Dance Hall Days in Dallas

R

Robert Bass

OK guys and gals…

It has come to my attention someone is soliciting advice on how to start an FM station in this market that plays electronic dance music.

Let the discussions begin…

Yes its true. Robert Bass ( one of the famed Bass Brothers) wants to have a station built on the top level of Ft.Worth's "Bass Performance Hall" It is rumored to be KTYS. To obtain publicity, they plan on holding many dance contests ,entitled "Bass Tournaments". They hope to have John Travolta MC the inaugural Dance. TXU has been approached as a corporate sponsor.;)
 
You know, BASS and PLEX, if no one else responds to this post... it was worth it for that one hearty giggle. Nicely done. :D

Sounds like somebody out there is probing the XM and Sirius directories to find the "next big thing." Surely this would be too narrow and niched to even work, but hey, if there were no commercials or DJ chatter, I might give it a listen! Wonder what AM STATION they plan to put it on? And didn't KKDL-106.7 do this when they first signed on in 2002?

Meanwhile, we still don't have an all-news station, an active rock station, an all-80s pop station, a 90s rock station, a real AC Gold station (a la Memories,) a women's talk station, a smooth jazz station, a moderate or liberal talk station, a latter-day classic rock station (meaning rock hits from 1976-90's, not implying Mormon...we've already had that,) an oldies competitor for KLUV with a different 300-song playlist, a well-programmed FM classic country station, or a station with some decent energy that isn't laced with rap. I think there's better, unserved formats out there to try than electronic dance music.

Oh, and in the midst of bad weather reporting last week, a couple of KRLD reporters slipped up with the outdated "Newsradio 1080" identifier.
 
They might as well call it "BotchedRadio 1080". Or maybe "UninformedAnnouncerRadio 1080"

Anyone else have some suggestions...? Anyone....? Anyone...? Bueller?

In th aftertoon drive the male anchor ( can't remember his name) was talking about severe weather around San Antonio. He said there were tornados in "MEDIAN" county ,when it its pronounced 'MEDINA" ( Muh ..dee Na). Like I said on another thread CBS needs to issue and enforce the use of pronunciation guides.
