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.

Are you kidding? James Gabbert, K101, 100,000 watts in 1970 stereo extravaganza. His radio broadcasts on Friday nights were entirely for audiophiles like us, the best engineered recordings, trains coming through your listening stage, incredible, so so memorable!!

WMYK FM A mixture of WOWI & WNOR that
replaced the former when it changed formats.
