KATR was formerly a country station in Eugene, Oregon. Google search Katr67 (talk) 18:02, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. It was an AM station. Katr67 (talk) 18:03, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, known as KATR from 1962 to 1985, it's now known as KSCR (AM). There was also an KATR (1450 AM, now KGRE) in Greeley, Colorado, from 1986 to 1989. - Dravecky (talk) 20:30, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So the history would go on the KSCR page? Would KATR eventually merit a dab page? BTW, no COI here, I picked up the nickname Katr in high school for various reasons lost to the mists of time, but only partially because of the existence of the Eugene radio station. I do like country music (pre-1980s). :) Katr67 (talk) 21:51, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the history stays with the station even when it changes call signs. A dab page is probably not unwarranted—so I've created one. - Dravecky (talk) 22:02, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
