WAPI-FM offered Music, Just for the Two of Us, a syndicated tape format best-remembered for that soothing voice heard roughly every 15 minutes before and after commercial breaks.  WELO-FM in Tupelo, Miss. also aired this same format (and voice) in the 1970s, so throughout west Alabama, young mens' fancies were liable to be two-timing.

WQEZ-FM and WCRT-AM bragged about their dominance in the over-25 demographic.  WCRT, most of us know, was a longtime "good music" station, while its FM station was a "beautiful music" beacon since the early 1960s. 

Less than five years later, Birmingham would be without a single easy-listening outlet.  WAPI-FM was first off the Otis, becoming "95-ROCK" in 1981.  A year later, the elevator came to a stop on the ground floor and WQEZ stepped off, where it reinvented itself as contemporary adult WMJJ - "Magic 96" 

Meanwhile, on WAPI-AM, "adult contemporary" music and upbeat personalities carried the day.  It was a winning combination at the 1070 spot for many years.
