Since we're on it, was there *not* one episode of the show where the
announcer on the radio said, "This is KGU Honolulu"?

I keep thinking it was uttered on an episode, but I'm not
sure....maybe it
was in a dream of mine....I just thought it unusual to hear *actual*
calls &
COL on a fictional show....

Did this *really* happen?

Could be. I haven't watched a GI episode in many years....

Not in the first season, for sure.
I purchased the first season on DVD and I've seen them all with no
legal ID on the radio.
Yes, I admit that bought the first season... those black & white
episodes with the opening theme that calls the professor & Mary Ann
"and the rest". They went to color in year 2 and changed the theme to
give credit to Russ & Dawn.

While this thread is still alive I remember when Gilligan's head became a
radio and the skipper mentioned that if there were two of him they could
have stereo. This was years before Kahn am-stereo. Hmmmm :-\



But not years before XETRA (then XTRA) were experimenting with AM stereo
using a sort of split modulation scheme (right channel modulating one
sideband and the left modulating the other). They used this for many years.
I used to be able to use two radios, one tuned to each sideband to listen to
(very poor separation) stereo. The system was called the Kahn ISB system,
which stood for Independant SideBand.

a.. 1960 - AM Stereo first demonstrated on XETRA, Tijuana, MX, using the
Kahn ISB system.
