If you work for KZON. Just hours after KKFR switched slogans, they switched to copy them. I'm serious!

Besides losing in ratings and billing, they fire key staff it seems like once a week and hire "has been" talent and now they sit around and can only react to KKFR.

What's the point?
 
OMG, just checked out their website and they are the number one hit music station LOL

Will the real hit music station please stand up LOL
 
From what i am hearing KZON Filed for that slogan a couple weeks ago before KKFR flipped.

Probably not coincidentally, WBBM-FM (B96) in Chicago -- KZON's sister station -- recently flipped from "Chicago's Hits & Hip-Hop" to "Chicago's #1 Hit Music Station".
 
Makes sense, so I am guessing KKFR's slogan will be changing here very soon. not a good way to start off your Re-Imaging campaign
 
How can KZON even claim to be "the valley's #1 hit music station," when they are behind both Power and 104.7 KISS FM in the ratings? I have seen no evidence that they have been #1 in anything. Isn't this false advertising on their part? :eek:

They probably filed for the slogan The Valley's #3 Hit Music Station. rotfl
 
well now that KKFR is trying to play in that pool JamZ is #2. JamZ has the 4 highest listnership in the entire Phoenix market 340,000 to KKFR's 295,000.

Should be interesting to see how things unfold now with 3 top 40 stations. I noticed KKFR's new logo is the exact same as Hot 97 in New York
 
Would you kzon apologists please stop your station is so god awful and worthy of being banned from phoenix god i wish i could get to happen.Kzon is adisaster and failure but everyone knows that nothing will save them i look forward to there flip and it won't come to soon for that failure of aradio station piece of f##% crap
 
And what exactly makes KZON crap? Any factual evidence to support your cry baby whinning about a station that has seemed to hurt your emotional state so bad that you result to posting garbage with nothing to support your claims?
 
Why do you feel obligated to defend them.I liked kzon when they were alt and when they were talk but i hate the fact they filled a hole that was not needed in phoenix and they are very bad at it!!!I like power i like kiss so leave the hip hop to peeps that have been doin it.
 
I dont feel obligated to defend them at all. I am just going by the numbers if they were so horrible that would be reflected in ratings. they dont do poorly at all. thats like if i came on here and just started bashing KNIX for beeing so horrible compared to KMLE. I am all about critiscm when it is warranted thats all.

Now THAT is funny. You work at CBS and defend the 3rd out of 3 Top 40 station every chance you get. You are right, the numbers aren't horrible unless of course you compare them to KZZP or KKFR. And the fact they reacted to KKFR so quickly today shows how little confidence or belief they have in the station and staff.

Keep making excuses, keep losing. I'm sure if you dig deep enough in Maximizer you can find some daypart or demographic that you don't completely fail in.

Again for the hard of hearing.

18-34
1. KKFR
2. KHOT
3. KZZP
4. KMXP
5. KZON

5th in 18-34 is very salable.
 
Agreed, but made that much harder when your two competitors are beating you.

Fair?

And I doubt the PD Waters promised CBS they would settle into 3rd in the CHR battle.
