Gonzo on KNAC Barstow

As a Kidd growing up in SoCal, we didn’t just have a ton of Los Angeles radio stations to listen to, there were outside the metro stations we could hear, depending on where you lived. There were Valley stations, Anaheim/Orange County stations, and even the radio station I worked at, 93.5 KFOX in Redondo Beach, a South Bay radio station. And then there was a little station in Long Beach at 105.5 on the FM dial called KNAC. When it first went on the air in the late 60’s, KNAC it was a progressive rock station. It progressed into a new wave radio station in the early 80’s, but 106.7 KROQ had the upper hand with that format, and the signal. So inJanuary of 1986, KNAC decided to focused on heavy metal rock. Becoming Pure Rock 105.5 KNAC. And despite the weak signal, it had a cult following, as the jocks of KNAC introduced bands like Guns n Roses to the airwaves. Sadly in February of 1995, KNAC was sold and Pure Rock faded to black. In 2025, some of the guys from the old KNAC decided to bring it back…but to the Highway Rock station in Barstow, California. I won’t go into the history of the Highway stations, other than to say that back in the day, there were a series of signals up and down Highway 15 between LA and Las Vegas that travelers could tune into for music and Vegas info. The studio(s) are on the second floor of the old Barstow Train Station on Main Street. It’s a popular place to stop for gas and a bite to eat at the McDonald’s. But you’d never know just above the indoor fast food restaurants, are studios where the floor creeks as you walk down the hallway of the radio stations. With a signal in Victimville….sorry. I mean Victorville (personal story there that I’ll tell someday), another frequency in Barstow, and also heard in Las Vegas on their sister station 99.7 The ViBE’s HD3 channel, which is what I listen to when I’m in Vegas. On this aircheck from February 6, 2026 is the afternoon guy, Gonzo, who was an original KNAC rock jock back in the day. BTW: Many of these airchecks cannot be monetized due to the music copyrights.
