How this Seattle thread evolved into 10Q is beyond me but my family visited SoCal in ‘77 and 10Q was a highlight for this pre dj just out of high school. I thought they were great. Just an energetic top40 that really didn’t exist in the market at the time.

As David mentioned, for whatever reason, there were listeners in the Seattle area who either were able to hear KNTQ at night, or were LA transplants who Ten Q was their favorite station. Many times the reference to KNTQ came up in the various surveys. and research.

Knowing David used to work at KTNQ, my reply was related to a famous liner that in the day really stuck: "Don't say thank you, say Ten-Q." Probably one of the best slogans for a Top 40 station, ever.
 
Just to circle this thread back around to the recent PPM...

I happened to check out some of the programming on KNDD on my way home tonight. The music selection wasn't overtly terrible. There is still a decent mix of some of the songs that a longtime listener would expect to hear on 107.7, interspersed with the newer "tiktok" tracks (which has already been discussed extensively in this thread). Not really to my liking, but they are working to attract the next generation of listeners.

The national shows that Entercom has brought in are a different story. I can't comment on the midday or afternoon slots, but the evening programming with Kevan Kenney is downright awful. If I had to sum up the portion that I heard, I would describe it as an immature frat boy discussing the quality of women that he sleeps with at an excess of five minutes with his reluctant producer. I'm not an expert on programming by any stretch of the imagination, but this seems like a great way to turn away your female listeners. I don't see anything wrong with being a little edgy (if this is a direction that your company is willing to go), but this can quickly become a slippery slope if you don't plan accordingly. The Men's Room broadcast on KISW is known for discussing taboo topics, but this type of content works because they come across as genuine people who are having fun. By contrast, the evening programming on KNDD gives you the same feeling of spring break on Miami Beach.
