Lots of 60's and 70's KNOW stuff here:
http://www.knowreunion.com/know_sounds.htm
The rest of the site is worth perusing, as well. I grew up listening to KNOW along with KTSA, KONO, the long-forgotten KTAP, and at night, WLS.

Lee Randall appears to have a page dedicated to a KTSA alumni reunion a few years ago. I found it while trying to locate a friend of mine:

Here's Google's cache of page 6 from his site:

How about KAZZ (95.5 FM)? It was Austin's first FM station to play Rock n Roll. It flipped to a Top 40 format in 1966 or so. KAZZ played the hits, but was a lot more loose than your average Top 40 AM. Local bands like Roky Erikson and the Thirteenth Floor Elevators would frequently broadcast their local shows on KAZZ.
Here's a link to a page dedicated to KAZZ. It also includes scans of promotional material and airchecks:

Now if any of you have any links to old KRMH, KOKE, KTAP (in it's AOR days) or early KLBJ-FM (in its early and mid 70s glory, post those links, please !).

I recall KAZZ was never much of a factor in the Austin market--its listeners were mainly audiophiles and tech geeks who were pretty much the only people into FM radio in those days. The airchecks on the site you linked are quite a rarity.

KRMH was a great station the first two years it was on the air (1971-73) but after KLBJ-FM hit the air with AOR, KRMH swirled down the toilet.
> KOKE
The AM Country Format, or perhaps the Progressive Country FM incarnation around 1972-73? That was quite something new in those days, light-years different from anything that had been heard before. The old KAFM in DFW did something similar 1975-77.
> KTAP (in it's AOR days)
The last year of the station under those calls, 1973-74. Not really AOR, IIRC, but a blend of progressive forms of Rock/Folk/Country. Another rather unique format, but not commercially viable at the time. The AM quality didn't help at a time when FM was experiencing rapid growth.
> or early KLBJ-FM (in its early and mid 70s glory
The call letter flip to KLBJ happened around June, 1973, after the sister TV station was sold to Times-Mirror. It was unusual in those days for the station being spun off to keep its old calls (KTBC Channel 7) while the AM/FM combo flipped.
Speaking of KLBJ, in the fall of 1969 predecessor KTBC-FM had a Saturday night Progressive Rock program...ran from 8pm-Midnight, IIRC. Quite a contrast to the MOR format it ran the rest of the time.
Other interesting airchecks would be from the old KHFI-FM's original "K-98" Progressive Rock format 1971-72, as well as KUT's "Nightflight" program (late 60's-early 70's.) Great stuff.
