Hot 106.7 Is coming

[fredcantu]

...is Border sending the Austin's Greatest Hits team to San Antonio for 102.7? hmmm.

This would be a good time to give credit to the KXBT programming team for the growth they've enjoyed in recent months.
They knew the bank had other plans for the station, but they made great strides with it instead of just babysitting it.

And they did a tremendous job! One of the only stations I have my tuner glued on to 24/7.

If they do that to 102.7 they need to adjust the equalizer on the board. 102.7 at it's current state sounds way distorted. I can see Bo Chase in the Mornings at 102.7, and Greg Martin for Saturday Night Dance Fever at some club on the north side!

Instead of Andi, which will be at KOKE, Hot Henrietta or Trey Ware will do the afternoon drive!
Now, Fred, that's an idea!

KAJA 9.0, KCYY with a 6.4, KJXK with a 5.3. I still place my wager on KKYX-FM which AM is at 0.5
KKYX-FM at 106.7 would probably bill a 3.1 which is a whole lot better than 1.7 that is assuming that KAJA listeners like Country classics.

I'm not sure what you mean by "would probably bill a 3.1." In terms of ratings, a classic country station that got a 3.1 would normally bill the same as a station in the 1.5-2.0 share range because most of the audience is 55+. I don't think there's a 6 share for KKYX on FM, which is about what it would need to bill like a station with a 3.1. I also don't think it would do any significant damage to KAJA. I'll grant you it's been awhile since I listened, but the KJ-97 I remember was more current heavy than Y-100. So, running classic country, especially if it was updated to appeal to the 35-50 crowd, would cut more into Y-100 than KJ.

Lets say Cox flips 106.7 to Chuck FM a Variety Hits station like Jack. Chuck would probably bill a 2.5 at the most.

Adult hits typically bills above its ratings share. If Cox were to do Chuck (and I don't think there's a chance they will) and get a 2.5, it would bill closer to a station with a 4.0 share.

Do honestly believe they would put a 0.5 station on a 100,000 watts frequency? Really?

A Variety format is possible but my guess is very similar to Kent. Chr is probably in the cards for 106.7. This will capture the younger generation that Magic is unable to obtain. It helps Kiss and fills in a void in their cluster.

All Cox needs to do is stop playing classics on Y-100 and become more current heavy. KAJA is at 9.0, 9.0 KCYY at 6.4 as of August 2012, down .1 from last month. KBBT is 2nd place at 6.5

When True Oldies was at rimshot 92.5 in Elgin they couldn't make it past 2.0, as they moved to 98.9 the ratings increased. KTKX ratings are as low as now defunct 98.9 The Big Talker.

KKYX will never hit a 6 share, true but the station could improve KCYY's ratings pushing the Beat down a couple of notches.

Also KTFM is at a 3.8, I would expect 106.7 to have the same numbers if they were to switch to CHR.

Ever since 2004, Mix 96.1 is a different sounding station compared to 1998-2004

Austin and S.A. are two different markets with two different demos.

Both KTFM and Mix 96.1 are the top two stations in the female demo 18-34. What station in SA wouldn't like to be at the top within their target demo?

And where would that put 106.7?

In the bottom of the 3rd.
Have they been successful clipping a huge share from KZEP?

I don't see how that helps Y-100. Dropping back on the golds and putting KKYX on FM would simply place Y-100 further into competition with KJ-97 while sending the older demos in the audience to KKYX. The result would Y-100 losing more listeners than KJ. While Cox runs classic and contemporary country in Houston and Louisville, they're in much different situations in those markets. Q-103.1 and 93Q play minimal gold while their competitors (WAMZ and KILT-FM) have a sound more like Y-100.

Also KTFM is at a 3.8, I would expect 106.7 to have the same numbers if they were to switch to CHR.

As saradio mentions, KTFM does really well in its target demo. A CHR format on 106.7 would almost certainly generate more buys, agency and local, than the classic rock format.

KTKX has knocked KZEP down by 1/3.

Anyone know when its suppose to flip?? These things usually take awhile right??

Maybe in a couple weeks at the latest, possibly with the release of iOS 6. LOL that's a random guess.

 

[gabigley1]

Is this defiantly going to happen? ???

 

[jras20]

Is this defiantly going to happen? ???

I hope not, would be a waste for 3 top 40 stations. If anything they should become a real hip hop and r&b station, and not be slow at putting in new music, no "play it safe"

 

[Anonymouse]

Well, let's hope that it does flip. And not to talk radio or Triple A either.

But seeing as both were the station's last failed formats before classic rock, I doubt it'll happen with those two.
Maybe they're waiting until 104.9 is on the air to make changes, and I have a feeling there may be many.

 

[radiodog2]

Adult R&B would be a format that they haven't tried on 106.7 so maybe they should try it.

Make that Urban Adult Hits, a Urban Jack! City 106.7!!!! Your Radio Station. Next song, Zapp "Slow and Easy" followed by Alicia Keys "Fallin" along with a couple of currents per hour.

 

[davi78239]

Well?? What's taking so long?? Did they back out on the "flip"??

 

[Anonymouse]

Well?? What's taking so long?? Did they back out on the "flip"??

Probably, due to Wild 105.
Or they'll finally launch 104.9 soon and then something'll change. I've wondered what's taking 104.9 sooo long to start!

 

[bringbackradio]

They already failed once as a top 40 station, can San antonio support 3 top 40 stations? Kind of a waste. They should try alternative or a true r&b like Magic in Houston.

In San Antonio? I know back in the day S.A had a nice R&B station, along with a nice smooth Jazz station on 106.7 (man that was a good station,could pick it up on certain days from Central Texas). Back in the 90s San Antonion had a sizable African American population on the east, southeast side of San Antonio, is it still the same today?

According to the 2010 Census (which NEVER translates into Arbitron listenership anyway) San Antonio's Black population reached under 100k. It was around 80k in 2000 and 65k in 1990. Too bad KSJL was never the same ever since Inner City exited the market in 1998 and CC ran it in the ground.
