History

KEXP (903 FM) is a public Radio station based in Seattle Washington, that specializes in independent and Alternative rock programmed KEXP wished to extend their signal into the South Sound, and simulcast its regular program on the station, changing its call letters to KXOT.

The station began as KTOY in the 1960s and during the day was manned by Bates Technical College broadcasting students studying under former KJR_(AM) DJ Lee Perkins. KJR (950 AM, "Sports Radio 950 KJR" is an all-sports Radio station based in Seattle Washington, owned by Clear Channel Communications During the late 1970's until the mid 1980's, starting at midnight on Friday and lasting until 6:00 Sunday, KTOY broadcast Hip Hop (including electro) and urban music under the moniker "Giving You The Music of Tomorrow, Today" (during 1983-1984 the late night hip-hop catch phrase was "R&B's best in the Pacific Northwest" It was often used during station ID's). This format lasted from 1978 to 1984. By 1985, the format was no longer the entire weekend and by 1986, the station removed the KTOY ID and it reverted to calling itself KBTC from Bates Technical College. For a while, in the late '80s and early '90s, it was known as KTPS. The station only played Hip Hop and Urban music on Sunday for two hours in the form of a top 20 countdown.
