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.
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.
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.
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
I live in Monterey and would love to attend the KKSF free concerts at Stern Grove. Great musicians, great vibes, great memories. Thanks for the post Glenn.

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.

Miranda has such a smoooooth voice. She was my favorite on KKSF.
I'm so glad this is on RUclips. 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! ❤️
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.
WOW! That's really takes me back and warms my heart. Thanks for posting this one Glenn. I haven't heard this one, EVER!
Miranda Wilson , wow I truly KKSF, all the personalities that brought the Bay Area with the good music....remember...music without boarders !
So good to hear Miranda’s voice again, truly miss KKSF, seemed to define the Bay Area with good music regardless of the time of day
Thank you so much. I miss KKSF tremendously.
