Oh and this just in from Allaccess:
KEOM Mesquite, TX adopts a new modern rock format that doesn't pre-date the student body by 25 years. Robert Bass was quoted" It got really boring playing most of the same songs the 30 Year old Guidance Counselor's were conceived to".
Baha!!!!

You mean 40+, since the current 30 crowd wants the 80's.

Who is Sara on Movin 107.5??
"I heard a rumor..that MOViN in San Francisco is changing back to Oldies on 5/16 and that CBS wants out of the MOViN business. Do I smell a flip for 107.5 in DFW next week?"
I can't speak for your 107.5, but I think the rumor is premature, and MOViN 99.7 here in San Francisco is...unfortunately...not going anywhere yet. The station has just gone into heavy promotion mode for a new contest, and those tiresome wriggling butt TV commercials have returned, and are in heavy rotation the past week.
I would think this is odd behavior for a station that is flipping formats in a week. More likely - they are putting some energy into raising the pitiful ratings (0.9 Winter book). If all this fails to produce results in the Spring - maybe we can expect a format change in the summer.

Perhaps KFRC is going to be reborn on 1550AM and 106.9 FM! Just say a little fly on the wall told you!
The deed is done and so is KIFR Free FM as KFRC is alive and well on 106.9 Classic Hits and A's Baseball. Is Dallas next? The calls change next week on 99.7 and 106.9
It's amazing what happened in San Francisco, and you've got to wonder if the master plan changed somewhere along the way or if this was the original idea. For anyone who hasn't been following this, first CBS blew up oldies on KFRC 99.7 and replaced it with Movin' (soon to have call letters KMVQ), only to return with the classic hits KFRC format on 106.9 today. That means Free FM KIFR is no more, although some of the shows will switch over to AM 1550. In other words, they're being allowed to die a slow death on the other band.
You have to ask yourself, in light of all the protests over shock jocks, did CBS decide to pull the plug on FM talk and then make up for the Movin' mistake? It looks like that's the case, since they could have killed Free FM by putting Movin' on 106.9 in the first place, and left KFRC at 99.7. Instead the listeners have to find them elsewhere now, and CBS has to spend more advertising dollars (in addition to the big bucks they're spending on the Movin' campaign).
Best question of the day.

I've been told by reliable sources the New KFRC will be mostly voice tracked. As a matter of fact Bobby Ocean was offered the job of imaging voice but he said it was the worst money he's been offered in 20 years!!! Not surprising.
These companies today just won't learn from there past mistakes. Bring back KFRC with an automated sound will not work in the 4th largest market!!! Apparently CBS is determined to screw it up in san francisco AGAIN. :'(
