Throwback KOCE Station Sign-On

Support Provided By

For today's history post, we thought we'd share one of our past station sign-on logos. This was often used in between programs as station identification, as well as proceeding locally produced programs. As you'll see, this is from back when our station only served Orange County from Huntington Beach.

Even though it's dated, you can't deny there is something charmingly SoCal about this short video - From the ocean waves to the sweet sounds of seagulls, it just feels like home, don't you think?
