Star 101.5 Seattle To Flip Today - RadioInsight

The flip this morning of AAA 98.9 KPNW-FM Seattle back to Country “98.9 The Bull” is the first of two to take place today. Lotus Radio AC “Star 101.5” KPLZ will debut a new format a 2:00pm, which apparently forced Hubbard to rush its launch this morning. KPLZ-FM currently ranks 20th in the...

Wow, this will be weird, 101.5 has been Star most of my life. What was it, January 1994 that went? That would have made me about a month old. I just flipped it on, and it seems to be business as usual, though I'm not sure who's supposed to be on in middays these days.

I will definitely be recording at 2 today.

My prediction is that they flip to R&B or Urban AC. Besides 103.7, there really isn’t a station that plays R&B or Hip Hop.

Not in that market. Demos and ad revenue aren’t there to support it. That’s why KUBE 2.0 failed and why the Z Twins are on AM only.

I hope it happens! I've wanted to see someone in the market try a gold-oriented Country format for years.

Every station branded "Hank" I've listened to online has been classic country rather than contemporary. Those on AM are much more likely to play '60s and '70s country than those on FM, which are mainly '90s and '00s, with some '10s and a good number of late '80s (the dawn of the New Traditional movement). I assume the Seattle version will play no '70s, and only a few pre-1988 '80s tracks, like George Strait's "Amarillo By Morning."

Focus will be on 90's - 2020 with a "diverse music library."

Positener is "Real Country and Real Variety"
