There are a number of story lines that have been building in 2014 that may or may not reach their pinochle as we hit the 24/7 Happy Birthday Baby Jesus Reason for the Season.
Lets take a moment to inject even more outrageous speculation into some theories and rumors whose origins lay somewhere in the a realm known only to Unregistered Users.
1. KLUV will flip to all Christmas Music on 11/21 and ride the Sleigh of Good Cheer to 12/27 and 11:11 at which point they reveal their new call letters K-Zippo. This will confuse anyone who has ever listened to KLUV..except for one. There will be one whose ecstasy will know no bounds and they will be so busy implementing tantric exercises with figgy pudding on themselves with K-Zippo on full blast that we will never have to read another one of their posts.
2. KLPX will start with 1 or 2 Reba Christmas songs that quickly become the only two songs they play over and over and over again...which I know, not too different from their current strategy, but come 12/23 they will emerge as NASH ICON. Some have already asked, "Why are they planning on rebranding the day before Christmas Eve?" Credible sources say it's because the Dickeys believe that the development of a National Radio format that is partnered exclusively with a record company in such a way that the DOJ hasn't slapped them with a WTF were you thinking?- is bigger than this Jesus thing.
3. NOW MIX THIS: KDMX will go to ALL Christmas music on 11/17 at 10am. They plan on running dead air from 5-10 just to see if its true that the 18-34 demos actually WOULD rather listen to nothing rather than The Burt Show. They will run a tape delay Bobby Bones from 10-2 and newly syndication KANE show from 2-6, the one with the highest ratings will get to fill the dead air spot come 12/29.
4. KVIL - not to be outdone by the 5-10 dead air stunt by KDMX - KVIL is going to run dead air from 5a to 7p and see if it's true that the 18-34 demo would rather listen to dead air than WTF is going on over there. Christmas music will run 7p to 5a. Mark my word, engineers are going to go nuts when station managers at both locations realize that silence is out performing anything they have tried and thus want THEIR silence to punch through LOUDER when people tune in. "I want our silence to be crisp - but not Tin-ee sounding"
5. KLIF-FM - 93.3 will go to all Christmas music sometime around January 5th and their website will reflect the same around March 20th. SMH........
6. JACK - will flip on Thanksgiving, have record ratings - and they still won't be able to sell it. (but look at how little we spend on it!)
7. KSCS - They may go in the first week of December and will be jockless until New Years at which point Cumulus will segue out of the Heritage expense of Hawkeye and Dorsey and come out at NASH-FM with America's Morning Show in AM Drive. (Blaire Garner....think Burt Show only worse) The two moves on their Country stations positions their Nash brand just in time for the ACM Awards at the stadium and Garth Brooks coming to town)
8. KXT - no Music just pensive poems about Santa starting 12/22 thru 12/25
9. The Edge - with a promise to play nothing but the classics The Edge puts a new twist on our old favorites by running every Firestone Classic through a flange/distortion/wahwah effect giving even Nat King Cole and Bing a hint of jaded childhood, self centeredness, inability to focus, and bad tattoos.
10. The Ranch will do something amazing - but no one will hear it.
11. The Ticket will recycle the SOS and then recycle that SOS again with the same takes the same audio drops the same callers and the Rubes will eat it up.
