Koit (song)

Koit (Estonian: "Dawn") is a song by Tõnis Mägi, made popular during the Estonian Singing Revolution. It is often seen as Mägi's signature song.

The song is a protest song, promoting the aims of Estonians looking to secede from the Soviet Union. The lyric is quite allusive, with references to a "new dawn" breaking. The final lines, however, make Mägi's point explicit, as he sings (in translation):

Land, land of my fathers, so sacred a land Which must now be free Our song, our song of freedom will sound And you will see a free Estonia.

The song is frequently performed at the Estonian Laulupidu and other patriotic events.

KOIT

KOIT (96.5 MHz FM) is an Adult Contemporary radio station in the San Francisco Bay Area of the United States. Its slogan is "Better Music for a Better Workday". The station's programming was also simulcast for many years on 1260 AM. KSFB, a station carrying Roman Catholic programming, now operates on the latter frequency.

KOIT is owned by Entercom Communications which also operates San Francisco radio stations KUFX, KRBQ, KBLX, and KGMZ. The station has studios in the city's SoMa district, and transmits from Sutro Tower in San Francisco, with a power output of 24,000 watts effective radiated power. The signal can be received throughout the Bay Area with relative ease. There is also a booster station in Martinez, California called KOIT-3 that improves the coverage in the Diablo Valley area.

Since 2003, KOIT has been playing all holiday music beginning the week before Thanksgiving through Christmas Day, December 25. KOIT is known as "The Bay Area's Official Christmas Music Station." This highly-popular programming significantly increases the station's audience during the holiday season.
