Radio in the Movies #6 - "A.M. Mayhem"

"A.M. Mayhem" is a documentary about Tucson, Arizona's first Hip-Hop station "Power 1490" KJYK. I haven't seen the film myself because the only public showing was last night at the Fox Theatre in Tucson although it is also available on DVD.

"Power 1490" played Hip-Hop and Rap from 1991 to 1995. They then switched to Modern Rock KKND "The End"--an abrupt format flip that remained a mystery but is apparently explained in the movie. Watch the trailer below:

KNST

Clear Channel Communications took down a suddenly distasteful billboard last Thursday in Tucson, Arizona. The ad for Rush Limbaugh's radio program said "Straight Shooter" and showed a few bullet holes and the logo for 790 KNST. On January 8, six people were killed and 14 others injured when a madman shot into the crowd at a speech by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in front of a Tucson grocery store. The provocative rhetoric of conservative talk radio was blamed by some for the violence.


KNST is a News/Talk station in Tucson. Arizona.

I'm not sure what the A represents on this sticker. At first I thought it was the logo for the University of Arizona but that A is slightly different. Anybody know?
