New Seattle AM music station KVI 570

It's sad what's happened to radio. If a station is getting a real live DJ, that means salaries, a back-up guy, extra equipment, benefits, holidays, etc. etc. Lots cheaper to subscribe to an automated service.

I remember when FM was coming in during the fifties, we had a station in town broadcasting on AM and FM. The AM station was news, music with DJ's, local baseball at night during the season (no network affiliation.) FM was a record changer playing muzak-like music. You could hear the changer cycle and drop the records from the pickup catching the vibrations. Every now and then the needle would stick and the music went round and round and round until somebody woke up and noticed.
