The KB Reunion
Danny Neaverth's 25th Anniversary at KB

Text, audio, and video stills by
Steve Cichon

Its one of the great events in radio history... As KB Radio was sold off by Cap Cities and was sliding into the abyss, the station threw one hell of a party to celebrate Dan Neaverth's 25th anniversary at the station.

In many ways, it was the last hurrah for a station that would soon spend most of the next two decades mired in satellite "formats of the day" and little or no direction.

But for one winter weekend in 1986, KB was back.... The weekend started with reception at Shea's on Friday, an Oldies saturday morning on KB, and then Saturday evening... A Free-For-All Round table discussion with many of the jocks and newsmen who were in town....

Then-KB News Director John Zach was instrumental in putting the reunion together... He also shared with me 4 hours of video that were shot over the reunion... Stills from that video appear below.
