Adding city-of-license to the list would give you more perspective since the stations were playing by pre-deregulation rules. Studios were in the city of license, news focused on local issues, and stations were limited to one AM and one FM per market.

Any of you all remember a 97.9 out around Beeville area? They played standards I cant remember much about them. Just wondered if anyone knew anything about that. They have been dark for quitsometime now.
 
I remember 97.9 Beeville being a Classic Rock station several years ago. They then changed frequencies to 107.1, i believe.

I Believe you are referring to Y98 KYTX Beeville. They carried the "Music of Your Life" Service until about 1998(?) or so. They changed formats to Classic Rock then moved to 107.1 with a much weaker signal.
 
They were probably paid to move to make room for 97.7's upgrade.

Back to the Corpus topic-- when did KSIX-FM 93.9 go on the air?
Weren't they easy listening in the daytime and classical at night... all automated?
 
I want to say KSIX-FM went on the air around 1970 or '71. They started out as a "Beautiful music" station, then soft pop, then top-40 around '79-80 when they became KEXX. They were AC as KSTE-FM in the late 80's, then continued AC with a change in calls to KMXR. They changed to their current oldies format in the late '90's but kept the KMXR calls.

Don't forget that it ran a satellite oldies format prior to "Music of Your Life." 97.9 had a really good signal for what it was. It was pretty much a local in San Antonio. I remember hearing they were going to downgrade and move to 107.1, and I never could figure out what they were thinking. I always thought they should have tried to move their signal west. It's quite possible the former KVCQ in Cuero did buy them off to move.

Several months later, on July 1,1970 KTOD-AM flipped to country and changed calls to KIKN. KIKN was THE Country leader in the Coastal Bend for the next 10 years or so (before FM took over and K-99 signed on in late '82).

KTOD-FM changed to KMIO-FM and flipped to a sort of "free-form" Rock until they adopted the current KNCN-FM calls in '76 and became the Rock powerhouse (C-101) that they still are some 30+ years later.
 
I was P.D. And, briefly GM of KZFM in 1070 (Celia) Worked there prior to it's heyday while in high school (RAY) '62-'63 when Del Mar College had free time on a couple of nights.
