KPWR 105.9 LOS ANGELES "Power 106" Joe The boomer Servantez Spring 1989

In its first seven years, KPWR's music selection focused on a mix of dance, house, freestyle, hip-hop, and urban pop, while avoiding hard rock. This mix of music became known as crossover (later called Rhythmic Top 40), due to the way in which dance and urban music were presented to an audience that liked pop, and vice versa.
This would become a major issue in the music trades after the station ascended to the top spot in the Los Angeles Arbitron ratings, where both Billboard and Radio & Records had debated as to what reporting panel it would place KPWR (as well as other stations that were using the same formula), which in turn resulted in Billboard launching a Crossover Chart and Radio & Records creating a CHR P1A subcategory in 1987.

So enjoy !
