King bought the station originally in the mid-80s when it was still
Top 40 WACZ, and turned it into a heavy metal/hard rock station
because he liked the music and no one else in the area played it.  I
think that format lasted 2 or 3 years before the un-sale-ability of
the format prompted a switch to talk.
IIRC the station changed hands a couple times in the 90s with King
somehow getting it back.
