From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KYNO is a Spanish language religious radio station broadcasting at 1300 kHz in Fresno, California, United States of America.
[edit] Station history
KYNO from 1957 and throughout the 1960's and 1970's, was a Top-40 station, and was the #1 "Hooper" rated station in Fresno under the ownership of Eugene Chenault. KYNO was the testing ground for the "Boss Radio" format that would be adopted at such stations as KHJ, Los Angeles; KFRC, San Francisco and CKLW, Windsor, Ontario. Program director Bill Drake and disc jockeys such as KO Bailey, Les Turpin, Ed Mitchell, and Gary Mack went against the cross town rival KMAK ("K-Make"), its program director Ron Jacobs and DJs Robert W. Morgan (who would become legendary in Los Angeles), Jim Price, Glenn Adams, Jay Stevens, Frank Terry & Tom Maule. This radio war is now known as the "Battle Of Fresno."
Eventually, KYNO stopped playing music and for a time was an all-sports radio station that carried the Fresno Grizzlies of the Pacific Coast League.
Since 1999, KYNO is now called Radio Guadalupe. Its current general manager is Ray Carrasco. On-air personalities include Angel Noriega.
