What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey?


I am older so my radio stations of influence were in their prime during the British invasion and many, many American singers and groups.  
The stations I listen to the most were WLS out of Chicago, KIOA out of Des Moines, KAAY out of Little Rock, Arkansas and KOMA  out of Oklahama.  When I was in the Air Froce I had a few stations near the main base I was stationed at outside of Rapid City, S.D.  
Of course systems and better and better systems and FM became the dominate source for broadcast/online music.  I did learn much of what I liked and eventually purchased through early radio listening.
I still listen to radio mainly for Jazz stations and NPR news.

In Des Moines, IA Beaker Street (Little Rock?) in the 60’s/70’s and KFMG starting around 1970 until I moved to Los Angeles in 1977.

In LA it was usually KROQ (Rodney on the ROQ) and later on added a Reggae show hosted by Roger Stevens (sp?).

I recall picking up Beaker Street (car radio) as far North as Minnepolis starting around midnight when attending concerts in the area.
