People in Lubbock.....

[bucwhyl]

I'm bored as heck, so let's go down memory lane.....

I live in Ft. Worth now, but I grew up in Ralls, and then Lubbock. I remember as a kid in the 70's, I got my top 40 fix from 950 KSEL AM which was heard on 93.7 as well. In the late 80's, I used to listen to urban on 580 KJBX AM, also known as, "Jambox 58". We had Z102, but I was digging 99.5 KRLB FM, also known as, "FM99". Then the early 90's came, and 99.5 got a little hip as top 40, "B99.5". If I remember right, if you wanted your easy listening fix, you tuned to, 101.1 KTEZ FM, known as "Easy 101". Before I left Lubbock in 1996, I was able hear hip hop in the evenings on 1420 KLFB AM, known as, "B1420 The Bomb", and KMMX FM, was known as "Mix 104.7". I also remember a station playing standards named, 1050 KCAS AM. Somebody help me! If you remember any of the old Lubbock stations, post them.

Sorry, Buc, I didin't get here until 1998, just after B99 flipped to Classic Rock.
Nothing too exciting at that point. Everything owned by Gulfstar (now GAP) had been gutted (and little seems to have changed).
Here was the linup in Spring of 1998:

AM
580 same as now
790 same as now
950 Tejano (relay of Magic)
1340 KKAM same as now
1420 KLFB Tejano
1590 relay of KLLL
The rest was flilled in with Spanish and religious formats, didn't pay much attention to most of it.

FM
88.1 same as now
90.1 about the same as now
91.1 Air 1
92.7-94.5 same as now
no 95.5
96.3 same as now
97.3 Star 97, (KVOP?) (I think this was mostly ABC satellite soft AC).
98.1 "98-Kool" with Rush Limbaugh in the middle of the schedule
99.5 KCRM "THE CREAM OF CLASSIC ROCK"
100.3 "Mix 100.3" Was more of a modern leaning Hot AC, not the Mainstream CHR they are now
101.1 "The Oasis 101.1" Satellite Soft AC from either ABC or Westwood One (BVG was 1/2 morning pair and the VO).
102.7 same as now
no 103.3 yet.
104.3 "Classic Rock 104.3, KLZK" (but flipped to CHR Kiss 104.3 in August)
The rest were about the same, more or less, also Tejano and Religous that I didn't pay attention to.

Buc,

You grew up in Ralls? Sweet, me too! I remember all those that you mentioned. I worked in the olld KSEL building in 88 and there was a lot of KSEL stuff left in the attic. Should have scavenged it!!

Man are you serious? My parents worked at Ralls High School until 1978, when we moved to Lubbock. Man can you remember anymore radio stations that I missed. I would have loved some of that KSEL stuff. I had airchecks of most the stations I mentioned. I left all that stuff in Lubbock when I moved here. Those were the good ol' days!
