Austin TX The Live Music Capital Of The World Just Launched A UAC Local Owned
- Thread starter radiobox
- Start date
Wishing them success. ;D
Austin is fortunate to have community KAZI as well.
San Antonio has an excellent community urban KROV but only on HD2 and the internet.
Austin has had at least one commercial urban in the past, 1370 AM I recall. That was in the 90s I believe.

The Station's On Air Half Day - Sounds Like Their Going 24/7 Soon !! They Play R and B Everything - Good To Hear Local Own Station Trying to Rep in the Super Crazy ATX .
Glad to see that Austin has a commercial R&B station (Even though it's on a part-time basis). It sounds like they're buying time on the station. Do they still air Tejano in the other dayparts? Didn't they also simulcast on an FM translator on 95.1?
And they said Austin wouldn't get an Urban AC station.
I hope Cox in San Antonio is taking notes.
Wanting 106.7 JAMZ back, but Cox could flip 106.7 to Urban AC and do better than their Classic Rock format. "The All New X-1067 The Best Variety of Hits and Oldies, with Tom Joyner in the morning."
AM 1560 was Tejano previously, could pick it up in North West Austin.

As nice as that would be, but I don't think Cox will 106.7 to full blown Urban AC, maybe a Rhythmic AC. I don't think the black population is that large in SA percentage wise, it's about 6%. it might be 7% now which they might get away with it while catering the large hispanic audience.

There are many markets where they cater spanish language programming to a small hispanic population. It exists all over the US. San Fancisco has a good urban AC KBLX and only has a 6% black population as well.
KBLX is still successful basically on the strength of a declining but strong African American presence in Oakland. It draws most of its listenership in Oakland and the rest of the East Bay more than the overall region. In the case of markets where Blacks represent less than 10%, markets like Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Lexington still manage to maintain an urban AC there, while others like Boston, Tampa and Palm Beach lost their urban ac outlet/s. Amazingly, Little Rock has a huge Black presence but it is also one of the smallest regions where an urban AC and a rhythmic AC can co-exist.XMportable said:X-Man said:willdav713 said:And they said Austin wouldn't get an Urban AC station.

Lexington, KY lost their Urban AC not too long ago, Clear Channel's WGVN (Groovin' 1580) dropped the format for Comedy unless something new has popped up in the market.

There is a large percent of blacks in Oakland, but still only represents 142,000 people. In the SanFran "area" still low pouplation in regards to that metro area.....Still around 6% in reference.
Does Cox Radio run Urban AC on some of their stations? I know they do Rhythmic CHR.
If they could simulcast the urban station from Killeen/Ft. Hood area KISS 103.1FM in Austin then the Urban segment would be covered in Austin 24/7.
Cox has five urban AC outlets:willdav713 said:Does Cox Radio run Urban AC on some of their stations? I know they do Rhythmic CHR.
WALR "Kiss 104" Atlanta (their urban flagship)
WHQT "Hot 105" Miami
WCFB "Star 94" Orlando (the only pure urban there now since CBS ran WJHM "102 Jamz" in the ground)
WBHK "Kiss 98.7" Birmingham
WJMZ "107.3 Jamz" Greenville, SC (formatted as urban contemporary but leans adult)
It has also two pure mainstream urbans: 99 Jamz Miami (WEDR) and 95.7 Jamz Birmingham (WBHJ), although Cox does not program them too well.
Don't forget W270BW "POWER 102.1" Birminghambringbackradio said:Cox has five urban AC outlets:willdav713 said:Does Cox Radio run Urban AC on some of their stations? I know they do Rhythmic CHR.
