Cities 97Cities 97 (KTCZ 97.1 FM) is an adult album alternative (AAA or "Triple-A") radio station broadcasting to the Twin Cities market of Minnesota and neighboring Wisconsin. The station is well-known for creating the Cities Sampler series of recordings, produced since 1989, which are now so popular that they typically sell out within hours of being released. Cities 97 is the most popular station of the AAA format in the area. A notable DJ at the station is Brian Oake. Cities 97 is owned by Clear Channel Communications. The frequency has been in use for many years. A station was already in operation in 1968 when Al Tedesco purchased it and operated it as the FM signal of KTCR. It was sold in the mid-1980s. There is a weekly show focusing on the music of Minnesota that airs on Sunday nights. Some local music does make its way into fairly regular rotation, but most consider some of the area's public radio stations to be better sources of music by local artists. External links References
