Topic: XERB


  
 American Graffiti - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
It is set in 1962 against the backdrop of commentary and music spun by disc jockey Wolfman Jack.
The commentary is from his U.S. broadcasting studio that is supposedly linked to the transmitter of border-blaster XERB in Mexico.
However, the depiction of Wolfman Jack broadcasting live from a local studio in California via a transmitter in Mexico is not accurate, since provisions of the Brinkley Act forbade cross-border broadcasting.

 XERB (AM) Information
XERB are the call letters of a border-blaster radio station licensed to the Tijuana / Rosarito area of Baja California, Mexico.
It is the station that was made famous by Wolfman Jack in the George Lucas movie American Graffiti.
Artistic license was taken with the subject material for the sake of the script.

 XERB-AM Biography on DanceAge
After Wolfman Jack temporarily left XERF 1570 kHz he moved to XERB "The Mighty 1090" and was DJ and station manager from 1966-1971.
As if being on one border blaster wasn't enough, Wolfman began broadcasting pre-recorded shows on three different Mexican stations at different times of the day, XERB, XERF, and XEG 1050 kHz in Monterrey, Mexico.
Since Wolfman owned the call letters, XERB, they changed the letters to XEPRS-AM and programmed soul music, calling the station “The Soul Express.” Wolfy still broadcast for over a year while under the new ownership, but left soon afterwards.

 REELRADIO Golden Gift - Wolfman Jack XERB, March 1971   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
This exhibit of Wolfman Jack on Baja California's XERB is presented the way most Americans heard it, skipping across the border complete with infrequent fading and various superhetrodyne effects.
It's dated as being recorded on March 15, 1971, but it's possible this one was composited from different hours, because Wolfman plays the same Calvin Arnold record twice within a few minutes.
The show was broadcast from reels recorded in Los Angeles, and the order in which they were played was the responsibility of the XERB ingeniero.

 Tour Mexico - Festival Plaza at Rosarito Beach | Travel and Vacation Packages
This was back in the day when rock and roll music was brand new and many people considered it the beginning of the end.
Wolfman Jack was here then, broadcasting live from XERB and thumbing his nose at all the U.S. censors.
His show went all the way up the coast and could be heard in the U.S. and as far away as Canada.

 XERB Radio & Wolfman Jack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Afterwards, Wolfman Jack went south of the border to XERF-AM in 1964, a super-powerful radio station in Mexico that was reaching millions of listeners across North America and filling its air time with U.S.-based preachers selling all sorts of religion.
In 1965, Wolfman Jack moved to XERB (1090 AM), another power-pumping clear-channel radio station located across the border on Mexico's Baja peninsula, at Rosarito Beach, near Tijuana.
Beaming his now-trademark mix of rowdy rock, raw rhythm and blues, and verbal antics, the Wolfman quickly found a new legion of fans from Southern California, up through the Great Northwest, into the remote regions of Alaska and Canada.

 Border blaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1973 the border blaster XERB became world famous when George Lucas featured the station as the source for the musical soundtrack of his motion picture American Graffiti.
XEPRS-AM: This is the radio station, formerly known as XERB, featured in the George Lucas movie American Graffiti starring Wolfman Jack as the disc jockey.
XENT-AM: Operated by Norman G. Baker from 1933 until forced off the air in 1940; "The Calliaphone Station" (for an air-operated calliope invented by Baker) promoted a cancer-cure clinic of Baker's, essentially continuing his former station KTNT ("Know The Naked Truth") of Muscatine, Iowa, as was forced off the air in 1932.

In 1931, KNX was on 1050, and was undoubtedly the 1931 equivalent of a Class I-A. So, in 1931, we have KNX (Los Angeles) on 1050 as a Class I-A equivalent, and XERB (Rosarito Beach) on 1060 as a Class I-B equivalent.
In 1941, WBAL, KTHS and XERB were all reassigned by the table method to 1090.
With NARBA came the class system, and WBAL and XERB were assigned Class I-B. Whether KTHS was also assigned Class I-B is not known, but by the time it was relocated to Little Rock as KAAY, it had most likely been reassigned Class I- B.

 THE BOBBY FULLER FOUR REP 4279-WY I Fought The Law ***
It's a cool track, dripping the early sixties border radio days when Wolfman Jack was on XERB beaming into California (and on XERF and others along the border as well).
Saturday nights, car radios were tuned to XERB, KRLA, KFWB, KHJ, KAFY, KFXM, or KGFJ, from which oozed out the surf, the rock, and the RandB that drove a generation.
Bobby Fuller played some of the best surf instros on the gentler side of the track.

 WOLFMAN JACK AND XERB
He would wave at a young Jamie Lee Curtis who lived across the street as he pulled out of his driveway to go to work.
The shows on XERB were recorded in LA, then the tapes were driven down to Mexico to be played at the transmitter.
He was blasting from four stations and was once again the undisputed king of border radio.

I recall that Wolfman Jack went there circa '64 after quitting XERF because both were on the same frequency and, consequently, the Wolfman had a particularly strong contingent of fans in the Twin Cities...
After Wolfman left XERF in 1964, he went to XERB (Rosarito Beach, BC), which very effectively serves the west coast.
Wolfman was apparently gone from L.A. radio by the time "American Graphitti" came out (1969).

 The Best Darn Story Of The Whole 20th Century
Wolfman moved on, as all radio gypsies must, to another border blaster in a marsh by the Tijuana River, with a dead shot up to Los Angeles, and yet another emisadora muy grande.
XERB's signal could hold its own with such L.A. giants as KFI and KNX, and certainly had no trouble whatever shooting up the Central Valley as depicted by George Lucas.
Now the mystery man with the huge voice and the good music could own California at night, and inspire everyone.

 CBC Toronto - Programs - Metro Morning - Music Reviews
Many of these border blasters, as they were known, were powered by as many as a million watts and their signals reached as far away as Japan and Australia.
So, you had stations with call letters like XERF, XEG, XERB that not only boasted eclectic playlists - like so many online stations - but some of the most colourful characters you were likely to hear on the air back then.
When we talked about The 60s Rock Experience box set a while back I listed off a few reasons why I wished I lived in the 60s.
