History

1980s-2024

KTCL, part of a joint sales agreement with KBPI and KRFX in 1995, moved to a more pop-oriented direction when KBPI began playing more new rock.[1] In the late 90s, the station dropped its longtime name "The Adventure" in favor or "Channel 93-3." In 2001, KTCL aired the daily program Martha Quinn's Rewind along with at least four other stations owned by Clear Channel.[2]

KTCL airplay was noted for having helped launch several local alternative bands, including Love .45, Flobots, 3OH!3, The Fray, and Tickle Me Pink.[3][4][5]
