I beleive that is was around May of 1993 or 94 when the KOH call letters dissapeared forever. Citadel never bought the station they only purchased the rights to the programing contracts which the then owner of KOH (Olympic Broadcasting) had. Citadel did not even buy the call letters because you cannot buy and move a 3-letter call sign. However they did pay Olympic for a 4-year non-compete agreement in the New-Talk format excluding religous talk.
The facts above are quite a bit different from what they say on the KKOH webb site. Well you can always depend on Citadel to distrot the facts, whether its history or ratings, Citadel will twist it around.
As I recall KROW was a country format for many years and it was more sucessful than the original 780 KCRL Classical format.
Any other memories of 780 Khz?
