Has KOOI Sunny 106 flipped to Classic Hits?

The sound quality of internet stations can sound worse than AM radio. I save internet stations for News/Talk as they normally have poor bitrates.

Not always. Some do, but lots don't. Anything over 64 is decent, there are even a good amount of stations that go over 128. Like this hip-hop station, 320 KB. http://67.159.45.87:8210/

I've caught Sunny 106.5 on my Jeep's car stereo in Fort Worth. But in Austin, Radio-Locator's lists a 99w translator at 106.5 http://radio-locator.com/info/K293BF-FX

BTW their webstream doesn't sound bad. I just wish more stations would dump Windows Media streaming and use Mp3.

Oh, yeah I forgot about Keliah 106.5

Still, KOOI's programming seems a little different than what I would consider to be a true "Classics Hits" station like KLUV or KONO. They still play a lot of 90's stuff like Jewel and Sarah McLachlan, especially during the day. I guess they are still trying to keep the 30-something female office worker demographic. They played a Nelly Furtado song during the day on Saturday, which is something that seems totally out place on a classic hits station. At night, the Tom Kent show is almost exclusively 70's-80's stuff and seems to fit right in.

It seems that's where the Classic Hits format is evolving toward, or they are trying to ease listeners into this new format. The earliest song I've heard Sunny 106.5 was the 4 Tops "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" from 1965, the latest was Whitney's "I'm Every Woman" from 1993.
