95.7 The Beat

[searadiofreak]

Ackerley is correct. I thought Robert L Scott and Tom Reddick were behind 95.7 The Beat? Maybe I'm confusing them with 96.5 before KYYX ...hmmm.
I remember Sam Perkins and Gary Payton hosting a similar show on KUBE 93.3(urban)
It didn't last long either.

Tom Reddick and Bob Case were behind KKBY "The Y" down at the Eatonville station, 104.9. It was an Urban Oldies (Soul) format.

KUBE started out on the water down at Leschi because that station was the former KBLE-FM, a religious station. I know, I took a studio tour of KBLE and it was a beautiful venue for a radio studio. I wish KUBE was still there, what a cool location.

95.7 was Soft Rock K-light KLTX, and before that it was KIXI-FM---a simulcast of KIXI AM.

Here's what Wiki has on KJR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KJR-FM

Actually KIXI-FM was NOT a simulcast of KIXI-AM in the 80's.  KIXI-FM had a unique AC format from 1981-1986, that was completely seperate from its AM sister.

...and that is true. I had on my 5 channel FM presets in 1983 1) 93.3 2) 95.7 3) 96.5 4) 99.9 and 5) 107.7 (Weird and unreliable, I listened to KRAB on 107.7 a LOT more than sometimes humanly tolerable.)

On AM, 1) 770 (KXA Until they went Religious) 2) 950 3) 1250 4) 1150 and 5) 1590 (KJET....How I STILL MISS this station) With occasional drop-ins on 1540, 1380, 880, 1510, 1400 (still in Tacoma), as well as the legendary CKLG 73O AM.   

I floundered in between the presets (AM/FM) a lot. But I knew when things changed for the better.....or worse...

Does anyone remember the "Disco 95.7" April Fools stunt in the 90's?
