EVENT: "Live! At KRE 2007" - Radio Day By The Bay

WHE The Historic KRE Radio Station Building, 601 Ashby Ave.,
Berkeley

WHEN: Saturday, July 21, 2007, from 10 AM - 2 PM. (Gates open at 9:30
AM)

The California Historical Radio Society is proud to present its annual
open house with a celebration of local radio history on the grounds of
the famous KRE Radio Station Building, located under the huge radio
tower on Ashby Avenue near Highway 80 in Berkeley.

The KRE building, which stood as an abandoned eyesore for many years,
has been lovingly restored by the volunteer members of CHRS and
converted into a world-class museum of radio and television, including
vintage broadcast and production studios, displays of classic radios
and television sets, a research library, a working ham radio shack
(W6CF), electronic theory school and repair shop, plus a museum store
and archival audio transfer and restoration service.

The open house will include tours of the facility, live music, and
performances by the Bay Area's own Broadcast Legends, as well as an
auction of rare and unusual radios to help raise funds for CHRS'
continuing effort to preserve the rich history of broadcasting in the
region.

Popular Bay Area radio personality Carter B. Smith will be on hand to
host the festivities.

The historic KRE radio station building is one of the first structures
built specifically for broadcasting in the Bay Area, and has been
transmitting for seventy years from this location; it currently houses
the transmitters for stations KVTO/1400 and KEAR/610 (formerly KFRC).

In the early 1970s, George Lucas used this location to film the
Wolfman Jack and Richard Dreyfuss scenes in his film, "American
Graffiti." CHRS is believed to be one of the only vintage radio
societies to have an historical AM radio station building as its
headquarters.

The building will also serve as home to the Bay Area Radio Hall of
Fame, with a "wall of honor" to celebrate the great men and women that
have entertained local listeners on our airwaves for nearly a century.
