Cosmo Kramer
Cosmo Kramer, usually referred to as simply "Kramer", is a fictional character on the American television sitcom Seinfeld (1989–1998), played by Michael Richards.
The character is loosely based on comedian Kenny Kramer, Larry David's ex-neighbor across the hall. Kramer is the friend and neighbor of main character Jerry, residing in Apartment 5B, and is friends with George and Elaine. Of the series' 4 central characters, only Kramer has no visible means of support; what few jobs he holds seem to be nothing more than larks.
His trademarks include his upright hairstyle and vintage wardrobe, whose combination led Elaine to characterize him as a "hipster doofus"; his taste in fresh fruit; love of occasional smoking, Cuban cigars in particular; bursts through Jerry's apartment door; frequent pratfalls and penchant for nonsensical, percussive outbursts of noise to indicate skepticism, agreement, irritation and a variety of other feelings. He's been described as "an extraordinary cross between Eraserhead and Herman Munster". Kramer appeared in all but 2 episodes: "The Chinese Restaurant" and "The Pen", in the second and third seasons, respectively.
KHDK
KHDK (97.3 FM "Hot 97.3") is a Top 40 (CHR) radio station based in Burlington, Iowa, USA. It is owned by the Pritchard Broadcasting Corporation.
Before KHDK
Before CHR made its 2006 debut in the Burlington-Fort Madison area on 97.3, the station was known as KKNL (K K New London). KKNL was actually a simulcast of 93.5 KKMI to provide a better signal to Mount Pleasant, as the 93.5 signal is hard to receive in the Mount Pleasant Area. The simulcast lasted for four years, until late-2005 when KKNL broke away from KKMI, emerging as the Tri-States New Hit Music Channel: Hot 97 dot 3.
Syndicated shows
Hot 97.3 syndicates numerous radio shows. "Kidd Kraddick in the Mornings" is the stations flagship syndicated show. On the weekends they also syndicate "Rick Dees Weekly Top 40", "Hollywood Hamilton Weekend Top 30", and "The Hollywood 5".
On-air staff
The station airs The Kid Kraddick Morning show weekday mornings followed by Johnny B (10a-3p) Savanna (3pm-7pm) and Mikey J (7pm-mid)

CIHT-FM
CIHT-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 89.9 FM in Ottawa, Ontario with a CHR format branded as Hot 89.9. The station is owned and operated by Newcap Radio. CIHT's studios are located on Antares Drive in Nepean, while its transmitter is located in Camp Fortune, Quebec.
History
The station was licensed by the CRTC in 2001 to broadcast a Rhythmic CHR/dance format known as "The Planet 89.9". The station launched on February 7, 2003 as "The New Hot 89.9" under a rhythmic CHR format, but flipped to its current format after 105.3 Kiss FM signed on the air in 2004. Both CIHT and CHBN-FM in Edmonton share the distinction of having been shifted from rhythmic top 40 to Top 40 in less than a year after their 2003 sign-ons.
Ottawa was the largest market Newcap owned radio stations until its expansion into Toronto and Vancouver in 2014, thanks to the purchase of five stations from a blind trust being ran by Bell Media as part of their merger with Astral Media. Even while they were the only English top 40 station in Ottawa, it is one of the few top 40 stations in Canada to continue supporting older music, making CIHT lean towards more of a hot adult contemporary direction than most top 40 stations in Canada, but on March 31, 2014, CIHT picked up new competition with CKQB's flip from active rock to a rhythmic-leaning Top 40/CHR presentation as "JUMP 106.9," a move that prompted CIHT to back off from the Hot AC fare and become more hit-driven with more currents.
HOT-17
HOT-17, or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(β-isobutylthio)-N-hydroxyphenethylamine, is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was presumably first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and reported in his book, PiHKAL (Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved).

Waco is a populated place and former town site located in Yellowstone County, Montana, United States. The elevation is 2,785 feet (849 m).
History
Waco
Once a station on the Northern Pacific Railroad east of Billings, Waco had a few local accommodations and an active post office from 1907 to 1918. Waco was an agriculturally based community on the south side of the Yellowstone River, situated just off Custer Frontage Road. The region is still used for agriculture and a number of ranches have developed around it, but the town itself is no longer inhabited. Today Waco is a ghost town, with a few closed off streets and a small number of standing structures. Though a majority of the buildings have either collapsed or have been removed, enough are still standing to make for a true and recognizable ghost town that is partially accessible.
Fee
Less than a mile East of Waco also lies the site of Fee. A nearby stop that also supported a short lived community. Nothing remains of Fee today.
