Changes coming to 107.5

CBS brass in town. Look slike !07.5 might be Free FM. Staff meeting at 3pm. Ratings slide must've done em in.
 
What a rating slide it's been for KXTE.This former #1 18-34 station is now #12 and continues to freefall. Losing Howard has devistated EXTREME rock radio. Yet, as I have mentioned a few times on here, the one single format that could give them even worse ratings is FREE FM. This hot talk format has been a disaster everywhere it's been tried. CBS should already be flipping their existing FREE stations to other formats, not switching stations to FREE.
 
So if KXTE flips to the Free FM format will KSFN go all im with SNR. Let's hope so. And since Area 108 signed on I haven't even been listening to 107.5. And i also think the Spike format failed or is failing is because it's targeting the young male demo on AM, where no one except radio geeks like me even bother listening to. So I say bring on Free FM and maybe we can finally hear Don & Mike without static.
 
why would 107.5 think of switching to free fm? We have lots of talk stations in the city....KXNT, Spike 1140, KLAV 1230, KDOX 1280, KDWN 720


good use for 107.5 would be to switch it to pure top 40 and move KLUC more towards urban/rap.

I would think if they were to go down that path, because of the personalities at KLUC, move KLUC to top 40 and kxte to an urban/hip hop station...
 
If 107.5 does go FREE FM, CBS would probably just switch 1140 to all sports. SPIKE already runs a lot of Sporting News Radio so it would be an easy transition.

I don't think that CBS would ever switch 107.5 to Top 40/Pop as it would hurt both MIX and KLUC (even if they became more urban). They would just be cannabalizing their own audience.
