99.7

O

OKCRadioGuy

Ahhh look! It's Jeeezzzzus rap on 99.7. Oh wait. That's just a Godchannel CD skipping. LOL! Who would have thought Dr. Evil and his goons would use a Christian CD to test their junk with. The irrony is almost too much to take.
 
Actually heard a legal ID at 2:00 PM... Cut in during the middle of a song, saying "KZLS FM, Mustang Oklahoma City." You could still hear the song playing in the background while the ID played. It seemed about every 4th song had the major skipping trouble.

I bet the end format won't resemble the Christian music being played during testing.
 
Though a Christian CHR/Urban/Rock to replace what's become of KOKF isn't the worst idea for a format.
 
Their CP expires on 6/23. How much do they have to be on the air by then to be in compliance? They stayed off for the weekend, and are off this morning (Monday, 6/22). Do they have to be fully on air by the 23rd?
 
Yes they would have to be on the air by the 23rd however he could file for his license to cover since is was on the air long enough to ID the station, once he got the license he could file for an STA to be silent.

The way it's been explained to me in the past is that they don't have to be on-air by that point to be in compliance. They simply have to have completed enough testing to apply for their license-to-cover by that date.
 
Some of us thought the EMF presence in OKC was unusual considering the presence of 91 FM and House FM.

The FCC website shows they have now applied for their license to cover. It was accepted for filing today.
 
When EMF just had K-Love, it made sense because K-Love and 91FM/The House are very different. EMF bought 91 FM ini '06 and brought Air1 to replace it. The House has been trying to get a full signal in the market for years. If RadioU joins, it will make that Christian music field pretty crowded. I won't complain because that's what I like, but it will be pretty crowded there.

The House has applied to the FCC to increase the power of their 88.5 KZTH from 35kw to 50kw. If granted, they will come a little closer to having a full market signal in the Okla. City area. They still won't cover the metro as well as Oasis Network on 88.1 or K-Love on 88.9, but it should help slightly. Having those three frequencies so close together makes it difficult to tune any one of them in on a cheap portable.
 
They are back on again this morning, as of 10:30 AM. Same stuff as last week, with the same skipping tracks from time to time.

They have been granted their license to cover. I can't imagine that they moved 99.7 to be a rimshot of OKC with this in mind.
 
The same tracks that skipped last week seem to be skipping this week. "It Is Well" skipped badly and was mixed with another song last week, and it sounds exactly the same this week.
 
Ugh, you'd think if you spend that kind of money putting a station on the air, you would be more concerned about the product. I say format switch within the year.
 
Ok I have listened for awhile now and I think by listening I might have a ticket to heaven now. I did notice they missed an ID in the 4pm hour. I hope this is not a format of choice. And now they are dead air. at 5:42
 
One word: Placeholder. It could be all Polka music at this point. It doesn't matter. Its just to satisfy the licence requirement at this point.

They're just trying to do enough testing to get the license to cover. They likely don't care about the programming at all. I suspect they'll turn around and sell it for more than what they paid for it as an Enid station.
