Thanks for posting this sample of KYYX. This is the first aircheck of this station I have ever seen available.
It sounds like a first rate clone of KROQ. I mean that as a compliment.

Where is KYYX 4-ever...

Thanks for posting the find! [:D] I like, and yeah a klone of 'ROQ of the '80s...

You're welcome guys, I thought it was pretty cool myself.

Thanks Yachtingtype! That was my fave Seattle station back then; I still have those KYYX "Wave" magazines shown on the clip stashed away somewhere.

I do miss the days when you could hear stuff like the Pretenders "Tatooed Love Boys" on commercial radio!

Awesome clips,
I'll take anything I can get.
But there was really so much MORE going on at the station over the air...Stephen Rabow would play records backwards (anything from the Chipmunks to Bow Wow Wow!), play records in slo-mo (33 rpm if it was a 45 RPM record), old movie clips, all kinds of wacky stuff. Most of the DJs were really quite creative and funny, and told stories about the artists and songs. Rabow, especially, had a lot of knowledge about the music. Man, makes me nostalgic.
And those Wave magazines !!

this it totally cool. i have some KYYX airchecks that i might post on here in the future.
