  KPEN

Originally founded as KLX-FM by the Oakland Tribune newspaper, the station was
sold in 1957 to James Gabbert, a Stanford University engineering major, fellow
student Gary M. Gielow, and realtor John S. Wickett. The three launched the
station as KPEN on October 27, 1957. At the time, KPEN was a PENinsula station
licensed to Atherton, California, broadcasting at a mere 1500 watts from a
transmitter on Kings Mountain in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The station soon put
an emphasis on high audio quality, in contrast to other FM stations that did not
take advantage of FM broadcasting capabilities.

During the day, KPEN played mostly orchestral pop music, switched to a lighter
blend of background "dinner music" in the early evening, then classical music
after 8 PM. Eventually Gabbert and Gielow hosted an evening program called
"Excursions in Sound," which showcased high fidelity recordings and took
advantage of the high quality broadcast signal.

Two years after KPEN's successful debut, the transmitter was moved to San Bruno
Mountain and power increased to 35,000 watts. Then, on August 14, 1964, power
was further increased to 125,000 watts, making it the most powerful signal west
of the Mississippi River (it was grandfathered in at that power level by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which capped stations in that part of
the country at 50,000 watts).

KPEN became the first station west of the Mississippi to broadcast in multiplex
stereo, officially beginning August 10, 1961, after a series of field tests.[1]
KPEN's technological achievements were recognized by the Electronic Industry
Association, the FCC, and President John F. Kennedy. "Excursions in Sound" was
renamed "Excursions in Stereo"; hosted by James Gabbert, the show focused on
recordings that made good use of stereo. Gabbert also had a Sunday afternoon
show "Anything Goes" that played music, sound effects, and almost anything that
dramatically demonstrated the stereo effect.

In the 1960s the station moved studios from Atherton to San Francisco, first in
a south-of-Market location, then to Nob Hill in a luxurious penthouse atop 1001
California Street at the corner of Mason Street. With this move, the "PEN" in
KPEN changed from representing PENinsula to representing PENthouse. (The same
penthouse was later the home of Randolph Hearst, father of kidnapped Patty
Hearst.)

By the mid-1960s, KPEN played primarily orchestral and light vocal performances
of pop songs and standards, in competition with similar FM station KFOG (owned
by Kaiser Broadcasting).


  K-101

On December 1, 1968, KPEN changed its call letters to KIOI ("K-101"), considered
an innovative matching of call letters to dial position. Eventually the station
added pop and rock music to its MOR playlist, to compete with upstart freeform
rock stations KMPX and KSAN. Gabbert aggressively began promoting the station
via outdoor advertising, which was a first for the market. "K-101" is likely the
first station in the country to develop what is now called the adult
contemporary format.

During the 1970s, Gabbert developed another lasting technological achievement as
K-101 became the first station in the country to develop circular polarization,
which was a key element to FM reception in automobiles, which previously was
difficult.

In September 1980, Gabbert sold K-101 to Charter Communications for $12.5
million, then the highest price paid for an FM station. He then purchased
KEMO-TV (Channel 20) in San Francisco, changing the call letters to KTZO ("TV
20"). Gabbert later returned to local radio when he purchased KHIT-FM, KOFY
(1050 AM) and KDIA (1310 AM). K-101 was profitable, however, various management
tweaked the format to compete with market leader KOIT at various times, leaning
softer-AC, yet at times, would lean towards the full Hot AC format.


  STAR 101.3

During the late 1990's, K-101 was flanked by soft AC KOIT and the emerging CHR
KZQZ and suffered in the ratings. The re-emergence of the CHR format by core
artists such as Backstreet Boys, NSync, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera
forced K-101 to a Hot AC format and re-branded itself as "The New K-101." The
station remained competitive, however, clearly suffered an identity crisis as
the ratings did not improve with the Hot AC approach. In 2000, the station
rebranded itself as "Star 101.3" and debuted an exclusive 80s format that had
been successful in other markets, especially in San Jose on sister station
(Channel 104.9-KCNL) as well as Portland and Seattle. Star 101.3 was programmed
by KCNL Program Director Gary Schoenwetter, who brought San Francisco legend and
former KITS-FM jock Steve Masters for Afternoon Drive. Though the station
performed well for a while with its 80s format, management decided to take the
station back to the Hot AC format and abandoned the 80s format in January 2002,
while letting go Schoenwetter, Masters, and other on-air talent.

Throughout the changes, local morning host Don Bleu has remained consistent and
more importantly, a ratings success through various co-hosts Renee Brinkley
(1998–2002), Uzette Salazar (2002–2006), April Sommers (2006–2010) and Trish
Jentz (2010–Present). Bleu is a Minnesota native formerly of KYUU in San
Francisco and KDWB in Minneapolis. Popular show segments during Bleu's morning
show include Bleuper calls (prank calls to unsuspecting listeners), The Daily
Dish (entertainment gossip), and the Bleu Room, an in-studio lounge session that
featured acts including Dido, Natasha Bedingfield, Matchbox Twenty and others
performing acoustic versions of their hits.

Since June 30, 2008, afternoon drive has been hosted by the nationally
syndicated On-Air with Ryan Seacrest program with cut-aways to local traffic by
Dina Lawrence. Also in the line-up is the Hot Adult Contemporary version of
American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest, which airs on Sunday mornings. Due to
cost-cutting measures, Bleu is the only live host on KIOI-FM, yet continues to
be a ratings success.


  STAR 101.3 HD

On January 19, 2006, Star 101.3 entered the HD Radio world with an HD-2 channel.
The channel was originally an All '80s music format, reflecting back to the days
when the station used to air '80s hits upon rebranding itself as Star 101.3 from
K-101. The music featured the best songs from the 1980s from acts like The
Police, Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cindy Lauper, and more.

Lettris

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square
shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares
disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words
(left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.

boggle

Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can
in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must
be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall
of Fame !
