Matching "K" Call Letters

[ScottBurns]

This is really a nonsensical post, but having travelled much, I have come across the matching "K" call letter of some of Providence's stations. I thought it might be fun to post a few of them, and see if anyone had any to add.

KPRO (AM) - a gospel station in Riverside, CA

KBRU - a Classic Rocker in Denver

KSNE - AC station in Vegas

KRZE (AM) - not sure of the format, but it is in Farmington, New Mexico

KCTK (AM) - News/Talk in Phoenix

KSKO (AM) - not sure of the format, but in Alaska

Does anyone know of any more?

Somewhat related, Infinity operated a "Lite 100.5" KMZQ in Vegas that competed with KSNE, same name as Hartford's Lite 100.5. Vegas' Lite, which was actually better sounding than Hartford's a few years ago, fell to Jack FM in June.

I didn't know about KEEI. Do you know on which island it operates?

Lite 100.5 billed itself as "Las Vegas' At-Work Station." However, for a Soft-ish AC, it was one of the better AC stations I have heard. However, I like it better as Jack FM.

I'm not sure where you got that info, but from 100000watts:

KBRU-FM
101.5 MHz Format: N/A Testing
Licensed: Strasburg, CO
Owner: Hunt Broadcasting, Inc.
Began Operation: 1968
Facilities: 2051ft 97kw C


I think I saw somewhere that it's off the air right now, and when it comes on it'll be spanish.

I heard it first in 2000. Thought it sounded quite good; the station used to brag about it's having "the only local love songs show", as KSNE carried Delilah.

The station ended up going with John Tesh at nights, and was always in 2nd place in the AC race after that. However, KJUL 104.3, the standards station, picked up Tesh, so someone must be listening.

Same here. I listened last week, the blend was actually quite good, KKJJ played lots of listener calls in support of the format. KCBS is my favorite Jack, though.

I was recounting those from memory. I haven't been in the Denver area in three years. I thought the station had been Classic Rock, but I could well be wrong...
