From 1974-1977 "The Reggae Explosion", a groundbreaking USA commercial radio reggae program
aired on KTIM AM/FM in San Rafael, California. It was hosted by KTIM DJ Cody Ryan & Doug Wendt.
Pioneering USA reggae radio DJ Tony (Moses) Wright from KPOO, KDIA & KPFA sometimes joined them.
When 'Dread Eye' Cody became Program Director at KTIM in 1979 he offered Doug his own two hour reggae
intensified presentation which first aired Sundays live at 12am. So that's why Cody named it "Midnight Dread"
