Not too likely to exist, unless somebody at the station was recording at the time. Not too exciting, either.

MOViN was developed elsewhere and brought into 99.7 suddenly in mid-morning, and in secret. There was no MOViN launch build-up with stunting or anything like that. The whole format was generic and had no local references or mention of the frequency. Just the hideous automated "Brad and Tasia" telling the music would make us "feel good!" For example, those MOViN jingles didn't include the "99.7" until about 3 months later.

The KFRC Classic Rock jocks were called into the manager's office either after their shift (Cammy & Dean), or before their shifts (Sue Hall, etc.), then fired on the spot, and escorted from the building.

Pretty ugly, even for radio.

The MOViN jingles said 99.7 but had Brad Of Tasia saying it so it sounded differnet. I do remember Brad saying "Thanks for making hte move to the Bay Area's new Movin 99.7!"

When MOViN launched I was at school and came home and turned my radio on changed the channel and heard my new favorite radio station for the first time. It made me feel good and my I still listen to MOViN 99.7 ever since.

MOViN was at Seattle and Los Angeles before coming to San Francisco.
 
lKeller has proven time and again to be a fairly reliable source of information, so if he says the generic Movin jingles didnt say 99.7 until later, i'd be inclined to agree.

I get that you are 14, but chill a bit with the constant Moving shilling.
