A.k.a. Alexander Stein
b. 1919 d. July 27, 2000 in Los Angeles. Alexander "Sleepy" Stein was a pioneer jazz disc jockey and a familiar voice on the Los Angeles radio dial for many years. After a stint at KFOX including broadcasts from the Lighthouse Cafe, Sleepy started KNOB, the first all jazz radio station in the world. KNOB-FM (103.1) went on the air in August 1957 as the world's first all-jazz station under the ownership of Sleepy Stein. The station had received permission to raise its power to 70,000 watts and moved to 97.9-FM. By 1966, the station had moved to Anaheim and was sold to Jack and Jeannette Banoczi and by October of that year KNOB-FM had a pop music/easy listening format. In 1986, the station went to "love rock" and in 1988, it became KSKQ-FM, all-Spanish contemporary.
