Cat Country Billings Turns 33 On Monday: A Brief History
Instead of my usual Friday Fragments, I want to reflect on some of the memories that pop up when I think back to the beginning of what we've built here over the years.
The 102.9 signal switched to something called "Cat Country" on March 1st, 1988. We were the first radio station in Billings to play all of our music from compact discs. And "Fritz" the inflatable cat was the first of its kind in this area.
All of the air staff was required to wear tuxedos for all remote broadcasts and concert emcee duties. (I haven't worn won since.)
