Al Thernes was KRDO’s radio director in Colorado Springs in 1969. The Broadcasting Yearbook lists him among the station’s leadership, alongside program director Dan Eads, news director Bill Yeager, and chief engineer Charles Upton.
The directory also records KRDO-FM 95.1 as not yet on the air, with a target launch date of January 1, 1969. That detail places Thernes’s entry in a period of FM expansion, while the source itself does not say what role, if any, he had in the planned FM service.
