What Old Radio Station's Were You Listening To Back In The Day?

Right now I usually listen to 101 The Fox in Kansas City. It plays classic rock. When I got my Charger those songs were what I was listing to at that time. Back in the 70's when I got my Charger we listened to KY-102. It was pretty much the rock station back then. Now I it is 99KY I remember sitting on a hill where teens always parked we could pick up WLS in Chicago. Does anyone know if it is still around?. Here in Topeka till like the late 70's we didn't have any rock stations. As time progressed we got one. It is V-100.....but they play current rock and some older stuff. We have now a station 99.3 which was rock from the 50's & 60's. Now It changed to rock from the 70's & 80's. What I am getting to here is I am wondering eventually the rock of the 70's is gonna fade away like the 50's stuff did? Many rock stations don't play the 60's & the 70's anymore. It seems when traveling it is hard for me to find classic rock. I got satelite but kinda want to listen to the local stations as I pass through city to city in other states. Kinda makes you wonder what music abuse our Charger will have to take on when were long gone :'(

I am not too sure I agree with you that the "70's music is gonna fade away! seems like the new generation likes it as much as we do!! my nephew of 29 and his wife that is ALL they listen too! and out here in Cali they keep adding new stations and all those stations play is 70's rock! so at least here in Cali I think "70's rock is here to stay!!!   :2thumbs:

Remember when what few FM stations existed played mostly classical and other stuff you wondered who listened to that? As a kid in NJ in the '60s it was usually WABC or WNBC from New York or WIBG from Philadelphia.

Otherwise...I stopped listening to music on "regular" radio a long, long time ago. Nowadays it's Sirius for me.

:o That was a AM station wasn't it. I used to pick it up on clear nights up here in Wisconsin pretty good. Especially in the winter months. Me and my best friend at the time used to listen every time we could :yesnod:

I listen to it still at http://www.knac.com/. One of their original female DJs, Tawn Mastrey, just passed away last month cause of liver cancer. http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=5883

WLS in Chicago occasionally but I mostly listened to tapes in my 8-track tape player.

Yeah, I've checked it out a couple of times. The thing with internet radio is that at least for me, if I'm near the computer I'm either busy doing something and can't listen to the radio; or if I DO want to listen to music, I have my entire CD collection uploaded into my computer and I can listen to what I want. Not too mention that I can also get Sirius online.

That's right brother! The MIGHTY ten-ninety!!

When they backslid or went off on folk tangent we'd tune in to WLS out of Chicago and listen to the Mr. Norm's commercials!

KZAP 98.5 FM arrived in the seventies with a "free form" format and I stuck with FM after that.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

So. California in the pre-FM 50's and 60's the rock stations were KFWB and KRLA.  I think they're both talk show stations now though.   Bob

In SLC, Utah it was KCPX until FM came in strong and then it was KRSP.  ( Gee am I really that old that I actually listened to am radio?)

98.5 WYCR, I think it was the only rock station we could get in the boonies.

    The "day" being the 1960's, night time listening on my 59 plymouth AM radio depended on the weather.  Here in the Piedmont area of NC, clear nights brought atmospheric "skip", as we called it, so stations 500 miles away came in clear as a bell...well, some of them faded in and out occasionally. You could tell who was listening to a far-off station by looking at how far up their car antenna was.
     We listened to WLS and Dick Bionde in Chicago, WABC in New York, WBZ in Boston, WOWO in Ft. Wayne, WNOX in Knoxville, and if we were really staying out late(past parental curfew, remember those?) we could tune in WLAC and the soft, flowing voice of John R. in Nashville.
     I try to get these old stations every now and then, but it seems that the survivors have gone all sports or talk radio.
     Too bad.  Vintage Chargers deserve vintage radio, at least now and then.
