My conjecture is that all those stations that have Kate IDs got them around the time of "Running Up That Hill". At that time KITS had a completely different format, so naturally they didn't get an ID. Now it's too late. Any counter-examples? That brings me to my question about Bay Area radio, for all of you who lived here in the Bay Area in the fall of 1985, as I did. At the time I was listening mostly to Top 40 stations on the radio. Yet I NEVER heard RUTH, even when it was a top 40 hit. In fact, I didn't realize Kate had a single/album out for several months! (At that time I didn't know a single other Kate fan, so there was no place I could turn to for information.) I assume it was played by college stations, but I didn't know about any college stations then. So my question is: Did any commercial radio stations in the Bay Area play RUTH back then? If yes, then which? One of the things I greatly regret is that I, a huge Kate fan, completely missed the one time when she obtained a large American audience. Ed ed@das.llnl.gov
