HISTORY

"Crazy 89.5 FM", Gardena, California 1994

Crazy 89.5 FM came on the air on September 10th, 1994 in Gardena, California on Saturday afternoon utilizing a Realistic Silent Play transmitter which was originally designed as a wireless stereo audio sender for video game units. But, obviously, I had other intentions for that Silent Play transmitter! Using a Realistic audio mixing board with various audio inputs including a microphone input of course and feeding the output of the mixer into the audio input of the Silent Play transmitter and powering the silent play with an external power source and connecting a resonant 1/4 wave ground plane antenna to the transmitter to increase it's range. The antenna was mounted on the wall in my bedroom. The first thing I played on this new station of mine was the Enya CD. I played various things including oldies and church sermons, etc.

"The Sound Of Joy" 90.5 FM, Orem, Utah 1994

Because of a layoff situation at the job I held in Los Angeles, I ended moving to Utah. (LDS I am not!) I moved into an apartment in a town called Orem, Utah and reassembled my FM radio station and choose 90.5 as the frequency. At first I continued using my Slient Play, then shortly after I moved in, I purchased a Ramsey FM-10A stereo transmitter kit, built it and put it on the air. Most of the programming was Christian praise music and sermons. I covered most of Orem, Utah with this signal as well as parts of the nearby city of Provo, Utah.

"South Provo Radio" 90.5 FM, Provo, Utah 1995

Because of financial constraints, I moved into a ground floor apartment in the Southern section of Provo, Utah. Because of being on the ground floor with an indoor groundplane antenna, my station coverage was not as good as it was in Orem, Utah. I continued using my Ramsey FM-10A transmitter and playing a mixture of mainly Christian contemporary and praise music and sermons and now and then, got radical and played some rock, reggae and even some hard metal.

"Spirit 96FM" 95.9 FM, Provo, Utah 1997

The Move to 95.9 began a new era as "South Provo Radio" joined the Spanish Fork Broadcasting Family and became "Spirit 96 FM" We began to improve the equipment, We purchased a new Transmitter (Ramsey FM-25) and in 1998 began using a computer automation system and played a mixed bag format during the week and Saturday and on Sunday a praise and worship format.

"Midi 95.9 FM", Provo, Utah 1999

Another Spanish Fork Broadcasting first??? Or something like that, in early 1999 we changed the format to an all MIDI format, after hearing the quality of the XG format, we thought, what the heck and MIDI 95.9 was born.

"Mix 95.9 FM", Provo Utah, January 2000

Kicking off the new century, we decided it would be easier to format both Mix in Spanish Fork (Which is our flagship station) and Mix Provo the same, we flipped the Mix 95.9 FM in Spanish Fork to all Christian, the Mix in Provo only carries music while Mix in Spanish Fork also carries news and other programming..if you'd like to see our playlist click the Playlist on MIX 95.9/930 it is the same as ours.

"92.9 FM", Spanish Fork, Utah, April 2000

Well here we go again, in May 2000 we moved the station to Spanish Fork in with The Mix 95.9 and moved frequency to 92.9..of course you can't have two stations on the air on the same frequency at the same time..hee hee, keeping the Christian format and returning the Mix to Rock & Roll and moved the news and all other satellite programming to 92.9, we have also purchased more equipment to improve the sound quality.

"92.9 The Fish", Spanish Fork, Utah, January 2001

After fixing a piece of equipment and FINALLY getting the thing to sound right we added a lot of music and gave the station a make-over or image change and wa-la 92.9 The Fish was born ... We think she is top quality now!!!!!!!!

"The Mix 95.9/92.9 FM", Spanish Fork, Utah, January 2002

After one year and due to financial problems 92.9 The Fish gave up it's independent status and began simulcasting The Mix 95.9. For our Christian audience we now offer extended Christian programming on Sunday on The Mix.

"The Mix 95.9/99.9 FM", Spanish Fork, Utah, May 2002

Moved to 99.9 for better coverage.

"99.9 The Fox", Spanish Fork, Utah, February 2003

Thanks to a generous donation from my longtime friend Joe Goria, we were able to get new equipment and start once again programming the station independently .....more to come.

"Black Sunday" July 6, 2003

99.9 The Fox discontinues operations

"Variety 93.9", Aurora, Colorado, January 2005

Yes it's back but in another state

"Variety 93.7", Denver, Colorado, April 2007

After a relocation, we are back on the air, serving a slightly wider area, but still part-15
