I haven't done anything with KFOG here, and I figured I should start doing it now because there's a good chance I may never be able to do so again.
KFOG, for those who don't know, signed on in 1982 as an AOR station. Somewhere down the line, it transitioned into a Triple A format, which it carries to this day. Not as diverse as free form stations but still playing an eclectic mix of music. It's also notable for being one of the few rock stations from the early to mid '80s that mostly retained its format, outliving KSJO, KOME and others by more than a decade.
I bring this up because it seems this may not last this way for long. The station just blew out its entire air staff save for two of its three morning show hosts, and they've been running promos saying "The evolution is coming on 4/20." I've heard rumors that it may transition to a more female-oriented adult alternative station, not unlike what Alice was a decade ago (before it just decided to be Star 101.3 2.0), but regardless I get the feeling KFOG won't be KFOG much longer. If that ends up being the case, I'd like to capture what the station's been playing in its final weeks. Consider this a supplement to my daily Live 105 postings.
