This early morning has netted me some unusual catches and 2 new loggings. Started looking around after finding KVNS-Brownsville screaming into town extremely clear and constantly strong.
First one found was KTBQ-Nacogdoches, complete with RDS "Classic Rock Q107". Something wrong with the station, though. Audio went dead several times on the station, RDS kept going, then a minute or so would pass and the audio would return. Heading down the dial, next catch was a fight between KFMK-Round Rock and KUZN-Centerville at 105.9. Continuing on down, the next find was KYKS-Lufkin at 105.1, which tends to make its way to Houston, but is unusually strong tonight. Speaking of Lufkin, sounds like KJ 103 has returned to the air. Found them at 103.3 with a new moniker of "103 The Bull", call remains KJCS-Nacogdoches/Lufkin. Down the dial a bit further and we find 100.1 KYBI-Lufkin complete with RDS "Y-100". Pretty impressive considering it is only 20kW and sitting next door to our local KILT-FM at 100.3. Next was KTYL-Tyler "Mix 93.1". Wishing all a Happy Memorial Day from the Tyler Fort. Station did not ID at 3am.
Next catch was one of two new loggings from Arkansas. KKPT-Little Rock, "The Point, 94.1". Classic Rock format. Second catch was KHKN-Maumelle/Little Rock. Now, folks there are Jack style stations, then there is this little gem. I had to stay with 94.9 for awhile. No RDS on the station, and wow what a train wreck of a format. In the 30 minutes I listened, they played Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam, The Eagles, a smooth jazz type song, Dean Martin & Sinatra's duet of "I Left My Heart in San Fransisco", then a country song that I didn't recognize. I'd like to know what kind of ratings this gets as it is more outside the box than any Jack, Bob, etc. that I've ever heard.
Then the Mexican/Texas Valley stations started coming in which yielded XHAVO-Rio Bravo, Mexico. "Digital 101.5" My Spanish is not very good, but they had a commercial in English for a dealership in Pharr, thankfully letting me ID the station. KKPN-Rockport "Planet 102.3" playing a dance/techno mix fighting with Hip Hop KPEZ-Austin at 102.3. Neither station exceptionally strong. Next was KKPS-Brownsville playing Tejano...yes real Tejano. ID'ed as "Que Pasa 99.5". First I've ever heard KKPS at 99.5. Usually KNGT from Lake Charles or KISS-San Antonio.
One that I can't ID, but it was at 97.5. Pretty weak signal and getting pushed around by Corpus Christi's country station KFTX, but they were playing Butthole Surfers followed by Primus. Couldn't have been KWTX-Waco, and doubtful it was K-Lake from Dallas. Isn't KLAK still an AC station? This one puzzles me, but what ever it was between KFTX and it, semi-local KFNC from Beaumont was M.I.A.
