"Crazy 89.5 FM",
Gardena, California 1994
Crazy 89.5 FM came on the air on
September 10th, 1994 in Gardena, California on Saturday afternoon utilizing a Realistic
Silent Play transmitter which was originally designed as a wireless stereo audio sender
for video game units. But, obviously, I had other intentions for that Silent Play
transmitter! Using a Realistic audio mixing board with various audio inputs including a
microphone input of course and feeding the output of the mixer into the audio input of the
Silent Play transmitter and powering the silent play with an external power source and
connecting a resonant 1/4 wave ground plane antenna to the transmitter to increase it's
range. The antenna was mounted on the wall in my bedroom. The first thing I played on this
new station of mine was the Enya CD. I played various things including oldies and church
sermons, etc.

"The Sound Of
Joy" 90.5 FM, Orem, Utah 1994
Because of a layoff situation at the
job I held in Los Angeles, I ended moving to Utah. (LDS I am not!) I moved into an
apartment in a town called Orem, Utah and reassembled my FM radio station and choose 90.5
as the frequency. At first I continued using my Slient Play, then shortly after I moved
in, I purchased a Ramsey FM-10A stereo transmitter kit, built it and put it on the air.
Most of the programming was Christian praise music and sermons. I covered most of Orem,
Utah with this signal as well as parts of the nearby city of Provo, Utah.

"South Provo
Radio" 90.5 FM, Provo, Utah 1995
Because of financial constraints, I
moved into a ground floor apartment in the Southern section of Provo, Utah. Because of
being on the ground floor with an indoor groundplane antenna, my station coverage was not
as good as it was in Orem, Utah. I continued using my Ramsey FM-10A transmitter and
playing a mixture of mainly Christian contemporary and praise music and sermons and now
and then, got radical and played some rock, reggae and even some hard metal.
"Spirit 96FM"
95.9 FM, Provo, Utah 1997
The Move to 95.9 began a new era as
"South Provo Radio" joined the Spanish Fork Broadcasting Family and became
"Spirit 96 FM" We began to improve the equipment, We purchased a new Transmitter
(Ramsey FM-25) and in 1998 began using a computer automation system and played a mixed bag
format during the week and Saturday and on Sunday a praise and worship format.

"Midi 95.9 FM",
Provo, Utah 1999
Another Spanish Fork Broadcasting
first??? Or something like that, in early 1999 we changed the format to an all MIDI format,
after hearing the quality of the XG format, we thought, what the heck and MIDI 95.9 was
born.

"Mix 95.9 FM",
Provo Utah, January 2000
Kicking off the new century, we decided
it would be easier to format both Mix in Spanish Fork (Which is our flagship station) and
Mix Provo the same, we flipped the Mix 95.9 FM in Spanish Fork to all Christian,
the Mix in Provo only carries music while Mix in Spanish Fork also
carries news and other programming.. if you'd like to see our playlist click the Playlist
on MIX 95.9/930 it is the same as ours.

"92.9
FM", Spanish Fork, Utah, April 2000
Well here we go again, in May
2000 we moved the station to Spanish Fork in with The Mix 95.9 and moved
frequency to 92.9..of course you can't have two stations on the air on the same
frequency at the same time..hee hee, keeping the Christian format and returning
the Mix to Rock & Roll and moved the news and all other satellite
programming to 92.9, we have also purchased more equipment to improve the sound
quality.

"92.9 The
Fish", Spanish Fork, Utah, January 2001
After fixing a piece of
equipment and FINALLY getting the thing to sound right we added a lot of music
and gave the station a make-over or image change and wa-la 92.9 The Fish was
born ... We think she is top quality now!!!!!!!!

"The Mix
95.9/92.9 FM", Spanish Fork, Utah, January 2002
After one year and due to
financial problems 92.9 The Fish gave up it's independent status and began
simulcasting The Mix 95.9. For our Christian audience we now offer extended
Christian programming on Sunday on The Mix.

"99.9 The Fox",
Spanish Fork, Utah, February 2003
Thanks to a generous donation
from my longtime friend Joe Goria, we were able to get new equipment and start
once again programming the station independently .....more to come.

"The
Death of a Friend" Payson, Utah, November 9, 2015
William "Bill" Wolverton
passed away from cancer early 11/9/2015 in Payson Utah, Without Bill
this station wouldn't have existed, he built all of the transmitters and
financed pretty much all of the equipment, he will be sorely missed.

"Mix
II", Spanish Fork, Utah, March 14, 2017
IT
RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are returning with a second
offering called Mix II, Mix II is dedicated to the memory of Bill
Wolverton, right now it is running our Desert Island list Monday through
Saturday and Christian music on Sunday, we will be making improvements
as we are able.

"Mix
II", Spanish Fork, Utah, May 1, 2017
Mix II begins regular
programming, visit the schedule page for details!

"Mix Combined" June 16, 2023
So we decided on May 15th to
unceremoniously combine the 2 stations into one program feed, the idea
was to preserve the best of both stations, the reason for this is the
rising cost of ...... well everything,. Mix 2 served Spanish Fork for 6
years.
-----------------------
The histories for "Crazy 89.5", "Sound Of Joy" and "South
Provo Radio" were written by Bill Wolverton who then owned the station, Spanish Fork
Broadcasting took over operations in September 1998 (kinda like an LMA), Bill continued on as
manager till April 2000 when Spanish Fork Broadcasting Purchased the station and
Moved it to Spanish Fork. Bill now works for SFB as station engineer, in 2003 Bill moved Colorado
and we moved the station with him, it
is still owned and operated by SFB and retains ALL rights
to it! Mach 1, 2011 Variety 104.7 closes and equipment is returned to SFB
