This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both thou and thy seed may live.

Debuting as an album rock station in 1976, the station known simply as “106” quickly became one of Peoria’s favorites. “Rocking’ with the Best” and “The Home of Rock n Roll” were slogans that every Peorian knew. A morning show with a string of popular hosts and personalities, including Pete On the Street McMurray, riveted listeners and won accolades. The good times continue, but the WWCT call letters and the 106 nickname were changed in the early 2000s.
KWK Radio was the oldest station in St. Louis. It started out in 1925 as KFVE and became KWK in 1927. After playing adult standards and then R and B, KWK switched to Top 40 in 1978. In 1979, KWK was broadcasted simultaneously on 106.5 FM. The station became KGLD, which played the oldies, in 1984. Afterwards, there were numerous changes in format and call signs. The station gained national fame when a DJ smashed Elvis records and declared,"Rock N Roll is dead."

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.
n 1974, WTUE was "The Super Ten Four!" with morning personality Gregg Mason, Sean McKay in the midday slot, Al Morgan in early afternoons, Bill Lyons in afternoon drive, and Dave Michaels in the evening. In 1976, the station switched to the new and innovative album oriented rock (AOR) format under the direction of Dave Michaels as program director. Gregg Mason was moved to sister station WONE. Patty Spitler, who had been the morning host at the University of Dayton's WVUD, (considered "underground rock" at the time) would become "T-105"'s first morning show host.
