Composite: 15 KSTP Minneapolis / St. Paul | 1979 (19:16) Scoped

This ‘check starts with the “Heinz in the Morning” show, with Charlie Bush news. Northern Minnesota had a great sounding AM station years ago, although 1979 just isn’t that long ago.

No station jingles, but good, contemporary music with a good mix of new and old gold. Not sure what 1500 AM is up there now, but it’s probably some sort of talk (I could look it up, but I’d rather have some listener leave comments :))

    John HINES! Still in Twin Cities mornings, at K102.

    AM1500 KSTP is a top-notch News/Talk these days. Flipped not long after this aircheck, in fact.

    AM 1500 Top notch???? It is a bottom feeder.

    I agree with Duke. KSTP is nothing but the same old right-wing neo-con talk garbage. I sure miss the old 15 KSTP days though! Can’t listen to it anymore! Couldn’t pay me to listen now!

    Judging from what I heard on this aircheck, I have to say that this was originally aired in 1978, not 1979. This aircheck sounds exactly like what I heard on my transistor radio in summer 1978. I believe KSTP began to flip in 1980 as they shifted their music focus to their FM station KS95. 15 KSTP was billed as “KSTP News Plus Radio” by 1981. They still played some music that year, but it was a horrible blend of boring adult contemporary and old yucky Top 40 tunes (no currents). By summer 1982, the music completely died and the station has been all news and talk ever since.

    From what I read in Studio Z-7 publishing, KSTP was an MOR station during the 60’s playing easylistening music. They switched to the tradional AM Top 40 format in 1973. Up until that time, AM was pretty much by itself (FM radio didn’t become popular until the mid-70’s).
