100.7 WMMS The Buzzard - Cleveland OH
What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey?
I am older so my radio stations of influence were in their prime during the British invasion and many, many American singers and groups.
The stations I listen to the most were WLS out of Chicago, KIOA out of Des Moines, KAAY out of Little Rock, Arkansas and KOMA out of Oklahama. When I was in the Air Froce I had a few stations near the main base I was stationed at outside of Rapid City, S.D.
Of course systems and better and better systems and FM became the dominate source for broadcast/online music. I did learn much of what I liked and eventually purchased through early radio listening.
I still listen to radio mainly for Jazz stations and NPR news.

Mostly college and/or public radio stations for me: WRAS - Atlanta (Georgia State) KUT - Austin (Univ of TX) WDET - Detroit (Wayne State) KBAC - Santa Fe ("Radio Free Santa Fe") WFCF - St Augustine (Flagler College) I've seen CKLW in Detroit & Windsor, Canada mentioned frequently. Many years ago at SXSW, they showed a documentary about that station called: "Radio Revolution - The Rise and Fall of the Big 8." It was excellent and I highly recommend it (you don't have to be from Detroit to enjoy this one). Hopefully it is still in print. |
