[IRCA] 850 WKIX Raleigh, NC Call Sign and Format Change

[Mike Hardester <Cherokee2Lakota@xxxxxxxxx>]

850    WKIX    NC.,    Raleigh (xWRBZ) with a program change from 
business oriented to oldies of late 50's into the 60's. Noted oldies 
being played on 3/1, but didn't hear an ID and signal was poor. Noted 
today, 3/3 @ 1150-1205 with ID, one slogan noted "W K I X  Channel 
Eighty-Five." Local spot noted, along with one for "Odor Eaters." Signal 
today was good to fair - UNID stn weakly under WKIX. Promos state "Imus 
in the Morning," "CNN News," and the return of "DJs you know." Of note, 
CNN News not heard at top or bottom of hour -- checked several times 
today. So, maybe a feature to come. Local weather (sounded like a 
TV/professional weather person) each hour (seems +/- TOH). (MH-NC)

On a personal note, I logged this station (then WKIX) from my hometown 
of Modesto, CA, on 17 March 1969 @ 0615 ELT. I called the station (as 
some of us were known to do back then) and they reported my reception on 
the air. Almost 41 years ago? AARGH!!  "Those were the days...."
