KUNM! Circa 1980's.
I used to be a volunteer Firefighter/EMT in Socorro. Being a small town and my department being the only full ambulance service in the county except for the Alamo Reservation we often did inter-hospital transfers to Albuquerque hospitals, UNM/BCMC, St. Joseph's, Loveless. The Ford E-350 had an AM-FM in addition to the two ways, guess what rig was the Saturday night ride? Drop patient, stop for food or refreshments and return to town after tuning in KUNM. At that time the Saturday night show was free form album oriented rock.
Sometimes if it was an extremely late transfer one of us would sleep on the return trip. Those nights sometime after midnight, on came KOB. Chuck Cecil's "The Swinging Years", a 30's to 50's Big Band show.
Most of the others on the department were Country fans. We ran a three man crew one early morning, I was the driver on the return trip. They slept on the way back, one on the gurney, the other on the crew bench. They found out I did not prefer Country as they woke to the strains of"Casey Jones" as we rolled into town at sunrise.
To steal a line and slightly modified from Blazing Saddles and countless Western movies: "There's a new EMT in town".
