I wish San Antonio had an Urban AC, nothing has filled the void of KSJL.
Does Cox Radio do Urban AC?
Also,
Radio One owns both 97.9 the Box, and the Urban AC Majic 102.1 (which sometimes I can pick up near Texas State University in San Marcos battling KQXT 101.9 in San Antonio.) when that happens I can also hear Mega 101.1 KLOL battle it out with KONO 101.1
Is there any way to see the ratings for *all* the stations, including those that do not subscribe to Arbitron?
Yes. Miami (WHQT) and Birmingham (WBHK; and the highest ranked urban AC in the country).willdav713 said:Mike said:mr.ric said:And Urban is ONCE AGAIN still on top...

Cox also has its flagship urban, WALR in Atlanta. But until last year Cox ran that station in the ground due to its urban oldies format being overplayed (it was fragmented to WBTS and WFOX in the 2000s for that reson).ksradiogeek said:Yes.

KBXX and KMJQ have always been in the Top 5 (sometimes 10) for sometime now. Seems like Radio One invests in the Houston cluster this way to ensure finances for local programming aside from Tom Joyner overall; Madd Hatta still has a job and syndicated radio (i.e. Rickey Smiley) is kept at bay. But music wise, KBXX still runs their selection into the ground while KMJQ has improved its selection as of recent - they play more 80s and 90s on the weekends now.mr.ric said:And Urban is ONCE AGAIN still on top...
Also it is due to full market coverage too. The last time Houston had other full market urbans aside from the two are Love 94 and KPTY (104.9 albeit a lower wattage).

Wasn't Love 94 a Adult Contemporary station? Are you sure it was Urban Adult Contemporary? I think you are mistaking KLTY 93.7 which was Disco in the late 70s early 80s (The station that played the most Bee Gee's Songs) with KHYS Y-98.5 1987-9/1988 1st incarnation and 2/1991-5/1995 second incarnation "Y-98.5 is back" which was Urban AC until the Clear Channel Radio acquired KMJQ followed by the launch of AM 1590 Solid Gold Soul (Soul Oldies-KYOK)
KPTY was a Rhythmic CHR, not Urban Contemporary. Party 104.9 never was an Urban Contemporary Station. The House Party 100.7 started off as a Dance intensive with Latin flavor CHR after the departure of KISS 98.5/103.3 to KTJM.

That whole era seems to be a little ahead of your time. See this: http://houstonradiohistory.blogspot.com/2010/11/fm-chronology-1960s-part-iii-kbno-fm.html
Note that Love 94 was KRLY 93.7 (nee KBNO), which had transitioned to a Top 40 (following its disco days) with an increasing AC/urban slant before becoming Urban AC in 1981. One notable at Love 94 was Val Wilson, who later moved on to KMJQ.

Well it may have been KHYS 98.5 during the early 80's that continued Disco, I remember in 1983 listening a station with a whole lot of Disco songs and Bee Gees music in Jones Creek.
I thought Urban Adult Contemporary didn't emerge until 1987. Started by Barry Mayo.
KTRH has fallen lower than the heel on a worn out tennis shoe. KUHF is kicking ass in the "real radio news" department. Did KTRH hire Ms Fryar(sic?) to do endorsement spots? Her weight loss spots are so general.
