Clear Channel's KYOT

U

It's all about the smooooth Jazzzzz.....Any opinions on the personalities? Do you hear them as if they are speaking to you alone with a friendly demeanor? Is there excitement in there voice? Do they come across as if they truly care about what they speak of? Opinions requested? This pertain's to all day parts..Monday through Sunday.
 
And when do you think Phoenix will have it's first 100 degree day next year? ZZZZZZZZ.
 
The current Clearchannel Phoenix cluster has not a single news-talk oriented manager and none of the music stations have a clue. Are there any local live programs on KYOT? Nothing sounds local or live. Clearchannel and similar outfits have killed radio. Sad but true.
 
Nah...Clear Channel nailed the coffin, but Steve Jobs is lowering the casket in the ground with each IPod sold!
 
Many other markets have blown up their smooth jazz channel, how much longer can we get the smooth sounds on 95.5??? I been checking out the "movin" format on Philly 106.1 and I am liking it. Wonder if cheap channel is eyeing to blow up smooth jazz for the movin format.
 
Their morning show may be live and local. It used to be, but it would be no surprise to learn their entire schedule is now voice-tracked.

KYOT fills a niche, and draws listeners. I assume it makes money since they spend so little on talent by cherry-picking other markets for announcers.

But I would argue that it's a waste of a frequency. Unless there is compelling evidence that it makes so much money by being piped into dentist offices, it should be blown up.

I once proposed moving the KYOT format to 96.9 and putting KFYI on 95.5. "Ninety-five point five-fifty KFYI" since KTAR will soon be at 92.3. Mix would go away. But I suspect Clear Channel will not do that.

I also suspect that KFYI will soon lose some ratings heft. Clear Channel will not spend the money it will take to keep KFYI on top. The staff at KTAR is p.o.'d that their status as top dog is over and they are very, very hungry to get it back. Bonneville has the resources to get them there. Clear Channel just doesn't care.

Having said that, KFYI still has the superior talk show lineup. KTAR has the news resources. After all, Mike Anthony didn't jump ship to KTAR just for the heck of it.
