[edit] History

Prior to its switch to all-classical, it was a college rock station through the late 1990s. Billing itself as the "hundred-thousand milliwatt zippo of the River City" KAGU broadcast a 100 watt signal throughout Spokane. Other slogans included "your only alternative" and "proletariat and bourgeoisie alike agree!" A marketing high point was achieved when the infamous trailer "Fish For Breakfast" was broadcast in 1994. The concept was simple: the voiceover stated "Fish For Breakfast, and KAGU every night. That's the way it oughtta be!"

Jocks from the college radio years included Scott Petty, Dan May, Stephen Schachtel, Giovanni (Matt) Caputo, Christopher Miller, Reggae Rob, JP "Admiral Perry" Theriot, Kevin "K-dub" Ward, and the ever-popular guest DJ "The Hook," who would make random appearances across the programming schedule.

Daily programming included college rock and specialty shows from 7-midnight.
