Wow. Maybe Cox should turn 106.7 into a flanker and peel away some audience from KAJA?

 

[CTHank]

They already have KCYY sitting in 3rd with a 6.5 not too much more they can take

I agree with Hank. If Cox flipped 106.7 to a 3rd country station in the market it wouldn't be good.

Think they tried that already in the mid 90's with The Armadillo.

You could also qualify top-performing Regional Mexican KROM & Tejano KXTN as evidence of San Antonio's country listening leanings.

Don't forget about the KKYX simulcast on FM 106.7 in 1992.

I see something like this, 106.7 flips back to KKYX Classic Country, and their 104.3 translator becomes KONO-HD2 Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel. The question is when. It would improve KKYX's numbers. Houston has Country Legends, owned by the same people and 93Q, competing with KILT.

Not likely. First of all, Cox just hired a new PD for both KISS and KTKX. The idea is most likely to keep their programming separated and consistent enough. Yes, sometimes companies hire a single programmer before a format change as a cost cutting move (and to keep from having to hire someone and buzz saw them a few weeks later), but I don't see that happening here.

Also, Cox doesn't have a single affiliate of the True Oldies Channel. I'm not aware of them running a single all-satellite music station anywhere. I also don't think Cox does a single 60's based oldies format anywhere anymore. They've long since moved on.

How the heck is KJ the #1 station in SA? KCYY has been a much better programmed radio station since PPM started. Fluke month? This is where PPM doesn't make sense.
