Evidence of the Ban:

On August 4, 1966, the Hobbs Daily News-Sun reported, "A Hobbs radio station, KHOB, will not broadcast any more Beatle records. The new police is effective today, according to an editorial broadcast today by the station's program director, Tom Wall.... The editorial, aired by Wall, said in part: 'We at KHOB are gong to join this battle against the Beatles. As of today, you will not hear, on KHOB, the so familiar screaming of this unrighteous group. The library of Beatles records has been destroyed. This is not a request for opinions on this station. This is simply a statement of policy. No more Beatle records—ever—on KHOB.' "
