Profile
KKHI relied heavily on local announcers playing recordings, especially by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. The station played primarily orchestral recordings and was known for avoiding chamber music. Unlike its sister station in Los Angeles, KFAC, KKHI tended to play longer selections and never excerpts from symphonies or concertos. The various daily programs each had a specific musical introduction; one of the evening programs, for example, was introduced by the opening bars of the third movement of the second symphony of Sergei Rachmaninov. One notable fact was KKHI's monthly playing of the Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky by Anton Arensky.

Wears its soul like a hat....”

“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
