KZAM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KZAM-FM was a pioneering Progressive Rock station that served the Puget Sound region from 1975 to 1983, where it broadcasted their format at 92.5Mhz. As of 2006 the signal is now home to Adult Rhythmic Top 40 KQMV (Movin' 92.5).

A leading eclectic radio station in Seattle, Washington in the 1970s, KZAM-FM was influential as one of the first stations to play "New Age music" by the Windham Hill label. More importantly, the programming concepts spawned the so-called adult album alternative format. They also had innovative television commercials.

Early staff members included Tom Corddry, Jon Kertzer, Davidson Corry, Shelley Morrison, Leilani McCoy, Marian Seymour, Jeff Hanley, Jeff Heiman, Steve Suplin, Jude Noland, Dennis Fleenor, Lee Somerstein, Nick Morrison, and many more.

The last two minutes of their final day of broadcast was porky pig stammering "That's All Folks!"

KZAM-AM was KZAM-FM's sister station. From 1979 through 1981 it played exclusively punk and New Wave music as the "Rock of the 80's". DJ's included: Spudboy, Cindi Bemel, Kerry Loewen, Michael Stein, and Stephen Rabow.
