On their website they're asking listeners for ideas for a new name for the station. How about Groove 95-5?? The Magic name was already used twice before here..Majik 107 KMJK and then KAMJ Magic 101 in the 80's. Rhythm 95-5?? How about using the old Y95 name even though they are K(Y)OT, Y95, "The Valley's Old School"??? A new name is nice but how about a better playlist that fits with their sound especially if they wanna own the Old School format and go after Mega 104.3!

95-5 KYOT looking for a new name
- Thread starter azradiofan
- Start date
I agree about the better playlist needed, cause right now I'm "Bored @ 95.5".
So far, I selected:
Groove 95.5
Channel 95.5
95.5 The Flash
95.5 The Vault
If they had kept it jazz or added chill, I would have named it Blu 95.5, 95.5 The Lounge, or Aqua 95.5.
What about The Zone? Can any other stations in PHX use that since 101.5 still retains the KZON call letters? I don't think The Zone has to specifically associate itself with alternative music, although it has here in the valley. ???

How about new name/new format - "Dance Hits Energy 95-5" 
Touch 95.5 The home of old school R&B classics & New school R&B hits. 8)
So, I checked out their website, and apparently these are the names they picked to vote on:
Jan Radio - Submitted by Jan K.
KJAM - Submitted by Yolanda G.
KEY 95.5 - Submitted by Brett P.
EVA - Submitted by Taylor A.
The ONE - Submitted by Maria Z.
95.5 Soulful Vibrations - Submitted by Karen I.
The Sound of Praise - Submitted by Raul L.
Smooth Groove - Submitted by Chazz P.
The WOW - Submitted by Joyce Z.
Cruzzin' 95.5 - Submitted by Rita H.
Looking at these names really reminds me a lot of their current format which seems ALL OVER THE PLACE. I am not impressed.

How about... none of the above and stop thinking in a Diary world?
I PICK KJAM!!!!!! ;D
I pick KJAM all the way!
I'm not being facetious either! I want them to do it - based purely on the fact that it would surely (at least) make things more interesting for me when it comes to Phoenix radio!
not only go with KJAM, but they should do rhythmic oldies as well.... ;D

Call letters already exist. Besides, I don't believe they are looking for new calls. Just like KZON never changed theirs, but use the slogan Jamz (ironic, i know).

Then my 2nd choice has gotta be Jan radio named after Jan. 8)
Phoenix... Say Hello To Eva!
Of all the names that were "suggested" as 95.5's new identity, it appears that "The Valley's Old School" will be adopting the name of "Eva."
What gives this away? The fact that Clear Channel's registrations of the domains Eva955.com and EvaOn955.com - as far back in June, mind you.

E v A ? ! ! ?
Ohhhh MAN...!!!
Ohhhh MAN...!!!
You mean smooth jazz is gone for EVA...EVA EVA
Well I love Eva. Eva is awesome! ;D The only thing I love more, though, is LP. If the option were available, I'd vote to change call letters to KKLP and call it 95.5 KKLP!
I mean... you can't beat LP!
Well, at least I can't.. ;D

They need to work on the production and sound on that station first. 95.5 KYOT fits just fine. They make Mega's imaging sound better. The current KYOT logo is fine too. I been listening on my iheartradio app and the liners are all over the place. Even on the commerical breaks on the app they still say Smooth not Smooth Jazz but Smooth. Since when Shelia E and TLC are Smooth? Are they still airing Quiet Music sunday mornings?
