Legendary Station RADIO KEEN Celebration
Celebrate the Legacy of Radio KEEN!
Radio KEEN first hit the airwaves at 1370 AM from its studio at the historic De Anza Hotel in San Jose on June 21, 1947, and for 45 years, it was a beloved voice in the Bay Area. It was such a momentous occasion that San Jose Mayor Al Ruffo and legendary entertainer Red Skelton were there for its debut!
This year, the Bay Area Radio Museum and Hall of Fame is honoring Radio KEEN as its Legendary Station of the Year—and we’re celebrating in style!
Join us on Sunday, June 8th, from 4–7 PM at History Park in San Jose as we pay tribute to KEEN’s rich legacy, its on-air personalities, and the dedicated people behind the scenes. We’ll also be joined by the families of the station’s co-founders, who helped make KEEN a cherished part of Bay Area radio history.
Enjoy live country music from the Patty Kistner Band, and a special appearance from country star Lacy J Dalton. Also grab a bite from the food and beverage trucks on-site—or bring your own picnic and relax with friends at one of the many picnic tables.
🎤 KEEN Karaoke Contest – A Legendary Addition!
As a fun addition to this unforgettable celebration, we’re hosting the KEEN Karaoke Contest—where five finalists will compete live for a $1000 cash prize and a vintage gold-plated KEEN belt buckle! Think you’ve got the voice of a country legend? Find out more and enter here.
