Favorite Clear Channel Station

[lovejamminoldies]

What's your favorite CC station on XM?

I like KISS because I think it's the ideal CHR on the service with Hits 1/20on20 not playing any rhythmic and their love for flops and Pop2K not playing any currents. I love KISS as a rhythmic CHR, but it's definitely gotten a lot more mainstream, especially during the workday with No Doubt and O.A.R. rotating.

Mix is good, but runs into a lot of issues with their music rotating sometimes, and their golds are very repetitive. They have a lot of artist drops though.

I've never listened to Nashville, Rock@Random, or any of its talk programming, but maybe you guys have a favorite?

it's both, Duran is the morning guy at Z100 (Top40) in NYC...his show is syndicated to other stations

The local affiliate plays the music, not Elvis.... and he'd be good for KISS or MIX.

KISS-XM, because of the wide playlist, not repeating the same 20 songs over & over, and they play hip hop along with the currents. Sirius Hits 1 needs to expand. 2nd favorite - music summit, again, fresh sounding songs I've never heard, new artists to discover.

My favorite talkshow hostess is on America's Talk, At least for another month or so.
The show is distributed by CC and I think the channel is CC.

 

[lovejamminoldies]

KISS is getting better too... working on their programming and really becoming Satellite Radio's hottest CHR station...

They play a great mix of new music, currents, recurrents, and gold. They're not afraid to play the hip-hop that's out now. They definitely play more of the older stuff during the day, but check this out after Club Kane ended.

12am Monday morning (after Club Kane ended):

Chris Brown - Yeah 3x
Wiz Khalifa - Black And Yellow
Nelly/Kelly Rowland - Gone
Taio Cruz/Travie McCoy - Higher
B.O.B./Bruno Mars - Nothin On You
Pink - Perfect
Timbaland/Keri Hilson/D.O.E. - The Way I Are
Jennifer Lopez/Pitbull - On The Floor
Usher - More
Lady Gaga - Born This Way
Ke$ha - We R Who We R
Britney Spears - Hold It Against Me
Ciara/Petey Pablo - Goodies
The Script - For The First Time
Keri Hilson - Pretty Girl Rock

Right on it.

Elvis Duran sounds like a combination of
this guy, this guy, and this guy, with no connection to this guy!

 

[Ai4i]

Oh, and I forgot this guy whom they were all talking about!

It might be too much music for talk, which has lower fidelity anyway, and too talky for music. I'll bet the show costs a high fee to air though, and that alone probably prevents satellite carriage.

Elvis does not play music. The local feed does. Therefore, they could fill it with commercials or other promos for shows if they wanted to. Elvis also has his own promos and interview content to run during the breaks. As far as the fee, I'm sure it's a barter situation through CC. Now if they'd try to run it on a non-CC station, you'd see $$$$$

According to his clock, http://engineering.premiereradio.com/xds jpg clocks/XDS Aff Elvis Duran M-F.jpg , filling it with commercials or promos only gives you 32 minutes of program per hour, so I think they expect stations to fill it with music because I don't know who could bare such a commercial load. I'm not sure how CC works internally, so I don't know if they charge their own stations to carry non-barter shows they syndicate or not. CC on XM does carry FM music show Big D and Bubba. They also carry Bob and Tom's Saturday "Extra" show, but they don't carry the weekday show.

One thing XM 152 does with a couple shows is they DRR them to remove large commercial breaks and crunch them down into smaller timeslots. Elvis can be crushed into 3 hours but it still leaves a lot of commercial time. 42:40 program time per hour, with 1:00 network per "show hour."

 

[lovejamminoldies]

I don't listen to Nashville, but if I pay attention correctly, Nashville fills the breaks with music from their end during Big D & Bubba.

Elvis belongs on KISS or MIX if it's carried on XM. That way, they can fill it with music and it ends up being 4 hours long and strong.

none..

There's also a CC "premium" clock out there that has shorter commercial breaks that I think only goes out to some of the Clear Channel top 40 stations...listening the other day on iheartradio provided the raw satellight feed. Normal breaks are 9 minutes long but affils only NEED to fill like 6 1/2 or 7 minutes, the remaining time is filled by some sort of "best of" bit or a prerecorded holly gossip type report.

I like the fact that Nashville XM 11 plays a considerable amount of country music that is too new to be heard on conventional country stations. They have two hours each day devoted to new music. There is also a program over the weekend devoted to unsigned artists.
But I am puzzled why they are airing lots of hick hop- country music that resembles hip-hop. That would include such acts as Colt Ford, Moonshine Bandits, and the Lacs. As it sounds so unlike regular country music, I doubt that many country listeners enjoy it very much.
