The year was 1976. The date was March 15.On a bright spring day in the mid-1970s, precisely at noon, a brand-new voice came alive on the airwaves—one that would shape generations of music lovers, students, and community members across the Texas Panhandle.That voice was KACV-FM, Amarillo College’s FM90—a 100,000-watt, non-commercial radio station broadcasting at 89.9 FM across the Texas Panhandle.
Amarillo College’s FM90 will debut a new original radio show, Night Breeze, from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28 bringing listeners a mix of storytelling, music, and 1980s nostalgia. Created, written, and produced by AC mass media student Evan Banner Night Breeze takes inspiration from the moody, cinematic energy of Kenny Loggins’ song “Night watch. ”The track’s dark, synth-driven tone became the creative spark for what Evan describes as a retro, atmospheric experience that feels like tuning into a mysterious late-night show from another time.
