Is it only me, or is KTEA 103.5 FM in the small central coast hamlet of Cambria the spitting image of KOST 103.5 here in L.A. during the very late 80s and early 90s? The web site is basically a featureless business card (KTEA 103.5 | Cambria, California), but the stream is available everywhere, and I've been listening to it from down here for a short time now, somewhat amused by the number of gentle, saccharine '70s and '80s hits I'm hearing. Many songs that simply aren't aired here in L.A. anymore with lots of "oh wow" nostalgia value. It's almost like the station's owners reasoned that all those dental office secretaries who once kept KOST humming away on their cubicle tabletop radios workday after workday retired to that little bedroom community and wanted to keep hearing their favorite playlist.
Be warned that there are occasional intrusions from the '60s and '90s (I heard House of the Rising Sun by The Animals a few moments ago, and some autotuned thing that sounded late '90s last night). But to my ears it mostly sounds like early '90s KOST.
Goes very nice with the late '80s (instrumental new age era) KTWV emulation at .:: FM KORTRIJK ::.. Now I just wish I could find a couple streams emulating the sound of 1987-1991 KPWR and 1984-1989 KZLA.
