94.5 The Buzz

What are their numbers like in Morning Drive compared to the days Steve Robison & Jeff McMurray were on air. Listening from out of state, it seems Rod's show plays more music. How are his numbers?

Speaking of the Buzz, I would like to know how to reach someone with engineering...KTBZ-HD2 has been dropping out for the past 2 weeks. I drive clay road from barker cypress to hempstead hwy and get 10+ dropouts just on that drive. Something is definitely wrong and needs to be checked out. Other than that, no complaints about the buzz or liquid buzz.

something like that, didn't do it at first nor do any other HD2s, must be something that needs tweaking. KTBZ-HD works fine.

If you lose signal on the main signal, your radio can blend back to analog and fill in the gaps.

There's no analog to fall back on for the muitlcast. When it's gone, it's gone, and the digital coverage area is smaller than the analog coverage area.<P ID="signature">______________

You are correct with your facts. Only recently I have been experiencing drop-outs on KTBZ-HD2. Also, the HD1 does not switch back to analog in these areas. I am in west Houston and can literally see the towers if I look carefully. This is a new problem and only happens on KTBZ-HD2. KODA-HD2, KHMX-HD2, & KKRW-HD2 do not drop out.

**UPDATE**I guess they fixed the problem, no drop-outs this evening.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by stevenNOLA on 04/11/06 03:05 AM.</FONT></P>

Now back to the original question...

How are Rod's numbers compared to Steve and Jeff's.

And for the record, Steve and Jeff played A LOT more music.

Hence why the Rod Ryan Show is called a "show."

Steve and Jeff's years on The Buzz promised more music in the mornings and less chatter. Rod fits somewhere between a music-intensive and talk-intensive show.

So, how are the numbers?? Anybody know?

I haven't had access to the real numbers or even basic data about morning drive ratings.
