Blytheville's KHLS has a shaky signal from 66 miles away, but the tight, hits heavy play list orchestrated by Keith Michaels is making a mark. For the first time they're knocking out a 1.0 share 12+ in Memphis, just behind the number 2 country WVIM "The Rebel" , which has a 1.1. Good radio still draws listeners!

That's a pretty good haul. Can you get it half way decent on a car radio?

Those ratings in Memphis will certainly get you that Chateau you've always wanted in Monaco.
speaking of WVIM... WKBQ(93.5) in covington plays about the same type of music, you know...a mix of the old and new stuff.
Before the corporatization of the Rebel, back when we had control of the music rather than someone else, we played things people hadn't heard on the radio for years, if ever! Took chances on artists that REALLY paid off for the station, and the Rebel was a truly unique and fun place. I will say that while another station may play about the same now, when Tripp was programming music there was no one who could touch the Rebel's playlist.
That's true... moving back to WKBQ, well apparently they're not included in the arbitron ratings for the memphis market...i'm not sure why, i mean...you can pick them up fairly well in millington...arlington...bartlett and lakeland. those are all part of shelby county... i don't know, maybe it's because the station's in tipton county.
Maybe... no one with a diary mentioned listening to them?
I guess not. They weren't listed in the ratings...or at least I didn't see them.
What with Kix 106 deleting their PD and the Rebel coming in with such a low number in the Arbs, it might be time to consider a format change for The Rebel.
true.
I would be EXTREMELY surprised if the owner of the Rebel considered a format flip. Corporatization's brought it down and it might need to change, but in my opinion if they'd change the music back it'd be alright and climb back up. Small as it was and is, KIX knew we were there. The fun left that place a couple months back.
New trends out for Memphis have The Rebel with no numbers at all. WTF?

Why isn't this station working?

It WAS for what it is before the new owner decided to make it Kix 106 light by hiring a consultant. When the music was programmed locally the place was on fire..in a good way. all me bitter or whatever, but you can look at the arbs and see pretty much when it was taken over and when it nosedived at the same time.
