the TM Stereo Rock station IDs

T

tutenmaton3

i've heard for the first time, the TM Stereo Rock station IDs from 1973 to the early 90's. from Rock 93-7 in Wilmington, Delaware to Q103 in Denver - this format has got covered, even when you hear the call letters (WSTW or KOAQ). and now, we probably ask the automated Top 40 format lovers, what was the real call letters from the city of license. but i've heard the station nicknames, like 107Q or FM 96. so, you can guess the TM Stereo Rock station ID from 1973 to maybe 1990, listen carefully. here are the 3 TM Stereo Rock station IDs from 1983. and here they are.

If you Google TM Stereo Rock, you can find several demo reels and samples from stations that carried the format back in 70s and very early 80s.

The format started fading after that, caught between the rise of satellite-delivered radio formats and the increasing number of live/local Top 40 stations on FM.

TM Productions was sold to Drake-Chenault in 1986, so technically what you would have heard after that wasn't "TM Stereo Rock" anymore -- but I was hearing the successor on KDSQ 101.7 in Denison/Sherman, TX as late as May or June of 1990.

I'm curious if you're aware of any stations still carrying this format after that point?
