92.1 Stunting Now

B

Big D

Not sure what time they started but they are running a loop redirecting listeners to 101.5.

Looks like Results will pull the trigger this week. Finally.

Are we ready for 92.1 Z-Rock?? :D

That is some serious stunting! :)

Actually I think that's a brilliant idea. I wonder how many hours they'll do that? 48 maybe?
 
KROI calls are in use elsewhere, I believe in Houston by K------Radio One Inc. Are they really going to be giving them up? I doubt it! A deal to share them in two different markets??? Mmmmm! KROI-FM Placerville/Sacramento as opposed to KROI in Houston? Another rock station in Sacramento? Why?

Did you guys know K-HITS has moved?
Yes, I listened all the way through to make sure I didn't miss anything. :)

I'm back home in Vegas and 92.1 isn't streaming obviously. Did they launch something today?

Nothing yet, just the same loop. They might just run this all week.

hmmm...several months of simulcasting 92.1 with no acknowledgement of 101.5. Suddenly, the station is renamed 101.5 K-Hits on 5/31. Next we have another solid month of simulcast, this time without acknowledgment of 92.1. Then on July 1st, a loop to drive the Cume over to 101.5 from 92.1.

The question is....Will there be any Cume on 92.1 left to hear a new format? It's not exactly a flame throwing signal. Perhaps, people from the "News/Talk Lifegroup" (If there is one) will notice it by hitting the seek button from 90.9 to 92.5 and back. Hmmm.... How much overlap can NPR have with a Commercial News/Conservative Talk station?

It's been a slow, and somewhat strange progression. I think they initially planned on keeping K-Hits on 92.1. And it took a while to secure the STL, from what it appears.

A full week+ of "clearing out" 92.1's remaining Cume does seem a tad overkill. But, up to now its their only brand in this market. They obviously want to minimize the damage of moving frequencies.

My guess is billboards and television spots for advertising the new format. I've already seen several (billboards) recently for 101.5.

I'm a bit surprised in all this time nothing really has leaked on the new format. I haven't heard of any domain registrations or call letter changes pending. Talk about tight-lipped!

I checked 92.1 on my way to the airport @ 4AM on Monday, nothing.

I've been watching domain registrations as well and nothing yet. Almost purchased zrock92, zrock921 and 92zrock. :)
 
I remember when KVIN (Modesto Area) moved its calls and format from 1390 to 920. Both stations simulcasted for a month then 1390 did a loop similar to K-Hits referring listeners to AM 920 for KVIN and did that for a month before 1390 started simulsting its FM Sister Station at 105.5. Maybe 92.1 will continue with this loop until August?
 
Though no exactly a flame throwing signal, In Stockton I am able to get 92.1 very strong and clear while I cannot get K-Hits new frequency of 101.5 as I pick up KAMB from Merced instead, so they lost me as a listener.

Yeah, the HAAT really helps things out going south.

However in the protected contour, in populated areas of the DMA, 92.1 falls apart. 101.5 covers more people where it counts with a stronger signal.
