Thank you so much for attending the 2025 Radio Day By the Bay celebration! We had so much fun sharing the history of radio and love of broadcasting legends with you.
If you missed our live auction, but want a chance to own a piece of radio history, check out our historic radios now available to buy now at the auction website.

Our MCs Hoyt Smith and Sylvia Chacon kept our audience enthralled and entertained. What fine hosts for Radio Day! Thank you!

Our music was top notch. Thanks to The Royal Society Jazz Orchestra, Dan Ashley with JD & Chris of The Tamsen Donner Band and The Raccoon Hollow String Band.


Stan Bunger gave a great talk about the Tong family and their Golden Star Radio Company. Stan also announced that CHRS will be working with the Tong family to raise funds to refurbish and repaint the famous Golden Star Radio sign in SF’s Chinatown. Stay tuned to see how you can help.

We had a great auction! Our auctioneers Jim Gabbert & Rosie Allen relax after a job well done. They had our bidders clammoring to bid. We sold over half of our lots. And raised much needed funds. Some unsold radios will be available at Radio Central for the start prices.
