[edit] History of the KUTE callsign
KUTE 102 (101.9 MHz) was an R&B radio station in Los Angeles, California, United States.
It was also a Disco station in the late 1970s and during the 1980s it was one of the original stations in the United States to launch a format that would later become a staple for Urban contemporary and Urban Adult Contemporary stations today, "The Quiet Storm". It featured local DJs such as "Humble Harve", Brian Roberts and "Lucky Pierre." At 2:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings, KUTE 102 would host an hour of disco/dance mixes, usually pre-mixed vinyl albums specially created for DJs.
That format would last until 1987, when the station was sold to Gene Autry's Golden West Broadcasting, who would later replace it with an eclectic Rock format.
