The time - 1982. The place - KMSA, Mesa State College, Grand Junction Colorado. The Creation - Metal Saturdays. The Metal Merchant and others created Metal Saturdays. They would play Metal all day on Saturdays. At this point KMSA didn't have a computer, so when someone didn't show up there was dead air, as was the case all summer and winter break long.Around the time when the Magic Nose Goblin showed up in the mid 1990's, Metal had expanded into 30 different genres of Metal. With the help of The Morbid One KMSA helped push Metal Saturdays into being the most Diverse Metal shows on the planet. Then The Magic Nose Goblin asked the bosses if we could air during break time and make an all Extreme show called Satan's Whorehouse on Friday late night. Both were a go. KMSA then installed a computer playlist so KMSA would never have dead air again. At this point KMSA was broadcasting around 26 hours of metal every week.In 2002 Big Steve O created the Friday Foreplay (metal from 7pm on Friday nights). and The Morbid One/The Necromancer created the Monday night Progressive Rock show Technical Ecstacy. At this point we were up to 31 hours of Metal and 2 hours of Progressive rock over the air waves at KMSA 91.3 The Metal Authority.So KMSA has 36 plus hours of Metal/Prog/Indie Programming and plays all 50 plus types of Metal!!!!!!!!In 2011 KMSA will become HD and will have two seperate broadcasts. The Alternative and The Metal Authority. The Metal Authority will broadcast on the Alternative on Saturdays for awhile. So that the Metal listener that doesnt have an HD setup will have a chance to update. So you the listener will want to update to an HD receiver in 2011 so you can get The Metal Authority because we wont be on the Alternative forever! So In 2011 KMSA The Metal Authority will broadcast Metal 24/7. Thanks to all the KMSA DJ'S past and present that helped make this possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
