Listened to XROCK 80, KOMA, KIMN (DENVER), WLS, KFI from Wyoming in the 70’s/80’s until the Country craze and FM radio shoved them all to talk formats….what memories I have makin’ out with those stations in the background.

To Jon Talbot. Read your comments on Xrock 80, KFI, KHJ and so on. I traveled must through the US in the 70’s and 80’s . I recorded many of the stations on 8 track and casette and since then have put them on cd.
Many hours of air time on these cd’s. Also WABC, WLS , KFRC CKLW and many more with dj’s retired or gone. If interested in copies of these let me know. I would like to share some of this.

Loved listening to the Mad Mexican, Richard Ramirez while growing up in Globe-Miami, AZ.! As I recall he used to blow whistle on the air kind of as a gimmick…that guy was cool and played great music. My cousin gave me this X-Rok 80 t shirt. The jingle went….Equis E Ere O Ka, Juarez, Mexico!

Glad I found this site. Man… the memories of cruz’n in Merced, Ca. listening to XEROK. It was almost always so clear. Blew other kids minds when they heard where it was from. I was a big time AM DXer then. I was soooo involved my grandmother made me a shirt with all the call signs that I had heard from Merced. XEROK, WLS, WOAI, KING, KLS, and one other I beleive was on 1020, and XEROK was the largest and went shoulder to shoulder across my back. The letters must have been 3-4 inches high. Other kids scoffed but I still wore it with pride. My wife (high school sweetheart) and I were talking about that shirt just about a month ago. Our 30th. will be on 11-10-09. I made a 70’s cd and several songs always makes me flashback to my XEROK days.
Thanks for the memories and this great site.

I lived in Southern Arizona in the 70’s and I, like Brian Kaye, remember these fondly:
KTKT, KIKX, KOB, KYA, KFI, KOMA, KOOL, KUPD, and of course XROK80!

Many a late night I spent in my bedroom absolutely loving XROK80 and KOMA, KTKT – all the great ones!

I now live in an Eskimo village in western Alaska – nothing like those great stations here! LOL!
