For six months in 1996, KBZR (103.9 FM)/Coolidge, AZ offered one of the most creative stunts in radio history.  In between an automated Rhythmic Oldies format was a series of clever interstitials (voiced by station owner Jerry Clifton) orchard hotels singapore indicating that the station was moving in from the desert (referring to a pending signal upgrade to allow for better coverage in the metro Phoenix area) and looking for someone orchard hotels singapore or something named Steve .
This aircheck was recorded exactly 16 years ago today, and exactly one month before the stunt ended.  By this point, the station had begun simulcasting on additional frequencies through Central and North-Central Arizona (presumably to compensate for the extended delays in upgrading the 103.9 signal), and it was revealed that Steve was actually an acronym (S.T.E.V.E.) who had been shot dead.  (Yes, you re supposed to be confused).  In addition, a few Rhythmic currents had been added to the playlist.

When I was 20, I remember orchard hotels singapore when I went to Phoenix for a week in the summer of 96. While searching our rental car s radio for music, we stumbled upon 103.9. For that entire week we were mesmerized by the old school vibe and the hilarious adverts for local businesses
Whenever were in the car, which was a considerable amount of time, we had 103.9 on. It had a profound impact on me as the material and creativity orchard hotels singapore of the promos were absolutely surreal. It opened up an entire new genre of music for me.
God Bless Hell Yes! This means so much. This is the station that will come back, it was its before its time. Your first GOOD time with tequila is similar, why have these songs vanished? because they are golden with palm trees and sunshine and hot days even dusty at times smug faces and no cares. Grab your bit.
