Description: KLOL FM was a rock station in Houston, Texas that was on the air from 1970 until 2004. The last song broadcast by the legendary station was also the first it ever played, "I'm Free." Like many early rock stations, KLOL began as a free form/progressive outlet, then morphed over the years to AOR and then classic rock. KLOL now airs a Spanish Pop format as Mega 101.
Description: 96.7 FM signed on as KVOE-FM in 1947, simulcast with KVOE (1480 AM, now KVNR) with its studio on East 5th Street in Santa Ana. On July 1, 1954, KVOE-AM-FM changed their call signs to KWIZ and KWIZ-FM, but still under the same ownership. By 1970, the FM and AM stations had separate programming. The AM station aired a full-service middle-of-the-road format of popular music, news, and information, while the FM station had an automated easy listening format, which would change to soft adult contemporary music in the mid-1980s. Fast forward to 1997, KWIZ-FM took on a Spanish-language format playing classic Mexican ranchera music and the name ‘La Ranchera.’
Description: In 1977, the Peoria, IL radio station WKZW was formed from the previous station WMBD. WKZW played Rock Top 40 and was known to its listeners as KZ-93. The station was an instant success. In 1983, the station transformed into playing mainstream Top 40 hits. KZ-93 was well loved and earned its title as a highly rated station in Central Illinois.
Description: KOYL 98 FM went on the air April 5, 1966, in Odessa, Texas, broadcasting an easy listening format during the day and a country format at night over their 34,000-watt transmitters. In 1979, KOYL was sold and moved into a new building and where new studios and production spaces were built out. Additionally, a new transmitter between Odessa and Midland was constructed and enabled the station to upgrade to 100,000 watts. The upgraded station relaunched as KUFO in 1980 with an album-oriented rock format. The station quickly grew in popularity and became a ratings success, but despite this, the station was sold again in 1985, marking the end of KUFO.
