Description: KCMU began as a student and volunteer-run 10-watt college radio station based out of the University of Washington communications building in 1972 and quickly becoming an innovative, influential cultural force in the Seattle area and beyond. Their eclectic playlists created by an all volunteer staff made it a true beacon of light in the crowded, heavily commercialized FM radio world. Still operating today, albeit under a different call sign and with slightly more commercial leanings, they're still a darling of the independent radio world with countless listeners tuning in locally and streaming from around the globe.

Description: 95 1/2 WMET was a Chicago-based radio station that started in the 1970s. Initially licensed by the Moody Bible Institute after WWII, the station changed hands and formats several timesover the years as the need for sister stations and station variety shifted. In 1976, the call letters were changed to WMET, but still featured the 95.5 slot. Although they were still playing top 40 hits, they branded themselves as a rock station. From 1979-1985, the station took on a more heavier rock format, but again was sold and rebranded to contemporary hits. The station struggled to find an identity playing short periods of oldies, new age, smooth jazz, Spanish language music, and finally country through a variety of new owners.
Description: On March 17, 1981, First Media completed their pourchase of KBLE-FM, and flipped it to an automated Top 40/CHR format as "The Northwest's New 93 FM." On July 8, 1981, KBLE officially launched with live on-air staff. On April 2, 1982, the call letters were changed to KUBE, and the station became known as "KUBE 93 FM". Shortly after the switch to Top 40/CHR, KUBE shot up to the top 5 in the Seattle radio market ratings (occasionally reaching #1 in some books and target demographics) and would later become the dominant CHR station in the Seattle metropolitan area. KUBE primarily competed against two other Top 40/CHR stations in the Seattle metropolitan area, creating an intense rivalry between the three stations throughout the '80s.
