How long before KOMP 92.3 bites the dust???

Station's ratings just keep sinking lower and lower and lower....

Latest PPM has them at a 1.1 share in the beauty pageant 6+ AQH share results, which easily is the worst performance in the history of the station.

Would the changes at 107.5, give KOMP management the courage to go in a Modern Rock direction?

Good question. I think KOMP might broaden its music choices, but personally, I'd be surprised to see a full format change & rebrand to Alternative.

It's sold in combo with KXPT, and does very well in revenue.

I'm glad to hear that, because I like KOMP 92.3 quite a bit, personally speaking.

Time will tell if the sluggish ratings eventually take a toll on spot rates.

I could see it but I don’t see them completely abandoning their core. I suspect a mere broadening of their musical choices as Mark suggested versus an outright flip. And in the chance they do flip they’re likely going to be a heavy Alt in the style of WBUZ or KPNT versus a traditional one.

Going out there earlier this month, I was amazed that all the jocks sounded severely overmodulated. Not the music or spots, just the jocks.

I would envision KOMP following a similar strategy to what KVIL has done in DFW: add a few core artists from disenfranchised listeners of KXTE and hopefully have the same initial results as KVIL did with KEGL’s demise.

does Audacy get a large chunk of the Las Vegas Maket Revenue with their stations even after the sale of KXTE

Based on last year, Audacy got about 21% of market revenue, Beasley 20%, Lotus 20%, iHeart 20% and Univision 10%. Audacy never got "a large chunk" to begin with.

Reading that list reminded me (a bit) of La Cosa Nostra (Five Mafia Families)...

Carry on.
