This is a tribute website dedicated to Harrisburg's WKBO!
The WKBO studios were located at 31 North Second Street in Harrisburg. Al Dame and his partner Michael Rea bought the station in 1971. WKBO was known at the time as "Happy Day Radio" 1-2-3 Radio KB. This AC format was not successful. The decision was made to go Top 40 against WFEC. A new Program Director, Bob Alexander was brought in from WVAM in Altoona, and The Rock of Harrisburg debuted on St. Valentine's Day, 1972.  The rest is history. This is only the beginning of the story. Join us as we explore WKBO from The Rock of Harrisburg to Music Radio and more.  We now are including information on WKBO The Station On The Go and more information on Radio KB.  WKBO ... The Capitol City's Capital Letters!
