Chatter about X106.7

S

saradio1

I heard Cox is disappointed with format and will tweak the music soon or flip the format before the holidays. Any truth to this?
 
If it's true, that was fast.

Bet CC is glad that they locked up all of the talkers on The Patriot to prevent 106.7 from returning to FM Talk. ;)
 
Wow. Maybe they should just sell it make it a christian rock station or something.
 
I don't listen to 106.7 very often, but all I ever hear is music. If I wanted that, I have Pandora on my phone. Think local, people. That's what will differentiate you from every other music box on the WWW.
 
You guys seem to forget that at one point the 102.7 signal seemed like it was cursed in San Antonio. Eventually a right format was found and the signal is considered a success today. All Cox has to do is find a right format.
 
I don't know much about this station, but you can tell Cox could care less about the station if they still don't even have jocks. All they just need to do now is flip it... ::)
 
No jocks, limited advertisers and low PPM's....Something is going to give. I say jocks but reality that's not important to a station. Jack FM is a perfect example of this. But Bob Neil(?) did say they would have jocks soon after they launched X106.7.

Soft Rock 106.7?
 
I BELIEVE IT.

WHAT DID THEY REALLY INVEST IN TAKING A SWIPE AT KZEP? NOT MUCH...OVERALL.

THE NEXT STATION TO SWIPE AT? WHO IS HURTING COX MOST NOW? THE WINNERS FOR THEM ARE KONO AND MAGIC AND KISS.

WHOEVER HURTS THESE 3 THE MOST IS THE FORMAT THEY WILL TRY TO COUNTER, WITH OR WITHOUT JOCKS. IT IS CHEAP ENOUGH FOR THEM TO KEEP TRYING, UNTIL THEY MOVE THE PPM'S.
 
I would look for a repositioning at 106-7 against Jack. Jack is hurting Magic, and probably KONO and KISS a little.

that is all.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
 
What is X-106.7's positioning now? I don't think they know. I know they brand it was "World Class Rock." But if you go to their home page, you don't learn anything about the station beyond the brand name.
 
I was starting to like 106.7 now they might change already? wow.

Soft Rock 106.7?

I doubt it.

San Antonio already has KQXT and KSMG, and Cox owns KSMG. Though possible since KAMX and KKMJ in Austin are owned by Entercom and they are two ACs one Hot AC and one Soft AC.

KMIX is back in the Alamo City KMIX 106.7- They could do that.
Q101.9 is feeling more like at HOT AC station esp. at night but with mostly 90s and 70s in rotation, they must like skipping the 80s, probally to get at KONO and KSMGs ratings.

They need to break the mold and flip to Urban AC (revive KSJL) on that frequency. Though I miss their dance format (JAMZ). Cox needs to look at KSJLs success during the 90s when KTFM in a way tried to copy both KSJL and KQXT (1994-1997)

KTFM tried to copy KQXT back in the 90s???? Sorry but I never heard Christopher Cross or Kenny Loggins on KTFM back then. KTFM and KSJL were on a whole different level; KTFM was more dance and pop, KSJL was pure urban.

Cox needs to try the urban format as there is none to serve the large Africian American community with NO urban to serve them. And no, KTFM or KBBT are not urban.

No disrespect sdh483 but the large African American community??? According to the last census, San Antonio Black population was about 7%. That might have increase over the last few years due to the evacuees from New Orleans and from the growth San Antonio has experienced but I doubt it's even at 10%.

IMO, The Beat is making the right move. They are staying competitive and listening to what San Antonians want to hear.

That is because Christopher Cross and Kenny Loggins were big in the 1980s. They both played Art Of Noise (KQXT and KTFM) KTFM had slow jams in heavy rotation during KSJLs FM beginning. Both played R Kelly a lot (KSJL and KTFM)

Not everyone completely fills out the census, I didn't because I refused to allow representation by someone who wouldn't represent me i.e. Read a Bill before signing. A lot of African Americans were pissed off because the census used the term Negro on the form. I would understand it if the used it only on the Spanish form but not on the English form. I believe it maybe 12-17 percent still a big number. We do have a substainsal African American population in SA.

I guess you're getting what you want... no representation. Ignoring the census will only perpetuate the problem you wish to solve. The only way people will see the growing population-- if it is there-- is when it shows up in the census.
