Description: Country music station KBBQ 1500 AM in Burbank became KROQ in September 1972, changing its format to Top 40 and hiring established disc jockeys from other stations to shake things up. In 1973, KROQ purchased KPPC 106.7 FM in Los Angeles, which had been broadcasting an influential free form, progressive rock format since 1968. The FM station became KROQ 106.7 FM, and the two stations began simulcasting programming, referring to themselves as "The ROQ of Los Angeles" and later "The ROQs of LA: Mother Rock." The AM/FM simulcast broadcast continued through 1978, when the AM station was sold off, allowing the FM station to grow to be L.A.'s biggest rock station for the next few decades.
