Revisiting The Rock Station That 'Dared To Be Different'

100.7 WXXP

Only on the air from 1986 until 1988, radio station WXXP fostered unexpected cultural changes in western Pennsylvania and left a lasting impact on thousands of fans. Stacy Zavala, who grew up in Mt. Pleasant, recalls FM 100.7 “was the start of everything.”

JazzWorks host Bob Studebaker revisits the rock and roll station that "Dared to be Different." Join its cast of characters for a “Double X” reunion show Saturday, Nov. 28 at Stage A.E.

Bob is a host for JazzWorks. Bob has been working in different areas of the radio industry for 33 years. He thinks “public radio is a forum for ideas and entertainment unavailable on commercial radio and that makes it indispensable.” Bob is a lifelong Pittsburgher who married and raised both of his children in his home city.
