And now stay tuned for the program that has rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history. The Signal Oil Program. The Whistler. Signal. Signal.

The famous Go Father gasoline invites you to sit back and enjoy another strange story by the Whistler. I am the Whistler. And I know many things before I walk by night.
