Rimshots are stations that are licensed to serve an outlying market (e.g. Payson, Globe, or Prescott) but are moved closer to a larger city (such as Phoenix) in order to attract the larger listener and (especially) advertiser base there. They still try to serve their original area at the same time (kinda sorta - only to keep the FCC happy), since they can't move directly into the desired city.
Examples include 94.1 & 100.3 in Globe, 101.1 and 104.3 in Payson, and 95.1, 97.5, and the soon-to-be 98.3 which are licensed to serve the Prescott area. These stations don't cover the whole metro area and as a result aren't as successful as the ones on South Mountain.
Actually, I remember both of them (actually KMEO) - the 740/96.9 simulcast of the '60s & '70s and the mid '90s smooth-jazz KYOT-wannabe on 93.7 out of Wickenburg that is now KSWT 96.3.
Ah, yes, "Cameo." Once owned by Bonneville, now proud possessors of KTAR, etc. There was a time when KMEO at 97FM and 740 AM was often the #1 station in town. They were in a pitched battle with KRFM (later KQYT) 95FM for the "Beautiful Music" listener. When that format died, so did those stations, but KMEO hung on longer than KQYT. One of the few Beautiful Music stations left in the country is KAHM in Prescott.
Thanks for the anwsers, the reason why i asked about cameo, was my dad was a disc jockey there back in the day
As I recall, KMEO was one of those easy listening stations that would be too mellow to play in a funeral home.
Just think about the background music Lou Grubb used to play on his commericals.
Ugly flashbacks, really ugly flashbacks about Lou Grubb, Read Mullen Ford, Cal Worthington, and Pete Ellis Dodge (freeway 17, camelback exit Phoe----nix)

Woo Gwub's commercials were classic, no hype, no Yippie Yie Ohhh for him. And if you don't think it still works, catch The Jones' on KT'R and KFY~Eye. The music is still the same as 20 years ago. The Nurse and I dig it...reminds us of taking an Otis Elevator to the top of the Westward Ho!
