93-9 Kiss FM 12-26

Y

yankees

looks like cc is calling the new sunny 93-9 Kiss Fm i hope its not like the one in g-boro like we need anymore of those. We alredy have one wasted frequency ( 107-1/104-3) with foxy they should flip the format on one of those and change it to something else because that station is not all that great to take up 2 frequencies when one of them could be something better. But anyway back on subject the new station will be called 93-9 Kiss FM starting 12-26 with whoopi in the morning. My thinking to answer someones question on what time they were going to make flip is 12am right after christmas. Clearchannel already has a domain registered it is www. 939kissfm.com i culdnt get the link. theres nothing on the website now but it is up
 
Interesting thought but my first observation is...

1) If you're going to use same moniker as your sister station the "next metro over", you'd think they might mirror the format meaning Kiss is Raleigh would be Urban A/C-ish.

2) I didn't get Urban A/C from the promo they are airing that had Paula Abdul hooks in it???? Certainly a "tempo" focused station based on that. I thought only roller skating rinks still played Paula Abdul.

Whatever the case you can bet they ain't gonna let any station skim off "G" anymore than necessary. Yankee, any information on that site that links it to Raleigh? Looks like a standard CC web shell to me. Could be any 93.9 in the empire.

oh god. i just thought of something....what are the chances of 93-9 using that same "KISS" montage over and over, like they did with 105-7 ??

Also, before WFMX died and became Kiss, that same KISS stunt was used on Magic 96 in Charlotte before it became 96.1 The Beat...

If Sunny does run the KISS stunt, I wonder if for the station ID they say "WRSN Burlington" or "WRSN Cary"? During WFMX's KISS stunting, the station ID inserted into the stunt was "WFMX Clemmons" (new home of what is now WMKS).

Another clue: One of the teaser promos featured that same "Kiss" song by Prince that featured prominently in the KISS stunt, and that same song was the first song WMKS played (although at that time they were still using WFMX in the station IDs) when they emerged from stunt mode and launched the new format.

Stay tuned, and, if anybody manages to capture the flip, can they post the link to it in the thread?

WMAG and "Lite" 102.9 play "Straight Up". I haven't heard Sunny lately but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

I don't see Radio One tweaking any of their stations; while CC, CMG, and Entercom are all spinning the format wheel left and right, the Triangle's Radio One stations--- which, ironically, are all former CC stations; CC only got rid of them in 2000 because their acquisition of Sunny, WTRG, etc., put them with too many stations in one market (sound familiar? Flash back more recently to the unfortunate dilemma that brought about WFMX's demise)--- are enjoying consistently strong ratings (in fact, K97.5 even knocked 94.7 QDR off the top perch one time). Besides, what format would they flip one of the Foxy halves to? They already have hip-hop (K97.5), soft R&B/classic soul (Foxy), and gospel (The Light 103.9) under their umbrella...
 
It's official Sunny 93.9 will be known as the NEW 93.9 KISS FM on Tuesday. When you check out the website at 939kissfm.com and click on Kiss weather it shows Weather for the Raleigh/Durham Market. What will the playlist be like considering it will be a dance station that makes you feel good.
 
CC owns the name..yes. BUT 99% of the other stations out there with the 'KISS' name are CHR fm's!!!

i wonder who will do the voiceovers, legal's, etc ?
 
Of course, you have to concider CC's recent change to KISS in Greensboro - surely ain't CHR!
 
Cane' Whacha doing on the Carolina Board..? Thought I was the only Florida Boy on this .. You still in JAX?
 
If you click on the EEO Public File link at the bottom of the www.939kissfm.com web site and open the PDF file, this is what comes up:

One thing I forgot to mention last night when I made my last post... The News section of the Kiss website seems to be all about artists and bands that are playing on WDCG. Would there be a remote chance that they are going to flip G105 too?
 
Flip G105? Come on, even Clear Channel can't/won't screw up that bad. It's one of the only decent things about radio in this market [all complaints put aside]

re-adjust? Sure; I can see a turn back to a more alternative sound. But an all out flip? Nah, definitely not going to happen. Ever.
 
is who i am THAT important right now? we are awaiting a HUGE event..ok. maybe not so big..im hyper right now. im sorry, but i am just as excited about what is about to happen at midnight as i was when i found out i got a system for the computer. ohhh heck yea!

...less than an hour and a half away now. :eek:
