Interesting. I don't know which transmission is considered primary for the SunSounds program, do you? In metro Phoenix, I haven't heard that transmission anywhere on the standard FM (or AM) dial, apart from the HD3 digital channel. The radios the station distributes are something I've never seen. Might they be on a frequency outside the normal FM dial, or is that distribution done a different way, I wonder?
67 kHz subcarrier.
Considering that KAZG is a translator, that's pretty damn good.
Especially up against two headed KOAI with their main signal at 95~one. PLUS a leased translator at 94~Nine to serve the east side.
Which makes no sense to me because that translator on the east side at 94.9 comes in about the same at my house in Gilbert if not worse than 95.1. Meanwhile, that 95.1 signal is a flamethrower. I have picked up KOAI clearly in Downtown Flagstaff which is impressive, throughout western Arizona and even up in Monument Valley up on the Navajo Reservation in Northeastern Arizona. KOAI, the flamethrower that covers more people-less land than any other station in Arizona!
Quite similar to KMVA, which was moved from Flagstaff to the bustling community of Dewey Hopper-Humboldt. A lot of RF...except to the SE Valley. And Camelback Mtn does reception no favors for the stations up on Towers Mountain.
Dewey-Humboldt is the only place I have ever seen a traffic jam caused by two trucks each, pulling half of a double wide, trying to make opposing left turns at the same time. I wondered how the police would describe a "kitchen to living room collision" when the two trailer-parts crashed into each other, blocking the main road up to Press-kit.
And, around 1973 or 1974, I remember when they brought the other Dewey into the world of Phoenix TV. Let's say I was not impressed by his style.
He played one hell of an indoor soccer game though. Kind of like crashing into a loaded beer barrel.
Regarding KSLX hitting #1 recently, I'd like to think it's because they've added some deeper cuts to their playlist. Mostly on weekends mind you, but it seems to be resonating well with their listeners--- if their Facebook page is any indication.
Full disclosure: I've participated in several of their focus groups over the past five years. I always told them that, if done correctly, playing album tracks can be beneficial (read: profitable) for the station. From where I sit, it seems to working pretty well.
I applaud them for giving the "deep cut" approach a chance, and in my opinion, its paid off for them.
