KROI FM
In 1975, KROY had moved to facilities in Old Sacramento. The earlier idea of an FM companion station came to fruition at 96.9 MHz on the dial. KROI, signed on the air to complement KROY's programming at first using an automated Top 40 format from syndicator Concept Productions. KROY continued to have high ratings and held its status as Sacramento's number one contemporary station with deejays like Uncle Byron Paul and T.N. Tanaka, Jeff “Mother” Robbins, Cleveland Wheeler, Tony Cox, Dancing Danny Wright, Tom Chase, Russ Martin, Barry Fyffe, Bobby Box and many others.
By 1980 new ownership had changed the FM's call letters to match the AM, becoming KROY as well. Unfortunately the new owners weren't that successful at running the operation and found their audience shrinking with increased competition from stations like KZAP and K-108 (KXOA-FM). In 1981 KROY finally changed its popular Top 40 format and went to album rock. The switch didn't work as ratings declined further. So one year later, in 1982, the call letters were dropped, albeit temporarily.
