Programming

KKOG's all-live, all-local program schedule meant that many shows came and went fairly quickly during its history. Using published schedules in the Ventura County Star-Free Press and the station's promotional literature, programs which aired at some point in the station's history included:

  • Because - Opinionated quiz show
  • Country Music - Local country-western bands such as "Leroy Motley and His Melody Mixers", "Curtis Tate and the Broncos", "Chief Big and the Scalp Hunters"
  • Hollywood and You - Hollywood professionals, one from in front of the camera and the other from behind it, are quizzed by a panel of local residents
  • KKOG-In Party - Dancing to pop music
  • New Horizons - A look at high school and collegiate campus life
  • Prince Gary's Kingdom of KKOG - Local actor Gary Dyer entertains before a live audience of local children, reads stories, plays games, etc.
  • Prizes and Surprises - Local variety acts, contests and giveaways
  • Sand and Sea - Weekly surfing and ocean sports program hosted by Ventura Port District general manager William Kerrigan
  • Sí Sixteen - The culture of the Spanish-speaking population, hosted by Ventura College educator Dr. Frank Maggipinto
  • Stock Market Observations - Market news and analysis by local stock broker John McGowan
  • You Americans - Foreign correspondents assigned to the American beat tell how they view America

Descriptions came from the source material. In addition to the Ventura County Star Free Press, KKOG's programing schedule was also listed in TV Guide and the TV Times supplement to the Los Angeles Times. The extensive listings of the station's programming was unable to save the station.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:

    If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
