KFOG is an FM radio station in San Francisco, California, broadcasting on simultaneously on dual frequencies; 104.5 and 97.7 MHz. (The second transmitter is located in Los Altos, California, and serves listeners in the South Bay, San Jose, California, Silicon valley who are unable to get a clear signal on 104.5.) The station's format is an eclectic variety of blues, reggae, pop music, and rock 'n' roll between the mid-1950s and today, which they call "world-class rock."
KFOG has developed a reputation for being incredibly devoted to their community of listeners, whom they lovingly call "Fogheads." A prime example is the weekday morning show from 6 to 10 Pacific Standard time Prize giveaways (usually concert tickets) are routine, and the guests (including San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who drops by about once a month) candidly field questions from callers and e-mails. The station also gives registered Fogheads first crack at tickets to private concerts, exclusive events such as Spring Break (when the station takes over Paramount's Great America for one day before the amusement park is open to the regular public), and so on.
The Station also holds a free concert, named KABOOM , at San Francisco's Piers 30 and 32 in the month of May. This is followed by a nighttime fireworks show synchronized to a soundtrack. The extravagant fireworks display draws over 350,000 people. It is rumored to be more spectacular that the 4th of July fireworks sponsored by the city. The 2005 concert included a performance by The Wallflowers.
Many of the concerts KFOG sponsors are also recorded for the KFOG Archives, a massive library of live performances that gets tapped once a year for a limited-edition CD called KFOG's Live From the Archives. No more than 35,000 copies of each volume (the eleventh was released in 2004) are pressed, and all of the proceeds are donated to Bay Area Food Banks. Volume 12 is set to be released in November of 2005.
