    What radio station ran a contest to give Journey their name?

    Question #67656. Asked by sue59. (Jun 29 06 11:23 PM)

    		KSAN-FM, the Bay Area rock station
    After listeners heard the tapes, and were given some background on the band, they were invited to submit names for the band. There is some dispute as to who actually came up with the name Journey, but John Villaneuva, a Herbert associate, put it forward to Herbie, and the band had a new name.
