| "What AM Station do you miss the most?
My top two candidates:
WLS from the early 1970s through the mid 1980s -- always creative,
always just a little bit out of the box, always listenable.
KRBE(AM) Houston when it was "Classic Rock 1070" in 1985-86.
Imagine a station that would play the Thirteenth Floor Elevators.
In C-QUAM stereo, indeed.

But that's AM. The FM stations I miss most are the Entercom-era
KITS/Live 105 in San Francisco (until about 1997?) and the
"Rock 40" KXXR in Kansas City (1989-90). Both stations were
willing to bend the playlist and absolutely did not take themselves
too seriously, with personalities who had just enough of a sarcastic
edge to them. Both KITS and KXXR were both fun stations to listen to.
The current KITS is a pale shadow of what it used to be.
