The original airstaff included program director Brian White, along with Bob West, Lisa Giles, Dan Harrison, Cliff Roberts, and Benny Martinez. The original station staff, including these DJs, are coming together for a 30-year reunion of 99-1 in July, 2009. The consultant who crafted the station's original format was Jerry Clifton.
