Audacy Launches Front Range Country 103.1 Denver

Interesting that Audacy is offering this new local HD channel, at a time when they are shutting many others, around the U.S.
I listened for a while online, out of market.
There was a very long commercial break, which included several ads for local area businesses. This seems unusual for an HD subchannel. Does the over the air broadcast have lots of commercials, or are they perhaps added only to the online version?

Good question. I'm unable to pick them up where I'm at south of Denver unless I use a good radio unfortunately, I'm not sure. But yes I was surprised they launched that too.

It's feeding a translator. Instead of sharing links from a site that simply posts poorly written press releases, I know of another site that actually gives Insight into what's really happening :)

I apologize Lance I should've posted the link from your site instead of the link I posted. You do a great job in keeping everyone on radio news. Keep up the good work. :)

Going up against KYGO with THAT PUNY signal is LAUGHABLE !! It will be DESTROYED !!

They should just simply make it KAMP-FM & have it remain with CBS Sports Radio whenever it's not running local programming (This would finally put Mile High Sports Radio out of misery as Audacy cou;d kist absorb all its local offerings) & AM 1430 is with the BetQL Network

THAT would make better sense than going Country
 
The station is not designed to go toe-to-toe with KYGO.

Its objective is to earn a couple share points and complement KQMT for sales purposes.

CBS Sports Radio is garbage.

ANY Country station would be committing suicide by going up against KYGO no matter how it's programmed

And HOW do you figure AN LP station (Which 103.1 is) can compliment KQMT (A FULL POWERED CLASSIC ROCK station)??

Finally - Aside from CBS Sports Radio not being in a position to cover live sporting events like ESPN & (Now) Fox Sports Radio do (Due to CBS Radio's ties to Westwood One Sports). how do you figure it's garbage?? It was designed to be a talker. It was NEVER designed to cover live sporting events

What killed NBC Sports Radio was the lack of a network infrastructure (Which is why NBC never got back into radio with its news division) because that was dismantled back in the mid 1980s. CBS doesn't have this problem

NBC Sports Radio used the Westwood One network infrastructure. What killed it was the licensing fee & operating cost was greater than the revenue.

Here's the shut down announcement:

Westwood One To Cease Distribution Of NBC Sports Radio

Westwood One has notified affiliates that it will discontinue distribution of the NBC Sports Radio network at the end of

NBC News also used Westwood One for many years, and then switched to iHeart.

NBC didn't "dismantle" it's network in the 80s. It instead sold it to Westwood One in 1987:

Ad buys don't work that way. Spots are priced in proportion to delivery. If priced aggressively, the new station may be a better ad buy than KYGO.

It's not an LPFM. It is just lower powered.
