When did KXRX go Country?

[ksradiogeek]

I'm reading an article from the Times Archives about KXRX's change from rock to country. When did this happen in 1994?

KXRX officially flipped to Young Country on July 1, 1994, after a computerized voice couted down from 40,000 (that started at 5:30PM on 6/29, counting down to 1, then counted back up, then back down....this according to an article from Seattle Weekly 7/20/1994)......before they they were stunting with a wacky, comedy-type format.....still have an aircheck of that somewhere.....hope this helps out

Much obliged. Thanks! If you do find that aircheck, could you post that to the "Airchecks" page?

Also, do you happen to remember when KYCW flipped to The Point? I remember it was at least 1999.
