...which means Sacramento could be seeing a format flip, based on the hint from Radioinsight.

Something's Brewing...

Hmm... I know nothing... Must be an all beer format.. I'm in!
If I was a betting person, chances are that a certain station owned by a company named after a platform device is about to fold its cards and get Jack-Ed in favor of a cold filtered one flowing with the best Rock tracks ever crafted.
What's with all the secrecy? These posts really don't tell us anything.
It won't be for long...and don't worry, Jack will still be here. Can't say the same for Alt...
:-( And I just discovered Alt107.1 this past weekend when I was in town. Even with the (voicetracked?) DJ's, I found myself listening to alt1071 more than radio947.
It looks like "Alt" just got "Brew"-ed...

I presume we are talking about K296GB. It was not doing jack (pun intended) with no separate ratings or discernible revenue.
That makes sense. Yes, K296GB.
When I listened two weekends ago, alt1071 was commercial free. Just PSAs.
And the website is now All Brew. Aging Fratboy Bro Tunes.

My take on this thing (the HD-2 of Jack with the 107.1 translator) is that it's an effort by iHeart to try to find a format that might generate at least a few listeners in the Sacramento market. If something works maybe they'd move it to a full-power station. As such I would think they would be encoding. Seems like somewhere, someone with a PPM meter would stumble on the signal and register some listening. Are you saying that didn't happen?
Interestingly enough, the translator is still owned by EMF. It used to be Air-1 prior to the power increase.

How could it? The January book, being released this week, only goes through 1/27.
I was referring to the signal itself. Alt was beginning to make an appearance..

You're making me dizzy, Dave.
Could you perhaps try a more detailed reply of explanation as to what you really mean, rather than one-sentence quickies that are obviously subject to multiple interpretations?

Probably my fault for asking a quick question, but he answered it. The pertinent take-aways:
1. KQJK-HD2 and the 107.1 translator are indeed encoding PPM data (what I was curious about)
2. It did show up somewhere when it was running the alternative rock format, meaning somebody with a PPM meter actually listened to it.
Seriously relevant? Probably not. Interesting to those of us who are admittedly nuts about radio? Possibly.
Dave B.
Absolutely.
