1270 KRVT

I

ionosphere

I meant to post this the other day when I heard it, but I haven't had the time.

I was listening to 1270 around 7pm Wednesday night on my way home. I expected, as usual, for a brief station ID followed by the hourly CBS News update. What I got instead was about 2 minutes of the Fox Sports Radio National Sports Report, which was abruptly dropped for a Bread song.

Weird...
 
It was a log error and my fault. What was supposed to happen was a switch to the OSU network for a ballgame. But I programmed it a day early. Duh.

Listen often enough and you'll hear lots of weird stuff.

Stan, I figured you would probably have an explanation. It startled me because the song before the break was "The Last DJ" by Tom Petty (which was a little bit of odd selection with your format) and then to have the FSR report made me think a format switch had occurred.

The programming sounds great, by the way. I manage to catch some of your show a couple of times a week. Loooooove the echo. Reminds me of old KOMAAAAA!
 
The Tom Petty song was MY fault; surprisingly, my audience seems to have a thing for Petty (although I still limit how much of him I'll play) and a listener suggested I use that song as my closer each night.

It expresses how I think a lot of our listeners feel about KRVT: it's the last place where they never know what the DJ is going to say, where they know he's live on the air now because they can call in and talk to him on the air, and requests are normally played pretty quickly. It's what they remember radio being in the past, which is what that song talks about... if you haven't read the lyrics before, I highly recommend them:

(Watch out for pop-ups...)
 
To heck if anyone thinks its not an "oldie", I'm glad there's a station that has the guts to play that song.
(PS: please update the KRVT website and start streaming online)

It's a great song, and it does say alot about the state of radio today.

But I agree...KRVT needs to be streamed online.
 
Fun station to listen to. Would be cool to have on a stream. Congrats on showing up in the fall book.
