That Alternative 70s Show

That Alternative 70s Show It's about the music. Each week, we examine a different year of music from 1970-1979. So grab your headphones and join us for the ride!

We play alternative and underground rock from the 1970s: The non-hits of Bowie, Queen, Elton, plus all the bands and track Classic Rock radio ignores. We will also explore themes in 70s music, spotlight those producers and engineers who worked behind the scenes, and showcase the best 70s artists you may have missed. Excellent Radio KYXZ 107.9 FM is located in Grover Beach, California inside the lo

cal establishment A Hole In The Sky. Sometimes, there may be delays in transitioning from Mega-Seg to Live Programming due to the necessity of taking care of customers first. When you hear birds chirping, we are on our way!
