1. 94.5 KSOC FM/"94.5 K-Soul"
Owner: Radio One
Specialty: Old School and Today's R&B
Personalities:
5AM-9AM: Tom Joyner, (formerly on KRNB)
9AM-2PM: Lynne Haze, (former KRNB personality)
2PM-6PM: Michael Baisden
6PM-7PM: "Grown Folks Mix @ 6" with Kenny J., (former KRNB personality), and Dj Smoove
7PM-12AM: Rudy V, (former KRNB personality)
12AM-5AM: Auto Mation
Strengths:
Good imaging, great old school for the older audience, they fill the void of no FM gospel by providing gospel music all day Sunday and early mornings before Tom Joyner.
Weaknesses:
Signal strength, no weekend mixshows, (the mixshows that were on 94.5 were superb!)
Personal opinion:
I believe this station would be a perfect fulltime urban gospel station.

2. 105.7 KRNB FM
Owner: Service Broadcasting
Specialty: New R&B
Personalities:
5AM-9AM: Steve Harvey
9AM-12PM: Nate Quick, (former K104 personality)
12PM-3PM: Sean Andre
3PM-7PM: Skip Murphy, (former K104 morning man)
7PM-12AM: Ron Chavis
12AM-5AM: Tony Mathis
Strengths:
The new r&b is a breath of fresh air, the personalities are good
Weaknesses:
Signal Strength, (although their signal is much stronger that 94.5's), no weekend mixshows, (They have the Quiet Storm. Why not have a Thunderstorm on Friday and Saturday nights)
Personal opinion:
I believe this station would be perfect with the addition of some specialty shows. This station is very progressive with all the new music that they play.
 
I have major problem with Radio One ( Radio One Killed My Home town, Boston Urban stations ), so i will pick 105.7 .
 
When did the Big Baby go to KSOC? I missed this one.

Its a toss up for me, since I have XM I listen to Suite 62, Spirit, The Groove, Watercolors, XM Chill, and The Rhyme.

I rarely listen to D/FW music radio anymore. But I give the edge to 94.5 because I do like Basiden. His show is unique for urban radio.
 
Big Baby went to 94.5 shortly after Nate Quick went over to KRNB, and rapking, as you can probably guess, I dig 105.7 as well. You check both of them out via internet stream.
 
KRNB is the right choice for Urban AC in DFW. They are a great sounding station. Radio One has no business at all being in radio or television. Just look at what they have done in Boston and Los Angeles. ROs stations in St. Louis are awful.

I would listen to 105.7 if they played more Dwele, Hil St. Soul., Ledisi and get rid of that friggin Ron chavious [EDIT]





[EDIT-offensive content]
 
What they need to do on 105.7 is move Sean Andre to evenings to host the Quiet Storm so he can go head to head with Rudy V, and let Ron Chavis stick with the imaging of the station or just take him off the air Period!

As far as 94.5, I think the variety of Old School music could be better because play the same ol songs over and over. I rarely don't listen to the stations as much unless I'm in the car, I'd rather listen to stations online like WHUR-96.3 in Washington, D.C. which has a better variety of music and probably one of the only better sounder Urban AC's in the country right now.
