Energy Flipping to Top 40
- Thread starter Diggidy62
- Start date
Hasn't flipped yet. Flip happening today at 5pm.
Hearing rumors they're going to simulcast a station from Palm Springs????
Seriously?
Top 40??? KMVQ and KYLD with their monster signals aren't enough for this market???
KNGY was doing dance... cause seriously... what else can you do with a signal that small in a market that big?

They have a CP to increase height and decrease power. If they switch, they actually lose about 150,000 persons in the 64 dbu.

Top 40, and old top 40 songs under the name of Classic Hits, seem to be the bigger winners in the PPM.
There is nothing timid or submissive about CHR... Casper Milquetoast is rolling in his cartoon grave.
Even with that excellent promotion effort, the truth is it was a tough sell
Some of the City's best sales folks had a difficult time.
However, the Overnight Dance Mix will go down as some of the COOLEST ever in the Bay Area!

Go to http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/ and you can do an FM search and see the CP and the licensed value for the station. This is about all that station can do... it is hemmed in and has severe spacing issues. It can't be anything more than it is, and any changes are tradeoffs.
Flip has been pushed back beyond 5pPT. According to the last update on Facebook: UPDATE: It looks like we'll be on the air longer than previously mentioned. Stay tuned for updates. We'll post them as we get them

Energy spent a bunch of money to make that move a while back, but returned to Russian Hill. Apparently the coverage wasn't what they thought it would be. I live about 25 miles away and Sutro was slightly worse here. They probably got better multipath performance in some SF neighborhoods from Sutro, but building penetration certainly suffers with that low power (500 watts). The nice thing about Russian Hill is that it provides excellent field strength in a very densely populated area, although the top 40 audience might not be as plentiful there compared to the dance audience.
Here's an interesting thing about 92.7 in Newark, CA. I tune it in on my Sony HD receiver & get Energy for about 2 seconds. Then I get country in HD. Turns out that while Energy has no HD signal, the 92.7 in the Monterey Bay does. They're so short-spaced that the HD signal from Monterey captures my radio and causes it to switch.

So this......is what's going to be on 92.7.....

This sucks, it seems Top 40 is on a revolution to see which market can have the most CHR stations. So far, New Jersey is no. 1 with 13 CHR stations flooding the state.

New Jersey is not a market it is as you pointed out a state. You can't pick up Z-100 New York or 92.3 Now in southern Jersey, or in the western parts of the state. You can't pick up Q-102 Philadelphia in northern Jersey, or in most of the Jersey shore for that matter.
You can't pick up Monmouth and Ocean County's Hits 106.3 in Newark nor in the suburbs of Philly.
You can't pick up Atlantic city's 95.1 WAYV in northern New Jersey. You also can't pick up 98.5 KRZ Wilkes Barre in most of the heavily populated regions of Jersey.
Really, all you're doing is counting all the CHRs one can pick up throughout the state. If you're going to do that one call also bring up how if you drive to every single point in Connecticut you can pick up just as many stations - Z-100, 92.3 Now, 106.1 BLI, Beach 101.7, KC 101, Kiss 95.7, Q-105 ,98 Q , I-98, K-104, and 92 Pro.
Perhaps you're not aware of this but San Francisco has been DEPRIVED of a CHR/Pop station for a long time. Only recently has Movin 99.7 evolved from Rhythmic AC to a Rhythmic leaning CHR/Pop station. And the last time San Francisco had two CHR/Pop stations going head to head was in 1987 with 106 KMEL, which was starting to lean Dance, and Live 105, which was evolving into a Modern Rock outlet.
