When Entercom management chose to scrap the Beautiful Music FM (KBRD), switching format to Alternative Rock (KMTT) in 1991, Lou Robbins was asked to stay on. KTAC began simulcasting the new KMTT “Mountain” AAA sound. He continued a few courses at Pierce College and made the nightly trek to Metropolitan Park West, for an all-niter at the new home of KMTT. All while working full-time daily at AT&T.
In 1993, he transferred to AT&T regional headquarters in Phoenix, where he picked up a weekend & fill-in gig at KOOL FM (Chancellor Broadcasting – May 1997-March 1999), the heritage Oldies station. The format was based on the personal record collection of programmer Jerry Osborne. Some programs were voice-tracked and syndicated nation-wide, to other stations copying the “KOOL” format and moniker.
