X103.9 KCXX, Riverside/San Bernardino (2006-2014)

*Some stickers of X103.9, Riverside/San Bernardino

On January 1, 1995, KAEV in Riverside/San Bernardino, California, USA became KCXX and ended its simulcast with KACE by flipping to Alternative Rock as "X103.9", with the first song played being "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails (this matched WLUM's post-1995 programming direction).2015 marked KCXX's 20th (and, as it would turn out, last) year as an Alternative Rock station.

On December 21, 2015, KCXX announced it would end its alternative format the following morning after two decades, citing falling ratings and increased Internet music services for the reasoning behind the change. On December 22, 2015, at 7 a.m., after playing "Snuff" by Slipknot, KCXX flipped to Rhythmic Hot AC as "Hot 103.9." The first song on "Hot" was "Time of Our Lives" by Pitbull. The station changed its call sign to KHTI on the same day as the flip. An automated alt-rock format continued as a separate mobile app under the former X103.9 brand, but the mobile app has been removed from app store from Google and Apple as of May 2018.

*Some stickers of Radio 24, Switzerland

Radio 24 was founded by Roger Schawinski. Operated since November 1979, from Pizzo Groppera (Italy) broadcasted around 130 km of distance, the strongest privately operated FM station in the world, right into the Zurich area. At the time, the law did not foresee the operation of private radio stations in Switzerland. 

On 22 January 1982, the editorial team was finally relocated to Zurich and obtained a broadcasting license.

Currently Radio 24 is the second largest private radio station in Switzerland. Since 2018, CH Media, a joint venture of the NZZ-Mediengruppe and AZ Medien, is the owner of Radio 24. CH Media started operations on October 1, 2018.

Front side: shaped; background: maroon chrome; Hot 92 Jamz logo.
Back side: Hot 92 Jamz Funkateers promo.


On August 9, 2001, KCMG Los Angeles changed its call letters to KHHT, re-branded as "Hot 92 Jamz" (and few years latter branded as "Hot 92.3"), and shifted to more of an urban AC format. However, KHHT was not a typical urban AC station; this station was one of the first urban AC's to play more old school/classic soul, the more mainstream-level R&B (barely-to-not playing neo-soul at all) and some rhythmic and Latino pop/R&B songs to cater to the Hispanic and Asian audiences that listen to R&B music in particular. In this way, KHHT's playlist structure was the inspiration for other urban AC markets in the western half of the U.S. such as sister stations in KISQ San Francisco, KSYU Albuquerque, and KHYL Sacramento.

*Some stickers of KLTY Dallas

Call letters KLTY re-established on April 20, 1989 at 94.1 FM (calls originally established in 1985 at 94.9 FM). KLTY was even-traded for KJRT/KGDE in 2000.

Salem swapped the Christian talk format that had been on 94.9 FM for nearly two and a half years known as "The Word", and placed the popular KLTY on a 94.9 signal while "The Word" went to 100.7. This placed the KLTY call letters back on its original frequency.

Manchester United launched the station in March 1994. Former Piccadilly Radio presenter Matt Proctor was the creator and presenter of the Match Day show and the station's output would often be simulcast on the PA system inside Old Trafford during the early part of the afternoon or evening.

The station was a Low Power AM station only available when Manchester United played a home game at Old Trafford, generally broadcasting from around three hours before kick-off until around two hours after the final whistle. As an LPAM station broadcasting with a Restricted Service License, it could only be received within a limited distance from the stadium – approximately a 50-mile radius.

After 418 games, Manchester United quietly retired the station after the 2007-08 season when they announced that they had agreed a deal with local radio station Key 103.

101.3 KDWB, Minneapolis-St. Paul (1989 - 2003)

 *Some stickers of 101.3 KDWB, Minneapolis-St.Paul

KDWB-FM (101.3 FM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting in Minneapolis-St. Pail, the Twin Cities region of Minnesota, licensed to suburban Richfield. KDWB's radio format is Top 40/CHR. Its transmitter is located in Shoreview, while its studios are in St. Louis Park. Currently 101.3 KDWB is owned by iHeartMedia.

In 1988, newly hired program director Brian Phillips cleaned house, as he dismissed many of the air personalities, overhauled the music and brought in Steve Cochran to host "The KDWB Morning Zoo". He also hired a new air staff, introduced 12-song commercial-free music sweeps, changed the overall on-air presentation, and created a new logo, which is still in use today. As the rechristened "101.3 KDWB", its fortunes changed. Previously branded as "The New KDWB FM 101" and then as "All Hit 101".

KDWB quickly became the top CHR/Top 40 station in the market. KDWB also gained national attention in 1989 for helping to break "The Look" by Roxette, the first of four US number-one songs for the Swedish duo.

In February 1991, WLOL came to a sudden and premature end, as owner Emmis Broadcasting experienced financial problems and began to divest of many of its properties. Minnesota Public Radio purchased WLOL and turned it into the flagship for their classical music service. Throughout the rest of the 1990s, KDWB had virtually no CHR competition.

In 2000, KDWB got a new rival of sorts when upstart KTTB ("B96") went on the air with a rhythmic Top 40 format, heavy with hip-hop and urban contemporary music. While B96 was not a major ratings threat, partly due to its rimshot broadcast signal and smaller promotional presence, it did give KDWB the most formidable competition it had in recent years. Today, the competition for the rhythmic/urban audience comes from KZGO, sister station to the former B96, and to a lesser extent, the trimulcast of WGVX/WRXP/WWWM.

At the other end of the spectrum, KSTP ("KS95") also competes somewhat with its older-leaning Hot AC format (which has since transitioned to a more younger-leaning direction), as does KDWB's own sister station KTCZ with its own pop/rock-leaning Hot AC presentation. In 2010, KTTB rebranded as KHTC, leaning more towards KDWB's format and relocating their transmitter to the heart of the metro area. The battle between KDWB and KHTC lasted until New Year's Day 2012, when KHTC flipped to Modern AC to fill the void left open by WLTE's flip to Country, thus leaving KDWB as the market's only mainstream Top 40 outlet again.
