The End of "Fabulous"


Tuesday the 31st is when the staff at XTRA 690 is terminated. Music continues through February 4th. The new staff takes over on Feb 5th. It's possible that a new Spanish language talk format will appear (the 9th anniversary of KSCA changing to a Spanish-language music format).

This from morning man/PD Brad Chambers:

Thank You! 35 years in radio could never prepare me for the outpouring of
love and support, the friendship and kinship you've shown not only us, but that
you've extended to other members of our Fabulous Family. Tuesday January 31 is
our last day. The new owners don't take over till 2/5, but we will say our
goodbyes on Tuesday. Please join us through these last days so we can say thank
you - and have some fun, celebrating this Fabuous Family and our 3-year love
affair with the Greatest Songs ever written and the greatest listeners ever to
tune in to a radio station. I hope you'll join us for our October 12 Reunion
Cruise with Holland America Cruise Lines and YMT Vacations. Thank you, and we
WILL meet again.

And the final word:

THE PARTY IS OVER - Our 3-year
love affair with the Greatest Songs Ever Written is over Tuesday. We got
the word today that even though the new owners won't actually take over until
February 5th, our company will terminate the staff on Tuesday - so even
though we're all gone, the music continues for a few more
days - Tuesday morning at 9, we kick off our countdown of the
songs most suggested by YOU for the last song to be played on Fabulous 690
- The Lounge. Tuesday afternoon, Daisy Torme will announce the winner
of the contest to name our last song. We are all so grateful for you,
for your support, your encouragement, your prayers and your love. It might sound
corny but our Fabulous Family has helped us get through this very difficult
period. Listen, Listen, Listen...and tell all your friends to tune in these last
few days. And thank you!
