1) Houston’s five-way CHR battle of spring 1980 (and, to an extent, the whole market). There was KRBE, a ’70s high-energy holdover under Clay Gish where the band Kiss was still a core artist. (Not a bad thing.) KRLY was evolving from Disco to Top 40 and doing one of the first “outrageous stunt” contests. The new KFMK was an unusual mix of CHR and Urban AC. There was also KAUM and KILT-AM, both in their last year as Top 40. It was also a time of incredible musical cross-polination. Country KIKK played “Fire” by the Pointer Sisters. Urban KMJQ (Majic 102)–itself a dynasty at that time–played “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross.
