Wow this is gold just hearing Miranda's voice again brings back so many memories. I miss this station with a passion. Bay area radio is dead, KKSF, KISS FM all sold out to IHATERADIO. please never take this down.
Me too. I'm so glad I was in the bay area during that time. I worked in the financial district (Kearny & Sutter) in SF. I had KKSF on for most of my workday in the office.
I started my undergrad studies at Sonoma State University in September 1989 and there was KKSF to get me through. I was in a bad situation at home and the music on KKSF kept me sane. And happy. I just read up about the folks who made it happen on Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOSF#HD_Broadcasting). Learned, among other things, the names of "the members of the group responsible for the development of the KKSF concept." And that they searched for "lesser-known imports and hard-to-find, out-of-print selections." I've been trying to re-create my own KKSF channel on Pandora but don't know the artists or the tracks I want aren't available.
Thank you so much for posting these videos and music for us all to enjoy. I'm a retired Carpenter / manager from the bay area and KKSF would sooth my rides to and from work.
OMG KKSF!!! these letters will permanently be over my heart... I cast my mind back in the late 90s when I was living in the Bay Area. Sundays were special having brunch listening to this magical and wonderful station. Im from Mexico, and every time I go to SFO I have to walk the Golden Gate wearing my headphones and listening to this music that I fortunatelly recorded in some tapes..
I miss this radio station I would listen to this radio station and I would also listen to koit I miss the Bay Area the 1980s 1990s the early 2000s music by the Bay I would also listen to khol 89.3 Thanks for the Memories

Does anyone remember the DJ who came on at around 10:00 p.m. during the 1985-87 era? I'd like to find a playlist from one of his shows. That guy was great!
Pixeltrainer It was Steve Feinstein he was the music programmer he mixed a large amount of styles, Jazz Fusion, New Age, River Dance Music, like combining Irish music and West African together. He knew how to push music and gave the artist a chance to market their music. Where Clear Channel Radio didn’t want that to happen. I really condemned Clear channel for control all of the radio stations nationwide I mean the metropolitan stations.
Hotel Nikko Sunday Brunch!! Wow.. I was in Miami around the time Clear Channel killed smooth jazz!! I was looking for there smooth jazz stations it was not to be found.:(
I really liked KKSF, KFOG, ALICE and KOIT back in the late 90's early 2K's. The bay area radio selection has gone to CRAP! All i listen to is XM now! If I have to hear FM i listen to 98.1 the breeze.
Back in the mid to late 90's through about 2001, I would listen to the radio all day. SF radio was FULL of great stations. I would frequently listen to Alice @ 97.3, KOIT, Live 105, KKSF, KGO, KCBS etc etc allllllllllll dayyyyyy.
@@iamtimfoleyAlice@97.3 is still around to this day. Alice@97.3: Yeah and I’m still fresh Live 105: Second I’m back dude. You can listen to Nickelback everyday now. KCBS: I still exist my guy! KFOG: I do sports now. KGO: Me too. KISQ: What’s wrong with me? I like the wind.

I still have a bunch of tapes of Lights Out shows. Unfortunately, the reception in Hayward wasn't always the greatest. I wish I had cared more about the titles and artists back then because I never wrote any of them down. I have to rely on Shazam now to identify the songs I don't know but it's not always accurate. Btw, I found it curious that even though they played some new age music on Lights Out, they never used the words "new age", at least I never heard it.

Wow this is gold just hearing Miranda's voice again brings back so many memories. I miss this station with a passion. Bay area radio is dead, KKSF, KISS FM all sold out to IHATERADIO. please never take this down.
Miranda has such a smoooooth voice. She was my favorite on KKSF.
I miss the old San Francisco... Late 90's Early 2000's
I do too, I live in Atlanta now and they had a sister station 107.5 WJZZ sadly they went away also.
Me too. I'm so glad I was in the bay area during that time. I worked in the financial district (Kearny & Sutter) in SF. I had KKSF on for most of my workday in the office.
I'm so glad this is on TH-cam. Commercials and all. I can sit back and pretend it's 1993 all over again. Thank you.
I was born and raised in Oakland and I listened to this station for years! I was sad when it was gone! Thanks for the memories! ❤️

Do you have any kksf lights out?
I still have a bunch of tapes of Lights Out shows. Unfortunately, the reception in Hayward wasn't always the greatest.

Nope, they never used those words on KKSF.
I had an Oakland condo near Amtrak with a view of SF and I remember my view with sunset and Lights Out SF
