95.7 the party
- Thread starter CassChopper96
- Start date
It's a KBPI simulcast, "Rocks the Rockies"
On March 14th, 2022, they switched call letters to KDHT. They have been "Hits 95.7" since last July, however.

Against the MAMMOTH that is KXKL, I don't think so 🙄
What Denver REALLY needs is a Smooth Jazz/NAC outlet (Something we haven't had since KJCD left the air several years ago)
Agreed. I immediately know to tune to KXKL when in Denver.
Didn't 95.7 try that out in the late 90's?
I enjoy Smooth Jazz. But it skews too old. It just seems that nobody under 50 wants to hear instrumental music. I'm not sure why. Past generations liked Classical, Easy Listening, Beautiful Music and Smooth Jazz. But no instrumental music for this generation. Even Classic Rock and Classic Hits stations won't play past titles that were instrumental, no matter how big.
Since Denver seems to like Rock music so much, I don't see why a Jack FM or similar station wouldn't work. Some years ago, Denver had a Jack FM at 103.3 (now a public radio AAA station). It didn't set the world on fire but it is a low power signal.
Audacy has put Jack-like stations on the air recently in Houston and Boston. Same sort of playlist, same ironic and sarcastic prerecorded remarks going into and out of breaks. Houston is called 94.7 The Spot and Boston is Big 103.3.

I'm sure they have their own version of Instrumental music, just not what we're used to.
Yep 😎
I think you're referring to 102.3 KVOQ, during its days as KCUV.
I would love a Jack-FM format to come back. I've missed those quips 🤣
What station do you see Audacy flipping for a Jack FM station. I see none as all their stations are doing well
None. How did Audacy even enter the discussion?
Because in order for Jack FM to be on the air they would have to kill off a station and iheart isn't doing it
The call letters were previously used by 107.1 from 2009 to 2014.
That is crazy. Salt Lake has a lot of AC stations for some reason
Because it sells and is super safe for market demos.
Salt Lake has 4 diffrent AC's and 3 CHR's. Salt Lakes Demographics dosen't support a Hip Hop R&B station

The PPM killed what was already a dying format 12 or so years ago. The average age of listeners was well outside the sales demos to begin with, and in the PPM the format did not find a secondary cume because everybody who listened already reported it on the diary.
There is no smooth jazz or similar format in any PPM market. And those with smooth jazz heritage, such as The Wave in LA are now dependent on a large Black and later generation Hispanic population for the bulk of their cume... something that Denver has neither of.
