Brain fart.

Calling all Seattleites! Calling all Seattleites!

What was the name of the station in the *early* 80s that played stuff like Oingo Boingo, Depeche Mode, etc... wasn't KUBE or C89... AUGH! This is driving me nuts. I heard Oingo Boingo's "Nothing Bad Ever Happens to Me" in '83 on there, and I've been wrong ever since, and now I can't remember the name of the damned station. Grr. IIRC, they sold off about '85 and changed formats.

This is driving me nuts.

Shite. 101.5-7, just right of KISW, left of KZOK. Dammit, now you've got me wracking my brain.

Maybe it was KZOK?

AH! KPLZ. K-Plus!

Heyyyyy... 101.5, Station Z might in fact be it. I remember a small fracas in the media when Zebraclub sold Station Z shirts downtown with a big ol' Z on them, and it had nothing to do with the radio station.

Must ponder, but I think that's it.

Are you talking about KJET?

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Nope. For some reason I never really listened to KJET, although I know of a lot of others did.

[icebluenothing.livejournal.com]

I never did, either, but I've heard a lot of other people fondly reminisce about it, so I thought that might be it.

you're talking about The End (KNDD). They're still around, but I remember listening to those things there about that time (and for the next couple of years).

Of course your milage may vary.

[gwywnnydd.livejournal.com]

Nope, the End didn't come on the air until 92.

I think he's talking about KYYX, but I could be mistaken.

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

I know I listened to 107.7 playing grunge in 89/90, and new wave for a while before that... you sure about '92? I think that's when they changed *owners*, but I seem to recall them being called The End before then.

[gwywnnydd.livejournal.com]

You know, I think you're right. I'm remembering the ownership change.

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Missed the second half... KYYX... recall the numeric setting? That's pinging some grey matter there...

[gwywnnydd.livejournal.com]

Mid dial, but that's the best I can do for you.

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Nope, not The End... about '87 they started to play new wave and such, prior to launching grunge, but I'm thinking a few years earlier. In any case, definitely wasn't 107.7. ACK!

KPLZ!

[speedie316.livejournal.com]

101.5, KPLZ!

[keridwen.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna have to go with the general KPLZ contingent. :)

That's the one that I remember, at least.

hmm

in 83 some of my friends were listening to "the wave", as in new wave? But I don't remember anything else myself.
