THE LEGEND OF KZAP
by Alex Cosper
Read all about the legendary rock station that Sacramentans still talk about.
From its inception in 1968 to it farewell in 1992, here's a lot of research that can't be found
anywhere else on the internet. I wrote this story based on hours of interviews
with the people that made this great station happen. Some of those radio pioneers
included Charlie Weiss, Dennis Newhall, Jeff Hughson, Cary Nosler, Robert Williams,
Mick Martin and many others.
This report has always been a work
in progress and I am always looking for more information to add to the story. What fascinates
me about KZAP is the community spirit that it generated. It will long be remembered as the station
that gave people reasons to listen, since it was an active, informative and entertaining station
through the years. Read about KZAP became Sacramento's top rock station in the 1980s at Playlist Research.
