wanted, 96.5 airchecks

B

bobdavcav

Does anyone have any sort of recording from when 96.5 was the point? I'm not sure if I would be able to find it, but the only recording I know of online is one they did from Seafair that doesn't have any music, and you can only tell what a couple of songs were.
 
Hmmm. Everything I have on 96.5 is when they were KYAC "The Soul of the Sound". Those were the good ole' days.
 
I'd really like someone to dig up some airchecks from the mid-60's when the call was KLSN and it was owned by Cort Clark Back then, it was located in the University Village shopping center. I worked there part-time for a while in 1965.
 
You can find bits of KYYX on YouTube.
 
I might have some old mini discs around. I don't think I have anything from the Breakfast Club/Cruze/Slater, but may have some sweet Tommy Hough breaks...

Email me on my KZOK account.
 
"The Point" was just one of 3 or 4 Will and I worked at while at CBS Seattle.
I think I may have air stuff as well, tape and mini disc. I know I have station
stickers and key chains. Hey Will, remember X-Treme Talk 1090 and K-ROCK?

Ran-Dix! Long time no see, man. Hope all is well.

X-Treme Talk 1090 was my first radio job. We were on the air for like three months and then told that we were all going to have to find new employment. That station was kind of fun, though. Opie and Anthony, Ron and Fez, Don and Mike... they had some great shows on there, unfortunately no one ever actually had a chance to listen to them.

The thing I remember most from KROCK was the second day it was on the air (first morning) I was in as the board op. We were running off of a paper log and CDs. The paper log said I was supposed to play track 1 on a Nirvana CD, but it was wrong... I was actually supposed to play track 11. So here I am at 7AM playing Rape Me and all I can think of are all these soccer mom's alarms going off who had heard Men at Work and Duran Duran the day before and had no idea what they were in for.

Now that I think of it- that used to be one of my favorite things on this board way back when. People used to actually tell radio stories and stuff. It wasn't all jock bashing and engineer talk. So please- tell me some radio stories.

Unfortunately, if I do that...the people who were on the receiving end of some of those "stories" still read this thing!!!

(for example...adding a decimal to a PD's personalized license plate that once said 10SHARE --- you get the idea)
 
Didn't K-Rock play any current tracks? I know it was mostly "Classic Alternative". Which, if I was in Seattle at the time, I would've killed to hear that stuff! Also, do you remember K-Rock's first song?

KRQI was pretty much classic grunge. I don't remember hearing any currents.
