Talk:KZAM (defunct)

message: The content at this article should be merged into the article at KQMV. Information about a radio station that has a continual license history should be contained in a single article about that station at its current call sign. Mlaffs (talk) 13:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I worked there. I was part of the Franklin High student staff. I have photos taken at the station, and an article from the Franklin High Tolo newspaper announcing the agreement and staff. Much of this was collated into a binder when I applied for a position at the newer KZAM in 1975. The original KZAM-FM is referenced in an article on Seattle musician Dave Lewis at Historylink.org. http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm& How would you like me to proceed?

text:  Hmmm. It died for me, too. Try http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=8684 Scroll down to the sub-head "David's Mood." The reference is at the end of the second paragraph. BigshirtXL (talk) 16:01, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wow -- that's a thorough biography of a most interesting musician. Unfortunately, as respects KZAM, at most it supports a statement that there was once an R&B station in Seattle called KZAM. I can't find anything else about it on the Internet, but if you can find print sources (such as newspaper clippings), they could be cited in an article here. --Orlady (talk) 16:59, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

text:  Right. But it establishes a date for the original KZAM as 1962, 13 years before the second KZAM appeared. I can scan you the Franklin Tolo article from September 25, 1962, which is hanging on my wall. If I can find the binder I prepared in 1975, it has photos of the studio, staff members and owner Monty Strohl in his office. Somewhere I also have at least one copy of the "K-ZAM KaZette," the station's newsletter that included the weekly Hot 150 playlist. (Yeah, we had 150 singles in a 45 rack on the control board. The albums were in pegboard racks behind us.) BigshirtXL (talk) 17:49, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

text:  Okay, here you go. 1963 edition of Broadcasting Yearbook, published by Broadcasting Magazine, Page B-198: "KZAM 92.5 FM, Foremost Broadcasting. Began broadcasting: Nov. 20 1961. 100% black music format. Monty Strohl - Owner; Larry Braxton - Assistant Manager; Ernie Opel - Chief Engineer. Mailing address: P.O. Box 12767, Seattle 22, WA. Telephone: EA 4-8515." The station's physical address was 2401 E. Union, Seattle. The broadcasting tower and transmitter shack were located on Cougar Mountain, outside Issaquah, WA, roughly 18 miles from downtown Seattle. I visited the facility several times with Ernie. At the time, Cougar Mountain was the site of most Seattle area FM towers. Probably still is. BigshirtXL (talk) 18:42, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
