Z95.7's launch in 1997

KOYT - that's the call sign Bonneville used during the transition period. They spent a week or two stunting, simulcasting other Bonneville stations around the country before launching the Z format.
 
If I recall correctly, that's the most success out of the last 14 formats on 95.7. They even got into K101's drawers and made them nervous!
 
I do remember the simulcast of WTMX out of Chicago.

KOYT, now that would be some confusion, since it sounds so much like KOIT.

I remember KFOG fought hard for KFOX to move away from the 104.9 frequency
becasue it sounded too much like 104.5 KFOG (104.9 KFOX)
 
I remember the few weeks KFOX was at 104.9, taking over for the formerly Spanish-language KBRG, with the tag, 'Take off your sombrero and stay a while...104 9 KFOX!' ;D
 
Ah yes! When CHR was making a resurgence after a rough patch earlier in the decade. I wish I was able to listen to the Z back then in my area (I live in Kansas). Most CHRs around here at the time leaned towards rock or adult product.

As KKHI the station wasn't exactly a slouch. They had classical music on the station for 30 years and consistently got at least a 1.3 to 1.5, which was enough to keep Buckley happy...
 
Z-95 was getting in the 3's in the money demo. That's why K101 was nervous. They were just barely beating them. I know...I was at K101 at the time. As an aside, the Music Director at K101 was secretly dating the PD at Z-95...

Ha, ha. Actually...as hard as it is to believe, the supposedly most "Gay friendly" city in the USA is now Salt Lake City. Yes, that's right - Utah. Of course, SLC is a real city these days and Mormons are now in the minority there.
