*gnnnngh*

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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