Houston needs another Hip Hop station!!!
- Thread starter DJNOBLE
- Start date
Seriously. Is this a joke?
Houston is over hip-hopped & over-espanoled.

I'm hoping that Col. gets the All Hawiian, Polka, Bowiling Alley, etc.. music format going soon. The unheard masses are aching for their music genre to be launched in Houston.... and Col. St. James is the man. How about the "Kev & Col in the Morning" show? Don't it just give ya goose bumps?

Urban AC or Urban Oldies maybe, but we don't need anymore Hip-Hop in the market. It's as oversaturated as Classic Rock is.

EXACTLY!!!!
People who don't listen to hip-hop that much can say that we don't need another station because they do not realize how much hip-hop artist and r&b artists are coming out of houston, which is about the same, or even more, as those that come out of Atlanta. And for this city that only has one urban station, it just doesn't look right to me.
KRBE AND HOT 95.7 DONT break local houston music!
the dj's in the mixshow will if they can! and much love to them but there is lil mixshow on krbe and HOT
and with lil to NO MIXSHOW u get NO BREAKING ARTISTS AND that leads to NO HIPHOP!
yes Houston music scene is like no other! in all the top 10 markets its known that Houston is up there in making stars! local Houston artists like UGK,Ghetto Boys,Paul Wall,Chamillionaire,Trae,Mike Jones, Slim Thug, and so many more! HIPHOP helps the growth of the city! and generates corporate dollars!
with no competition in the market the BOXX does not have to break artists and thats sad!
(they still break music but don't have to)
hiphop is in its big hair stage like rock once was!
and top40/dance music is big right now but things come in cycles
dance music got big back in the day (early 90's around the time of C+C Music factory) then it slowed down in the mainstream!
so just cus top40/dance is big dont mean hiphop is dying understand that
as long as there is urban youth hip hop will always be there!
hiphop relates to people in the struggle!
even before the rescission there was more people with out money then with!
look at the markets and think about what hiphop artists come from where!
New York
Los Angeles
Chicago
San Francisco
Dallas-Fort Worth
Houston-Galveston
Atlanta
Philadelphia
Washington/Baltimore
Boston
NOW WHOS GONNA BE SMART AND BRING THE 2nD URBAN/RHY STATION!!

Could overnites be Cajun and Zydeco? I miss hearing "Cajun Bandstand" out of Beaumont back in the day...

That's a great idea... Need a big name from the bayou to do the show (definately no VT'ing at this station)

That's a stretch at best. Atlanta is the epicenter of "dirty south" hip-hop culture.

Well as long as were are all wishing for things that are not gonna happen like getting a new hip hop station, i vote that we get another CCM station that plays christian rock, this market doesnt have any chrisitian rock stations and we should get one before we get another hip hop station, what about KHPT could we see another SPIRIT format, doubtful we'll see any of these formats but who knows.
I think it's certainly in the near future. another "true" urban station and another urban ac station. it's been 5 yrs since another urban ac station was here (POwer 97.5) gave it a run but didnt stick to their gunz. hints why majic 102 has been on top so long... ZERO competition in the market. It's tooo many $$$$ in the market to keep things the way they are much longer.
radiothrowback said:
Oh man, i remember Power 97.5 like it was yesterday. The music wasn't so limited like Majic is today, it was a wide variety of good songs. Plus they had Doug Banks in the morning which was a very good show (steve harvey would've been better). The only reason it wouldn't have worked was because it was a rimshot and the signal was pretty crappy.
With some positive thinking, either an urban or urban ac would probably happen within the next couple of months or so i hope.
Power 97.5 couldn't make it for the same reason discussed many times in this forum. It does NOT cover Houston. I did secure a great Power 97.5 ceramic coffee cup in the aftermath when it changed to FM Newschannel 97.5.I got one of those, too!
