The year 1990 in radio involved some significant events. ==Events== *KJJO in Minneapolis, Minnesota transitions from active rock to alternative rock. *KBLN in Dallas, Texas becomes KXEB. *Daytimer KKDA in Dallas, Texas begins nighttime broadcasting. *Emmis Communications sells several of their most noteworthy stations to offset losses from the purchase of the Seattle Mariners, including KXXX in San Francisco, WAVA-FM in Washington, DC and WLOL in Minneapolis, Minnesota. *Nationwide Communications sells off WGAR 1220-AM in Cleveland, which was a direct simulcast of country WGAR 99.5-FM, to Douglas Broadcasting. WGAR-AM signs off at midnight on July 13 after airing a brief retrospective on the station, highlighted with tributes from station alumni Jack Paar and Don Imus. The station relaunches as WKNR a few minutes later, carrying a satellite-delivered oldies format, but would gradually assume an all-sports lineup in less than a year. *June – KNRJ/Houston flipped from Rhythmic CHR to Alternative Rock. The Alternative format would last only 5 weeks, and was promoted as a temporary format while the station's owners, Nationwide Communications, began researching the market for a new format. *July 20 – Nationwide's KNRJ flips to Hot AC as KHMX, "Mix 96.5." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1990 in radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
