1400 KGVL - Greenville

I really enjoy listening to this station, and I think they are
doing a decent job. The good oldies songs are right on the
money. But the ridiculous "robotic voice" sounder that they
have that says "14 GVL" and other little tidbits HAS TO GO!!! :mad:
That is just so cheaply produced and cornball. Spend some
money for a nice jingle package - doesn't have to be overboard
fancy. Hell, it's only a 1K station in Greenville for God's sake!!.
But possibly some old revivals of Pam jingles or snippets of old
commercials from the 50's and 60's with jock shouts. I don't
know. But ANYTHING has to be better than that robot voice!.

Also, not sure if it has improved, but the first time I heard them
drop the oldies for the 93.5 Coyote simulcast for high school
football it was a freakin' trainwreck. :eek: I want to hear OLDIES,
not COUNTRY!. They switched over simulcast WAY TOO EARLY
for the game. For a good hour, I had to listen to twang instead
of oldies. Word of advice....switch over when the game actually
starts!...otherwise drop the coverage and keep with the oldies!
I know that's nitpicky because "simulcast" means just that,
broadcasting another station. But to me, it just sounds better
to go with the sports broadcast AT THE START OF THE GAME.
Otherwise, what's the purpose of having the oldies format?
If people want to hear country they'll be tuning in the Coyote
in the first place! I just see that as killing their marketing for
the oldies format (and station), especially when it's brand new.

I'm sure they are just working out the kinks. I noticed that too a few weeks ago when they Did Football.

The Big 14 GVL does a great job and spinning those oldies.
I actually like that Robotic sounder, (I think KLIF even used it at one time)

Give the station some time I'm sure when they get enough cash they will get better done jingles.

The FM is 93.5 The Coyote. Its a Country station, much like KSCS.
I'm just outside of 93.5's listening area so I can only catch snippets of it.
 
Is KGVL still transmitting AM Stereo? I still get a light on my Radio Shack AM Stereo tuner with weak signal at my QTH.

Does anyone still sell AM Stereo equipment ?

I understand what you're saying but I must respectfully disagree for a number of reasons. By the way, the "robotic voice" is known as a Sonovox: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Sonovox#Sonovox.

Context is everything. I'd rather hear a Sonovox dropped in over jingles, rather than the same old positioning statements and cheap "production values" in use today.

Compared to current oldies classic hits stations, along with their attempt at the soccer mom target audience, KGVL sounds like WABC and McCoy sounds like Harry Harrison.
