Corpus Christi "Lonestar"?

[clouseau]

Howdy,

Little birds have hinted there is a subtle sales effort to market a "New" classic country station in Corpus Christi called "Lonestar". Details of the actual frequency are not available. Neither is any other information.

Apparently, at least one "Heavy hitter" advertiser has been approached about this station.

Is it a relaunch of the Badlands "former" AM 1150?

Has Bogey Broadcasting's management brought their "idea of old" back to a different LMA? Or still on 1150.

Willl this station be on a functional FM signal which has at least a snowball's chance of sucess? 106.9? 102.9? 106.5? or maybe AM 1440?

Are the Dobson's launching a classic county "Wingman" for KFTX, somewhere?
OK, I'm trying to build drama here.

Perhaps the real question is...

Which of the two between "CoastalBendlive.com" and Lonestar, will actually appear first? Or will a different station simply "DISAPPEAR"?

Who Knows?

"Lonestar 1150" has been around in CC for a couple of years now. It started out as Classic Country, then started to throw in some Texas Country after a few months. Nowadays, it's a hodgepodge of Classic Country and just about anything else you can think of. A few days ago I tuned in and heard that Country Music legend David Bowie doing that Country classic "Modern Love". Only to be followed by some John Conlee ???

I had an interest in a LMA on 1150. But, no longer.

Sorry it didn't work out for you, Id love to see that format on the air. Not that I think there's a snowballs chance in hell it would be commercially viable, but I salute you for looking at it.

And then there would be the whole Davila LMA thing.

Well, if nothing else on the way home yesterday I heard KOKE playing Jerry Jeff's "Little Bird" from Viva Terlingua!

No, it's not a comeback. But it's a nice song.

No format is making a comeback...on radio. The best place for progressive country and other formats radio refuses to air are available on the net. More people are streaming off their phones, computers and other devices. Soon, car audio will have internet streaming capabilities, leaving FM in the dust unless they get their act together.

So, is KOKE-FM some sort of mirage? What about KKHH-HD2? also known as Energy.
In what way should FM radio get their act together. It's a business you know, and they are in the business to make money.

Even the Beat made 3 comebacks in Austin. Is that just an illusion as well?
I don't stream audio, I stream TV because the Cable companies refuse to offer A La Carte Programming, and I still buy vinyl whenever possible and save the CDs and Cassettes for copying the LPs onto on the days I don't want to get out my record collection.
