January DFW numbers

Eagles cume is healthy. People WANT to like it, and they keep going back to see if they got their sh*t together.

There is ZERO TSL because the music is awful. The fix is so easy, and it's wildly frustrating watching it sit there with 1.5 share.

Here we go again. You don't like the Eagle. We don't like the Eagle. We get it.

I mean, I get why he's frustrated even more than someone on your side of the equation. You may dislike it because it's not The Eagle you once enjoyed as a younger man and wish it'd return to the sounds of its heyday. Kramer actually put his time, body and soul in to that brand, station, and heritage for a good number of years during his career.

I applaud him. He has the heart of a truly, passionate broadcaster who loves the medium for what it should have always remained.

Bitch on, @Kramer. I feel your pain.
 
Speaking of KEGL...it's a nit-pick, but scanning by earlier today, the new "guaranteed human" legal ID is now incorrectly given as "KEGL-FM Dallas" rather than Fort Worth, its city of license, after the calls.
 
They likely did the Legal ID within the commercial break. A station in a city I worked ID'ed legally in the last break of the hour (licensed to a suburban town) but on the hour the jock said, as an example, your favorite classic hits are on KXXX-FM, Houston.

I completely understand how you feel. I know it’s been explained before, but KEGL basically just lets KVIL walk all over them. The rock listeners don’t want to listen to KVIL, but KVIL gives away the concert tickets, they play artists that should be core KEGL artists more than KEGL does, they make sure to emphasize the “ROCK” part of their “DFW’s Alternative Rock” branding, and so on. The Eagle listeners don’t trust KVIL but they’re being given no choice because the state of KEGL’s programming is so bad.

I can’t pretend I know what the answer is, but the fact that KEGL offers no effort and no real care and still gets a 1.5 6+ share is honestly impressive. With effort given they could probably upend KVIL. But as long as KVIL plays KEGL-core bangers 3-4 times an hour they’ll put up with the indie because it’s better than what KEGL gives them. It shouldn’t have to be that way but that’s how it is.

Not in this case, Bill. Chip is right on the money with iHeart mentioning Dallas in front of Fort Worth at the top of the hour. Not so on 102.1, where it is correctly IDed as Fort Worth - Dallas.

Hey, at least they identify it.
