Description: KKBQ-FM relaunched in 1982 with a high-energy Top 40/rock format and quickly rose to become one of the most popular stations in Houston. Its morning “zoo”-style AM drive show dominated the ratings for years, helping keep the station consistently near the top of the market. A big part of the station’s identity was its colorful mascot, the Too-Kii Bird, a cartoon character that perfectly captured KKBQ’s upbeat sound and irreverent on-air personalities. The Too-Kii Bird appeared on bumper stickers, T-shirts, and posters throughout the city, becoming a local pop-culture icon. The character even came to life at live remotes and station events, where a costumed Too-Kii Bird would mingle with fans and promote the station around Houston.
