this message from george fuller operations mgr KRML / the bank has seized the jazz & blues co. – KRML / the station owner ran out of funds / last monday a moving company emptied the retail store and deconstructed the radio station / the station however is still up and running on 1410 am from the tower ,, an engineer and myself installed a computer in the tx building / a note to all promoters :::: please send to p.o. box 22232 , carmel ,ca. 93922 not box 7300 or it will end up at the bank / the station engineers and myself will soon reconstruct the station offices at a new location / the station is for sale and we are all hoping that the new owner will realize that it is a mainstay for jazz and blues since 1971 and the only 24/7 jazz radio station on the central coast / it will be better – George Fuller , Operations Mgr. KRML , Carmel
