KKLZ had been dying a slow death for sometime and was doing little to recesitate itself.When Kahuna & Co. tried the Friday morning obscure rock format many people came up with dozens of bands with great music (Cactus,MC5,Savoy Brown,Wishbone Ash,It's A Beautiful Day,etc) that the station never played.I personally loaned them about 20 albums with artist like Baker Gurtvitz Army and early Atlanta Rythm Section.We begged them to expand their playlist instead of the same groups and songs over and over again.At one point KKLZ was playing Van Halen 10 times a day.Those of us with more sophisticated taste left for other alternatives like satellite and internet radio and the station finally collapsed in on itself.
