The Quake

The Quake is the branding used by several rock-oriented radio stations in the United States. One notable example was KQKE 960 AM in San Francisco, which operated under the name "The Quake" in the 2000s as a progressive talk station before transitioning formats. Another notable station using the moniker was KQAK 99.1 FM in San Francisco during the 1980s, which played album-oriented rock (AOR). The Quake branding is often associated with high-energy rock or alternative programming. Specific details about these stations vary depending on the time period and market.
