BYE-BYE KS107-5?

[ChrisKMusic]

what's even funnier is that the station you're criticizing there chief is ranked #1 12+

I agree. Johnnie its amazing how obviously out of touch you are with today's youth. and the fact that you thought Jammin' was the best station ever says alot. You must be old. You are NOT in the KS demographic anyway so you're not supposed to like it. And if by chance you are 18-24....you're very out of touch...

1) They have become more Urban and Thugish sounding than before...
1) They're supposed to be Urban and Thuggish (so good for them).

2) They play the same ol songs all day long...even during the Back in the Day Cafe
2) Have you ever heard a CHR/Top 40 station? Its always the same 20 to 30 songs.

3) Every Club they advertise or Broadcast live from...sucks...and they have attracted the Ghetto-Undesirable Crowd, i would be scared i would get Robbed or something
3) The clubs they work with are actually the most popular 'place to be' clubs in Denver. Vinyl, Bash, Game, etc. are all very eclectic and very popular. Especially Vinyl.

4) And what's even more Sad is that Denver's Best station Jammin 92.5 was dummped instead of KS 107.5
4) That just says that you're old and not someone KS cares about anyway.

5) Party 95.7 doesn't even come close to the being a Jammin 92.5. of anything..they play half the same songs 107.5 plays...then they mix in a few 90's R&B & Rap songs......
5) They play nowhere near the amount of currents or recurrents as KS does. and they're not trying to.

Hope that helps you with your obvious confusion. I think if anything KS could do better would be to add more new music faster. But other than that, its quite obvious why KS is #1. Unlike most stations here, they leave out all of the clutter. They are one of the few Denver stations that is competing with Ipod as well as other radio stations. If more programmers would do that and realize they should be more like an Ipod or Satellite radio, the industry would be in much better shape and more likely to hold onto younger listeners. However, with the way things are going, it's tough to even find youthful people that see radio as a possible career in 15 years. Think about it, if the youth stop listening now, then who will run the industry in a decade?

KQKS has always sounded Ghetto and thuggish every since they moved from 104.3. They dumped the dance and most pop records to become Denvers only dual Urban/Rhythmic Hip Hop station and they do quite well in their demo. KS isnt going anywhere, its a cash cow. KQKS may not be the very best Rhythmic station in the whole U.S, but it certainly isnt a bad one. Ive heard alot worse....COUGH COUGH.... RADIO ONE Urbans. I would take KS over my local Hot 96 Indianapolis anyday, talk about sounding ghetto......

JUSTHAPPENED..................

1) i am only 33 years old, so i am not ready for an old-age home or anything..2) i never said that all the music on KS sucks....i love the new "FLORIA" song...the new Kanye west and Mary J, "the Shawty Song" is good, I'll even groove to some baby bash....especially when i am dancing in a club.

But the problem i have with "TODAYS HIP HOP" is that most of the Lyrics are "GARBAGE" and not really talking about anything except something NEGATIVE.
IF YOU go back to some old LL.COOL J or KRS-ONE...and even Kool Moe D..Heavy D...most of their music was just as good but the lyrics were alot better than some of these CRAP ASS ARTISTS just Sounding like IDIOTS behind some cool beats......It's just how MUSIC has degressed in the last 20 years. If you were born in the late 80's or 90s then you are used to listening to a lot of this crap and your brainwashed into believing this is what good music is about!

So of course stations like KQKS or KMEL or KXHT or WGCI who play URBAN/RAP music will always do well in ratings......

KQKS has no competition so of course they will always BE #! ;D

I have been to Vinyl...other when KS is not there and it's a pretty cool CLUB.

I will agree about to having to compete with Satellite and IPODS and even internet radio. There are "too many hands in the cookie jar" this is why Radio is almost on live support, the RICH CATS found that Radio was profitable and they came in and "Corportized" Radio and sucked all the money out of the Industry.

Now everything is on Radio is Syndicated or Voice-tracked or taped....with automation now....the Big Suits want all the $$$$$$$$...plain and simple...."the Bottom line is never good enough....for instance...if a station makes 12 million in Revenue....next year...CC or CBS want 15 million..and if they don't get it...then they Cut....Layoff good Air Talent...or Syndicate the Whole Damn Station!
