22. Sway and Tech join Power.
23. Felly Fel joins Power.
24. Power briefly deals with KDL, but KDL is gone in the same year.
25. But more threats come from a "new KDAY" on 93.5 and a new Hurban known as Latino 96.3, and a Rhythmic KIIS.
26. Jeff G and DJ Rawn get the noon time mix, finally shoring up a time slot that had seen mediocore numbers since dropping the Power Workout. Oh, Fridays would feature that "workout music"
Wow, what a look back at Power. I am just amazed at how much has happened at KPWR in a 20 year time span.
Like I said any reflections, thoughts, please post.
