KXOA was a Sacramento, California, USA, radio station that existed on both AM and FM (in various incarnations) between 1945 and 2004. It was mainly a Top 40 station for most of its AM existence and programmed a very successful "light rock" format that lasted nearly two decades, but also experimented with other formats on both AM and FM.
KXOA began broadcasting in 1945. Originally, the station was located on the 1490 kilocycles frequency on the AM dial, but moved to 1470 a few years after its debut. The original programming can be described as traditional MOR/block programming.
In the early 1950s there was also KXOB (1280 kHz, Stockton) and KXOC (1060 kHz, Chico) which, along with KXOA, were affiliates of the Mutual Don Lee (MBS) radio network. It is likely these stations had common ownership. Later, KXOB became KJOY, and KXOC became KPAY. (Cf. various editions, White's Radio Log)
In the late 1950s, KXOA-AM changed to a Top 40 format. The station battled KGMS (1380) and Stockton-based KGDM (1140) for success in reaching the teen audience. KXOA would beat both of these stations for ratings success. The aforementioned stations would change to MOR and Country (as KRAK), respectively, in the early 1960s. However, KXOA’s major battle took place when KROY (1240) changed to Top 40 in February 1960.

Shhhh - Be very very quiet
It's woman season - I'm woman hunting
Every time I go woman hunting
It always seems to blow up in my face
I never really get the things I want
I'm not expecting a pity party or nothing
Any girl'd be nice every now and then
I'm a nice guy - I bathe
Sure I got blue arms - So what?
It doesn't make me a bad person
One example - Just last night I had it all ready
The girl that walked out on me on New years Eve
Well she came back last night
And she said, "I don't have to go home tonight."
I said, "All right."
So - I bought again a case of cold, cold Heiniken
And then - I had it in the van
A big bottle of Jack Daniels
Not the little one, the big one
And I always carry a stash, cause you never know
I had two left, two ludes, for the girl of my dreams
Now,again, she drinks my beer
She drinks my whiskey
She does my Qualudes
5 o'clock comes
"Oh I feel sick - I gotta go home now."
And she threw up all over the floor
I said, "Freeze, freeze - go outside and do that!"
I said, "The hell with this. I don't need this."
"I'll go to the geisha house where it's free."
So I said, "Quit, quit throwing up"
"Don't tell me no, tell me yeah yeah yeah"
Don't tell me no tell me yeah yeah yeah
And she threw up again
Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that
