What happened was that U102 came in and eliminated the Urban AM.

And 3Points/Marathon/whatever their name is didn't show a damn lick of commitment.

I think someone should sign on a Urban or Urban AC on FM for this city. That would be a better served ninche that trying to play classic rock on a Rim Shot.<P ID="signature">______________

I think Denver radio sucks. Period. At 9:00 at night the best thing I can find on the radio is Dr. Laura! That is a problem - A re-run of a national show is the best thing on? It's true! And I'm a male in my 20's... PUKE! It's why I have XM in one car, and Sirius in the other now...

Josh, first of all, the rimshot your talking about is one of our new rimshots that (hoping with everything that I got) will finally launch formats on the two rimshots. (KBRU 101.5 & KSIR 107.1 for those who don't know what I am talking about). KBRU has been testing with Classic Rock but we don't know that will actually be the TRUE format. We're just on a waiting game with those two rim shots.

Second, yes KXUU/U102 came on and in a way did eliminate 1510 KDKO but not in a true fashion. KDKO faultered on it's own. KXUU barely felt any impact on Denver radio. And still to this day, 102.1 is a rimshot that can barely be heard in the Denver metro and more or less now it's faded with the launch of NRC's launch of the 102.3 upgrade.

Third, I agree with everyone that we defently need to give KQKS some competition and either a new CHR/RHY or a new Urban station needs to launch in Denver. My fingers are crossed that one of the rimshots will fill that void.<P ID="signature">______________

They did the same thing in New Orleans and San Francisco. And we already know what happened to those two. What works for them in Salt Lake City(With Rhythmic Top 40 KUUU) won't work elsewhere.

As for KDKO's demise, KXUU wasn't the only one responsible, and you can thank KQKS and KJMN(Remember them?) for adding to the friction of AM 1510's downfall.
