680 AM KASR was the campus radio station of Arizona State University. Broadcasting Yearbooks from that time don't include KASR as they were probably an unlicensed carrier current station. The video below are local news reports about a 63-hour Thanksgiving holiday marathon airshift by two KASR DJs in 1987.

Lites
There are (way too) many "Lite FM" stations in North America, almost all of which are Adult Contemporary outlets. Not sure why everybody spells it "Lite" instead of "Light". The only exception I've ever seen is CHRE "Light 105.7 Niagara's Light Rock" in St. Catharines, Ontario. "Light" or "The Light" stations are almost exclusively Religious stations.
