Boss Radio
Boss Radio was the name of two radio programming formats, both launched in the early 1960s: One in the United States, and one in the United Kingdom. Although the names were the same, the formats were quite different. The word "boss" was early 1960s American slang for something fashionably attractive or impressive. Boss Radio in the United States Although developed earlier at other stations, the U.S. "Boss Radio" format is most closely associated with KHJ in Los Angeles, at 930 kHz AM. KHJ, one of the first radio stations in Los Angeles, had gone on the air in 1922 and in later years was owned by RKO, a major U.S. corporation which produced movies, television and radio programming over its own stations. In the 1940s and 1950s, KHJ broadcast a mix of drama, mystery, soap operas, news, and music, both live and recorded. In the early 1960s the format was adult contemporary music. The audience ratings were dominated by KFWB, KRLA, KABC and KMPC, and KHJ lagged far behind the o ...

These agreements also addressed how frequency assignments were distributed among the signatories, with a special emphasis on high-powered clear-channel station, clear channel allocations.
