So I heard once the sale is done, Coyote Country 1043 will move to 1027 and NOW will be gone..... any truth to this???? I think Coyote Country should take over 963 KKLZ, since we all know 971 the point is the classic rock station in vegas, IMHO!!!

What "we all know" is how boring and out of touch the Point is. Las Vegas' BEST Classic Rock Station is on the web, at www.963classicrock.com. It is a cool re-creation of the great station KKLZ once was. It is consistently rated in the top 20 of Live 365's 800+ Classic Rock stations and is programmed by two former KKLZ employees. No commercials, no consultants and a list of selections that keeps growing because there isn't some pinhead 3000 miles away telling them what not to play. The accompanying website allows fans of the original KKLZ to enjoy memories of the station's heritage and history by way of photos, stories and interaction. As far as Coyote taking the 96.3 frequency, it wouldn't matter much anyway, KKLZ has not been a Classic Rock station for two years now.

thanks for link for 96.3 KKLZ was a much better classic rock station than the Point...the dj's were great and some of the classic they played were rare and great...i find the point plays the same old classics and they sound stale. The point should bring in the "House of Hair" show along with playing some hair and rare tunes.
KXPT should add this show. It is the best syndicated classic rock program I have ever heard. I listen to it online every weekend. It would be a relief from their same old safe playlist.

Jay F said:It's official, the swap will take place Tuesday at 3PM.
The PD for 104.3 NOW will be Joshua Fleming from Ed's station in Palm Springs KRCK.
Sean Lynch is toast. Humm had Justin Chase programming two FM's when they were together at CBS and after next Tuesday, that's all Beasley will have left. It's too bad Lynch can't go over to the new company to program 104.3 NOW.

I listened to Coyote and NOW, each for more than 30 minutes, today. If they are flipping tomorrow, one would think they would be promoting it. NOPE! They are both mentioning pending frequency changes, but nothing more. How can they botch this??

They are Beasley. It is their way.
They're also having a contest. The first one to hear the change and call in and be caller number 12 wins a trip to see and meet Taylor Swift. So tell everyone you know to call in at 3 PM!

Well it sounds like the frequency swap happened without a problem... however as of now (3:15pm) the websites for both 102.7 and 104.3 still don't reflect the change. Also the webstream for The Coyote is now off the old 102.7 Now site, and Now's stream is going off The Coyote's site. Way to go Beasley. And of course, nobody won the $102,700 on the Coyote's Big Switch contest. Surprise, surprise, surprise...

One other thing... what's the point of a contest telling people to be caller 12 when they hear the change if you're going to tell everyone exactly when the change is happening??RadioStarOne said:They're also having a contest.

Just checked the 104.3 Now site, and their stream is down. Their old site at 1027now.fm finally redirects to their new one at 1043now.com and both sites now reflect the new frequencies. The Coyote also changed their logo... it looks kind of like the Wolf branded country stations. The Now stream is still playing off of the Coyote's site... with country filler in between... and it's now 3 hours after the swap. What are they doing?? Not a good way to start out!!sfradio said:the now stream is annoying, there is country crap filler happening when the station is supposed to be commercial free

Nice to see the new Now 104.3 lean mainstream as they are playing songs that 102.7 wouldn't play such as Boys Like Girls, Taylor Swift, Linkin Park, Fray, Michael Franti etc...great!!!!!!!!

This is huge! This changes the structure of the market. CBS in particular will be impacted. I have long said if LV ever get's a mainstream that KMXB will be hurt (NOW is even playing 94.1s favorite band of all time...Nickelback!). The lowest numbers MIX ever had in their close to 15 year history was the last time this market had a CHR/Pop, 101.9 KISS FM at the start of this decade. This hurts MIX because a segment of their listeners use them as a default CHR.
This all comes at a time when KMXB PD Charese Fruge has her hands full with a THIRD station to program...KZZO/Sacramento in addition to LV and San Diego. Speaking of KZZO, they only did good early in their history when SAC had no mainstream. As soon as CHR KDND (THE END) came on Hot AC KZZO fell drastically and never recovered. I'm not saying it will be that dramatic here, KMXB has a lot of heritage and a popular morning show, but I have seen this pattern many times.
Of course this also impacts KLUC. They were having success being the most pop of the three rhythmics. Now all of the sudden they are positioned between HOT and NOW. My guess is they won't react at first, but will eventually add some big pop songs they would have sat out on if NOW didn't play them.
This should help HOT as they are now by far the only real rhythmic/hip hop station in the market. They could use the boost to offset the disadvantage they will be at when Urban unfriendly PPM starts.

CBS is going to feel this one. I don't like that there are no DJs but have to admit that the kids of today don't care and don't seem to mind that they listen exclusively to a computer with NOW. i don't even like the brand name- (NOW)?! I guess i'm old school. i hope they fail.
and "F" PPM it's seriously flawed...
go neilson!

Will this effect 98.5 KLUC? If it does, what can they change?
