Compliments to the Denver Bonneville Engineer

FM_Listener

Not sure if they'll read this, but just wanted to say that both KYGO and KOSI have excellent audio quality. The clarity and the tone equalization sound just about perfect to me.

Better than my usual complaining, right?

Most stations are sounding pretty good these days. I'll skip complaints (-: except for The Colorado Sound - still MONO songs! Just had to work that in. And yes I have tried to ask them about it.

you just had to get a dig in there didnt you? Youre some kind of OCD perfectionist eh?

I would bet youre the only person besides the engineer who cares about "tone equalization".

I'm in broadcast, but not an engineer.. and im not even sure what that is!

Well it's probably better than being a crack dealer. There are probably a few of us around that just like good audio and for it to sound like the recording/mixing/mastering engineers intended. Down mixing to mono is a big no-no in that regard.

But in an era where most people are only listening in the car or on their tiny phone speaker, I'm sure I'm one of the few that notice or care. But it's cool when a broadcast eng. cares.

106.7 is crappy NO MATTER WHAT is put on it as the signal is JUST THAT BAD

In fact, I'm surprised iHeartMedia went to the trouble of buying that translator on 93.7 for the AM 760 FM simulcast (And KILLING the Soft Rock/Oldies format it had on there) & using that for the FM simulcast rather than putting the simulcast on 106.7 ubstead

Plus, they STILL have yet to find an FM simulcast home for KHOW AM 630 so there's that issue too
 
As a radio engineer, I always strived for the best fidelity I could achieve.
The results of my efforts were shown in the station ratings.
Listeners may not know why but they are attracted to a station that just "sounds good."
Of course, they won't listen to a format that does not appeal to them but, given the choice of several stations playing similar music, they will (nearly always) choose the station which sounds the best.

It is amazing, maybe appalling, that so few station owners and managers were concerned with the sound of their stations over the decades I have been in radio. I used engineering to gain a competitive advantage when I was owner and manager of stations and it worked.

Now, we have so many stations worrying about minutes and seconds of PPM detection with their VoltAir and PPM enhancement that they have made stations very tedious for long listening spans.

While many people complain about the lack of personable DJs and short playlists and "cookie cutter" formats, nearly nobody understands that in the PPM markets much of the loss of listening is due to the tedious sound of excess PPM encoding enhancement.

Why is the 106.7 signal bad? It's a 100 KW station. I hear it fine all over.
