1993 in radio

The year 1993 in radio involved some significant events.

Events

  • January: The Quad Cities' KSTT call letters are retired as 1170 AM is given the new call sign KJOC, reflecting that station's all-sports format. The station had been simulcasting WXLP's FM signal for the past four years, although its sports programming had been steadily increasing during that time.
  • February 19: KBEQ/Kansas City drops its top-40 format of 20 years as "Q-104" to go country as "Young Country 104." It would initially be simulcast on KBZR 1030, which had been airing Z-Rock. The "Q-104" handle would return a few years later, but the format would remain country.
  • March: After 40-plus years in its hometown, KFMH (99.7 FM) moves its studios from Muscatine, Iowa to Davenport.
  • March 13: WEGX/Philadelphia becomes WJJZ.
  • April 2: After 20 years as an influential Top 40 station, WRBQ-FM/Tampa flipped to country, while keeping its heritage "Q105" moniker. Also on this day, KQLZ/Los Angeles flipped from Pirate Radio and its rock format to Soft AC as "EZ 100.3" after Westwood One sold the station to Viacom.

    Promise Me You'll Remember

    by: Nino Rota

    Promise me you'll remember
    This love together today
    We may not have tomorrow
    It's not for us to say
    Fate isn't kind to lovers
    It breaks the hardest hearts
    Promise you'll remember
    How good we are
    Why do I find the sadness
    Under your sweetest kiss
    Destiny seems to whisper
    It won't stay like this
    Whenever we're together
    I feel time standing still
    I only know I love you
    And I always will
    If we should lose each other
    Somewhere inside the dark
    Promise me you'll remember
    How good we are
    Whenever we're together
    I feel time standing still
    I only know I love you
    And I always will
    If we should lose each other
    Somewhere inside the dark
    Promise me you'll remember
    How good we are
    Time isn't kind to lovers
    It breaks the hardest hearts
    Promise me you'll remember
