With all of the growth in the northern exurbs of D/FW, I'm
surprised that none of the rimshots up there aren't showing
better. KSOC, KRNB, KTYS, KESN and the rest are not at all
``weak'' signals in a technical sense. Most of them cover
more square miles than the Cedar Hill facilities.
But, like real estate, it's location, location, location...
Sure, KSOC and KRNB would do better if they covered the
target's hot zips. But I (and probably Salem, too) was
expecting better when KLTY (``moving' on up'') was on 100.7.
As you've advocated in the past, I wonder how 94.5 would
fare with a gospel format from way up there in Ethel?

As i stated in another thread, I think gospel would be a good move. I think it would really stand up and take notice (look at WHAL in Memphis... went from bottom to top in practically 1 book). just my thoughts....

And that's what I'm saying, but look at WEAK signal WPZE in Atlanta. Their signal is not all that great, but their numbers are.

Re: Actually I would say K-R-L-D
You can look at the ratings at R&R but needless to say on the latest ones that came out KLIF and KRLD TIED..... Even KLLI beat KLIF and KRLD.... How sad that the "NewsRadio" station is getting beat by the station airing David Lee Roth.

Re: THE DEATH MARCH OF KRLD
Every one of the top ten markets has a news station in the "top 10" except DFW.
It is an absolute shame that the 30+ year heritage news station here has sunk to the depths that they have. CBS made a huge mistake with DLR. Putting Gavin Spittle in charge of KRLD and putting the Las Vegas weekender Spanky McFarland on the air are two other huge mistakes locally. I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel for 1080 on their current course.

If I'm not mistaken, WBAP is still "News/Talk" and has been in the top 10 for many consecutive books...

Your are correct; but WBAP is 90%+ talk. All the top ten markets have a 90%+ news station and a talk station in the top ten.

Re: THE DEATH MARCH OF KRLD
I know I'm in the minority, but I like KRLD for what it is. The AM and PM Drive news is fast paced, they're no better or no worse than any other station on traffic. They usually get the 1st 20-30 minutes of my commute to work and home again. Giving David Johnson more time to do biz stuff again during the 6 PM hour is a good move.
Ernie does a good talk show, and I like the hour of give and take he does with McFarland at noon, though it's very rare when I get to hear either show.
Don't try to compare KRLD with any of the other legendary CBS news stations (WCBS-WINS-WBBM-KCBS-KNX-KFWB etc). Dallas is not and never will be a market where radio heritage means something. Nor is it a particularly outstanding local news market.
Besides it all comes down to billing and as has been mentioned here, KRLD does pretty well in that department.
Of course I'm probably more in KRLD's target demo than the other 99% of the experts here.
So quit whinning.

For the most part i would rather hear conservatives like Savage,O'Reilly, Prager, even in doses Alan Colmes radio show. Getting kind of tired of El Rushbo. Still can be funny at times but Rush and Hannity is just too much.
Hannity and Laura The Lez Ingram are so arrogant and negative. Clearly Hannity is STILL yapping about his confrontation with Alec Baldwin for one reason. IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM!
