KMET’s station identification jingle, “A Little Bit of Heaven, Ninety-Four Point Seven – KMET – Tweedle-Dee” was originally written by Shadoe Stevens and the song was sung by the Pointer Sisters during an interview on his show. This ID “jingle” came to be emblematic for KMET.

Arguably, 1978 was the pinnacle year at the station. The line-up was impressive. Jeff Gonzer, Bob Coburn, Cynthia Fox, Jack Snyder, Mary Turner, and Jim Ladd. Ace Young and Patrick ‘Paraquat’ Kelley provided the breaking news and views of the day.

KMET became legendary and popular as “The Mighty ‘MET” for its freeform style in letting DJs choose the music without genre restrictions and an irreverent, loose and laidback presentation of the music. In the early 1980s, however, Metromedia changed the presentation and sound of KMET to a more conventional album-oriented rock (AOR) format. In the process, KMET quickly became a shell of its former self: playlists were tightened and hit-oriented, disc jockeys became less personal in their presentation, and the station was heavily constructed by outside consultants.

It signed off permanently on February 14, 1987 after a 21-year run on air. It signed off its album rock format at noon with The Beatles’ “Golden Slumbers Medley” (Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight / The End).
