I've been away from Arizona for almost a decade. I know am living in Las Vegas. I was born/ raised in Tucson. I grew up listening to my mothers rock radio station, I'm sure you've heard of it...klpx 96.1& i can remember when she'd switch to 98 kupd..wasnt it back then a more classic hard rock/rock? When I got a little older & going to college I listen to kfma. I'd moved to st David, az (a teeny tiny little town w/o even a stoplight. 7 miles from benson & 16 miles from tombstone) I used to love a radio station and only one little am/fm radio would pick it up in my window..it was a phoenix radio station similar to kfma, but much better. And I can't believe this ...i must be getting older than I realize because im completely drawing a blank. What was this radio station? Howard stern used to be played weekend mornings, I believe. What the hell is wrong with my mind right now? Im not sure...too much of... something, or not enough of...? Lol! So I would really appreciate if you could explain what's happened? What's all changed? Kfma is no longer 92.1 and 100.3 was not Latino musica. Damn. And kupd was better than klpx, but ..is it the same sort of station it used to be?? Is it active rock now, I think I saw that somewhere.... Where is my 100.3?!? (was it called the edge possibly. I cannot flippin remember)
