History of KSFR Call Letters

The call letters were originally used by an independent San Francisco classical music FM station, which began broadcasting on March 11, 1958. KSFR was purchased by Metromedia in October 1966. Metromedia began switching to a rock music format in the spring of 1968 and, on May 21, 1968, they changed the call letters of KSFR San Francisco to KSAN.

    In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.

    Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)

    But what we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    I have a vast deal to say, and shall give all this morning to my pen. As to my plan of writing every evening the adventures of the day, I find it impracticable; for the diversions here are so very late, that if I begin my letters after them, I could not go to bed at all.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
