Some of the original WKAP disc jockeys were Kevin Fennessy, Walt Brown, Shotgun Steve Kelly, Mark Stewart, Kris Bailey, Billy Sheridan, and J. Robert Taylor.
Other DJs in the late-1970s included Wolinski In The Morning, Gene O'Brien, Weird Beard Don Foxx, and Smokin' Doug Hanley.
Program Director Chris Bailey and Station Manager Jerry Duckett were interested in the project to help compete with 790 WAEB and add a boost to WKAP's ratings.
The club was called "The Castle Garden Ballroom", located in Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown.
Crowds averaged about 300-450 per night and the owners and management were looking for a spark to drive increased patronage.
The lyrics contained curse words, which resulted in an FCC warning to the station and made the local news.
WKAP realized a ratings jump from 3.8 to 23.4, Saturday evenings from 9 to midnight in a one-month period and maintained this throughout the summer until the show's conclusion on Labor Day 1979 at the park's request.
Mike Jacobs received an honorable mention as "DJ of the Year" for the Philadelphia region and was invited to spin at the Roseland Ballroom during the convention.
WKAP also fared well at this convention being nominated for "Most Innovative Breakout Radio Show" for the year 1979, but lost out to WCAU-FM in Philadelphia, which is now WOGL.
Some of the other WKAP Air-Personalities moved on to other outlets, such as Bill Sheridan to WKRZ in Wilkes-Barre, 99 "The Hawk" in Easton, and Kris Bailey to AM 790 WAEB.
WKAP stayed with its standards music format, but added a bit more baby boomer pop, including Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
A year later, on October 9, 1994, WKAP changed its call letters to WTKZ and became a talk radio station.
