KQV's Deejays did record hops all over the city. Often local bands would appear with some of KQV's Deejays. One of the local bands often linked to KQV was the Headliners. Ed Salamon who would eventually program at KDKA and WEEP in Pittsburgh was a guitar player in the band. The Headliners auditioned for KQV's Steve Rizen. For more on The Headliners click here.
KQV always brought the biggest and best concerts to Pittsburgh. From Dion and the Belmonts, Bobby Vee and the Fleetwoods in 1960, to Frankie Avalon, Bobby Vinton, and Gene Pitney in 1962, to The Beatles in 1964, to The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, and We Five in 1965. There were KQV Appreciation Days, Showers of Stars, as well as Festivals of Rock. To the left is a poster for Sonny & Cher, part of the 1972, Summer Festival of Rock.
Harry West was KQV's morning man in 1969 and 1970. Harry came to KQV from WARM in the Scranton - Wilkes Barre area. Today Harry is back in Wilkes Barre at WICK-AM playing much of the music he played on KQV on the Harry West Show on WICK. One thing that people still remember is the Harry West Show Jingle. After more than 30 years, here it is for the first time on the internet.
Over the years, former KQV Program Director John Rook has provided us with his insights and answers to many questions about his time at KQV.
