Ah, the good old days. There was quite a spirited debate in rrb at
the time. As someone who lived in Kansas City at the time, and who
was well aware of what was then KFEZ, I felt it wasn't quite
the crime against humanity that some made it out to be.

At one time, the 1190 in Boulder, CO also had nighttime service with
a DA, but that was given up sometime in the mid 1990s. There was a
about a year in Kansas City when KFEZ was off the air after getting
struck by lightning *during* a thunderstorm in 1990. 1190 was a very
quiet spot on the dial most nights during that time -- or there was
a very low level hash.
