KAAY Updates from a reader

Beaker Street started back up on The Point 94.1 Sunday night. The first song played was Circle of Friends by Joni Mitchell, which was the last song played on old KAAY. He started with that because KAAY was located in the Cottondale building where The Point currently resides.
For people that used to work at KAAY in the Cottondale building here is how things have progressed.
When KAAY moved out, Phillip Jonsson bought 94.1 and moved KLRA in. After Brother Hal retired, changes to AM 1010 occured.
About fifteen years ago, SignalMedia bought KKYK and eventually turned it into a talk station. Westinghouse bought 1010 AM and shut it down.
The building has been renovated over the years and the old KAAY studio has been converted to offices.
2400 Cottondale Ln. is currently home to The Point 94.1 ( a classic rock station), and 103.7 The Buzz
(a sports talk station).
The Point studio is at the NE corner of the building and The
Buzz studio is at the SE Corner.
