Central CA Board to quiet

[kenrayc]

This board is to quiet, not like the S.F , Sacramento, or L.A. board.
Nobody has any complaints on why there are multiple duplicating of certain formats or why we hear "Freakin' Perfect" or "Firework' every 45 minutes on a certain station and why there are formats not heard hear.
For the record KKBZ still rules in classic rock.

The only good thing about 95.7 the Fox is Bob & Tom.After that same old songs from there 100 song playlist,turn station..
105.1 the Blaze does play more Metallica but has a limited playlist as well.Major need for a morning show like sister station KOMP has.
Mega 97.9 & Noddy Roddy just needs to go away.We dont need to hear the same tired Smokey Robinson,Brenton Wood and Diana Ross songs 3 times a day.
New Rock 104.1 needs to decide which direction they are going to go.
Flip 92.9 back to oldies and copy the way K-EARTH operates (right down to the coffee they use).
103.7 the beat is now a waste of a 50k signal,maybe put the oldies station here.

Fresno radio is terrible.Thank goodness for XM...

Where is the creativity that used to be in the Fresno market?

I agree, Fresno radio is terrible. Especially AM. I like the addition of 940 KYNO though, which is great because I am not a fan of KMJ.

I don't care for the format that 103.7 KRZR is going with, especially the addition of HD. BIG MISTAKE.

I don't care for the crappy weak mono signal on 105.5 The Truth.

And I hate the Bob and Tom Show on 95.7 The Fox.

And I think there are too many Spanish and Sports Stations.

I had Sirius Satellite radio for a few months and I didn't care for it.

Any Questions??????????????? ???

Have you any suggestions for improving local radio in the Fresno area for the better?

 

[VOL559]

Yes...Expand the playlists of a few stations.It is so bad that on a couple different occasions 95.7,99.7 & the much vaunted 105.1 all were playing the same song at the same time.No thinking outside the box as far as playlists.Mega is soooo bad I can set my watch to there's.

Bring back oldies 92.9 and follow the K-EARTH example

Bring active rock back to Fresno

How bout somebody at Peak,Queer Channel or Lotus really try and earn there money and try to team up Doug Ray and Don Fischer

and speaking of Queer Channel,how about they just leave Fresno radio all together..........

Having been in Fresno radio back when there was some creativity (I hate to admit, but Appleton was on FIG when I was on a competitor)....and Mike Novak was programming KYNO...I can't help but look back and then listen now and ask "what the hell happened"? Time passed. Radio today doesn't serve as it did 20 years ago or more..

Remember 78's.... Then came 45's... 33's... EP's... CD's... Same progression of change has forever changed radio.

I spend my mornings with KDFC, afternoons with The Sound or WDRV. There remains amazing radio, but it's hard to find and even rare in LA or SF. Fresno radio is horrible..(no offense to those who're working this market, as you're limited with what you're provided). Whatever I'd love to hear on the air in this market would never generate sufficient revenues.

Sad to say, my car radio remains on XM to and from work. At work, the internet provides my fix. And, at home, the same - I'll find what I want outside of this market and won't look back.

It is what it is....

 

[VOL559]

WDRV out of Chicago is a good station.Listen to it myself from time to time.Another one is a station I used to work at WIMZ.The Blaze & Fox could learn a lesson from both the stations we have mentioned.

I agree! Radio doesn't serve today like it did 20 years ago. It's all about the MONEY. There are more money-hungry people and companies now. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. That is what it's all about!

 

[kris dxer]

hi, 84 KMPH in modesto is on the air playing 70's soft rock music. as of 11:30AM kris

 

[jhimbo]

Yes they are. I listened for a while in Elk Grove last night. It plays a weird station id that sounds like a sound bite cut out of somthing else.

 

[Roachley]

I'm sure it (KMPH Modesto) will disappear from the landscape after minimum air time is logged to maintain the LICENSED AND SILENT status. And yes the ID is an abrupt edited version of the AM 840 The Patriot (previous) ID, without the other surrounding communities. - Yea it's too bad, that's a good 5kW signal, sounds good on a wide-band AMAX receiver, just a little over-processed though.

I wonder who's next to go "dark"?
Nice thought, huh! :-[

Bring active rock back to Fresno

How bout somebody at Peak,Queer Channel or Lotus really try and earn there money and try to team up Doug Ray and Don Fischer

and speaking of Queer Channel,how about they just leave Fresno radio all together..........

Mega is worthless, what we need is a real oldies station, done the right way

Is someone willing to provide a list of stations in the Fresno area that could be made better for area listeners in terms of format?

103.7 what a waste, the beat has a limited playlist of 80s and 90s r&b song repeat twice a day. to this day KRZR had better ratings.

104.1 should just go active rock, yes they are playing currents that are active rock, but still not a true active rock station.

95.7 The Fox still the same Bob and Tom and the same 200 songs.

There is no Retro 80 alternative/Mainstream format, jack-fm , or Bob, or what ever needs to come back.

 

[VOL559]

93.7 KLBJ/Austin is another classic rock station that the Fox and Blaze could take notes from...
