KODZ May 10, 2013
As promised a few weeks ago, today we’re taking a listen to the original KPNW-FM, though long renamed KODZ. Unfortunately, I don’t have any tape on the station as KPNW-FM. I’m not sure if any even exists. As with a lot of airchecks around this time, I was just going for the legal, so this…

WMMO February 23, 2017
It’s been a while since we’ve listened to anything from Orlando, but that’s where we’re headed this week. This is from the park-themed trip my parents took in February 2017, where they alternated between theme parks and ballparks. I didn’t get to go, but I did have my mom take my radio and get me…

The Final Two Hours of All Hit 98.9
Readers, Sorry this is late. I had stuff going on during the day on Friday, then was worried about sleep that night as I had to get up at 5:45 yesterday morning. The delay though also made me realize that I could post a different aircheck than I was going to. I recently did a…

KPNW October 24, 2024
No, we’re not talking about the Eugene talker at 1110, we’re talking about the FM at 98.9, which picked up the KPNW calls in February 2022 when the station attempted a run at AAA which lasted only 14 months. I don’t have any of that station, but the station then returned to country with the…

KNUC January 24, 2019
I’m not entirely sure why I recorded this, but it’s a good thing I did, as it’s the only aircheck I have of this station. Some stations just fit together, and this was one of them. When 98.9 flipped from rock to country, it was done so incredibly abruptly, something I still can’t get over.…

KVRQ July 1, 2016
As promised last week, this week we have a much higher quality aircheck of Seattle’s at the time new Rock 98.9. The station would eventually staff up and abruptly change imaging voices, but I don’t have any tape of that. Next week, I’ll be back the day after Christmas with the station a year or…

KVRQ June 16, 2016
I’m not sure how I forgot that I had airchecks of this short-lived rock station, but here’s the first. It’s probably because neither of them came out how I intended. The quality of this one is less than ideal because it was recorded on an old cassette I had lying around, and they are both…

KLCK January 14, 2014
Last week, we heard Click 98.9, still under its old KWJZ calls, shortly after launching the Click format. This week, we’re taking a listen to how the station has evolved since then. Throughout its 6+ year run, the format was tweaked multiple times, until it was eventually given up on. Next week, we’ll hear the…

KWJZ January 7, 2011
The Smooth Jazz format had been declining for years by late December 2010. It was then that Seattle’s smooth jazz station, KWJZ, flipped to Modern AC Click 98.9 two days after Christmas without warning. I was told by a friend later that members of the station’s loyal listener club did receive an email on the…

KKZX July 26, 2012
Sorry this is late. I got together with a friend on Friday and was tired by the time I got back here. Last week, we heard KKZX from July 25, 2012. The legal you hear in that aircheck was 4:00 P.M. Right away, I noticed that the legal had changed, and so had the clock.…
