Methinks your continued whining disdain over terrestrial rock radio is the same "1" song over and over.... YAWN...... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I tried listening to Lex and Terry on XM. They seem kind of interesting, but then I realized they are on the Eagle, I felt depressed for Russ' career because what he has turned out to be.

My point is, you're putting us all to sleep with the same line over and over. Do you have anything NEW to bring to the table?
Yes, ANYTHING, but the SAME Corporate Radio/Billboard "HiTS" from the last 40 years, would be Great.Dndsh237 said:TheRover said:Dndsh237 said:

Instead of Playing Deep Purple'shighly commercial tracks, like "Tokyo Woman", you would instead play "Lazy" (from Machine Head).
And a hundred hundred examples --- Just like that Dndsh237.
You don't play this song ... and you do play this one . . .
That's My "Formula" for great ROCK FM.
Now, the the Corporate Hits radio has got nothing "New" to offer, musically, so all of their energies are around EVERYTHING ELSE. Keeps you BUSY, doesn't it ! ;D

As far as The Eagle goes, I personally enjoy the range (new, old, not much repetition) of music on the playlist, but that's just my taste. I travel quite a bit and compared to some of the other major markets, Dallas offers some overall good radio. I take it that you have an issue with KEGL? Things were better in years past in my opinion but could be worse now. :-\

Other than the fact they are still stuck in the 70's? It's a nice station. They needed to open up their playlist to the 80s, like three or four years ago.

Yeah, I agree. I used to listen to KEOM all the time a couple of years ago, but their playlist is SO tired and threadbare. It's the same few songs from the Bee Gees and Kool and the Gang. If I wanted that kind of predictability, I might ast well listen to one of Clear Channel's stations.
We need a good 80s station... 80s pop, that is. No whitetrash hair bands allowed. Something somewhere between New York (Billy Joel) and New Wave (Nena.)

I learned from an acquaintance this morning that KEOM is doing some sort of listener survey or something. If that's true, sounds like they might have some format changes in mind, maybe?

The advertisers know that if the station, through reptitive playlists, keeps a certain kind of "average" listener.... well then.... That's exactly who the advertisers hope to pawn their "products" to..... If you've got more refined tastes than a reptitve shallow playlist.... then you're porbably not the kind of listener that the advertisers want to hawk to....
When they say average..... they mean Real AVERAGE ! ! !
I'd love to listen to a station that played most of what was aired on MTV minues the hair bands, the 'metal', and the slick pop of Madonna and Sting......
I'm talking Go Gos
Devo
A Flock of Seagulls
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
even David Bowie.....
Let's Dance !

For the most part, I agree with your thoughts on this. However, the fact remains that mass appeal (mostly average listeners) is what generates revenue. Fortunately, today we have the option of purchasing sattelite radio or high capacity music devices if terrestrial stations are too average for us.

I'm also a Sirius subscriber and I've never been impressed with their 80s station. It's actually kind of a let-down. I've noticed that KLUV has been sprinkling in some pretty good stuff here and there... but I think Jack FM has the most by way of good 80s... If you're willing to sit through the other stuff.
There's a place in Denton that has 80s night every Thursday night (I think.) Some of the best stuff you'll ever hear in one evening.

Nah... better left to kluv and platinum. it's 2008. isn't it time to have a place on the dial that devotes itself mostly to the music from 20-25 years ago?

That is complete opposite direction that KEOM needs to be moving in. That would cause them to maintain the older adults who are moving out of their demo. They need to be focusing on the folks moving into their demo.
