these early ones at all last from time around!
AM was great in the 50s and most of the 60s—like KHJ and KRLA in Los Angeles. Then FM took over, and at first it was true free-form radio (KMET, KPPC, again in LA). Eventually it too, became commercialized and had to submit too playlists like all the rest. But Deep Tracks on SXM weekdays 206 PM Pacific time had Jim Ladd, and once again free-form radio is back with us. PBS (KCRW, Santa Monica) and Pacifica (KPFK, LA) stations also have leeway in what they air.

They’re lucky. My transistor radio is only AM, and the earplug isn’t stereo…

Teena would be about 32, today.
