It was an idiotic move for KIXI to pick up MOYL but not surprising considering how Sandusky does things. At least they came to their senses. |

At the time KIXI went with MOYL, the latter was still viable with strong, well known personalities. All those people have since left and MOYL is a shell of its former self. What about this? If Oldies is dead, where do you think that leaves Standards? |

Lucky for Seattle. I wish we could get KYXI back on 1520 in Oregon City. |

So are they picking up KKAD's music? I don't know of many stations that have MOYL anymore. I like America's Best Music better. I wish some internet station had that that didn't have sports. |

It sounds like they're going back to local programming. |

I'm thinking Bruce Murdock worked there on weekends while at KLSY. That's a pretty good Porland connection! |

The reason why I posted the story of Seattle's KIXI is because of its connection to the old KYXI. Plus I've found, there's always been a good response to KIXI threads on pdxradio. |

I worked at KIXI-FM (KIXI-Lite) as it was called in the early 80's. At the time KIXI-AM was mostly automated. These were the days with the huge racks of reel to reel machines, seemingly where all the tapes needed to be changed within a 5-10 minute period. I had nightmares about these changes, because if something went wrong (a tape broke, or got wound wrong), it seemed that a snowball effect would take place and everything would come crashing down. Fortunately, that didn't happen very often, but made for some stressful times. How things have changed! |

I remember those stressful analog automation days at KALE in the Tri cities. And that lasted until 1995 or 96! complete with audiophiles and instacarts. |

Modern automation systems still fail every now and then, but it seems that not as much stress is experienced when they do. |

Chick Watkins is the PD for the Dial Global Adult Standards Format and is not a part of MOYL, and yeah, he's probably close to hitting 70, DG has over 200 affiliates carrying that format, including, uh, Portland yes? |

For the poster who wanted America's Best Music, it's being streamed 24/7 by KODL AM1440 The Dalles. |
