When was the last time you listened?? They have really stepped it up in the last few months.
It doesnt sound GHETTO to me.... it just sounds like they cater more to HISPANICS
HISPANIC doesnt equal GHETTO (or ghetto lite). This is LOS FREAKIN ANGELES... what do you expect?
im a 24 y/o white boy and I LOVE the station. Their demos arent listening? Maybe they need to BROADEN the demo. Its the white people that I know listening.
and out of KHHT, KJLH and KBIG, 104.3 is the ONLY thing that comes anywhere close to KMVN. AT least MOViN has direction! KBIG adjusts themselves more than my father does!
KZLA is dead, get over it. Theres 2 other country stations to listen to.
I listen to every English language FM in Los Angeles EVERY week at the very least.
Stepped up what? The amateur unimaginative repetitive imaging? Just listening to the positioning statement for this station repeated over and over as they beat it like a dead horse is enough to make anyone listening cringe. There has been no shift/change in the music. So I don't know what you are posting about.
Movin not only shares music with KBIG, KJLH and KHHT but also KRBV and KRTH and even KOST. There is OLDIES OVERKILL in this market. Movin should end and become like FRESH in New York City or target the upper end demos of KIIS by playing much more current product.
Tera Bonilla and Mario Fuentes are "ghetto lite" jocks. Poor quality air talent that "sound" like they have come from the streets....just not quite up to the real ghetto sound of the "personalities" (using that term lightly) of Power 106. They still haven't filled the night shift or weekends except with the "Boomer" on Friday nights during the mix show who is an incredible disappointment mostly just taking set-up calls welcoming himself back.
Rick Dees has self-destroyed his image as "Ricardo Diaz" at Movin. Having to yield and early on be corrected by Patty "Longlegs" Lopez - a no-talent nobody - on words/phrases/sayings in Spanish has made him look like the total mid 50's white man trying to appear hip that he is. The one thing Patty Lopez has done to Dees is make it incredibly obvious he isn't young or hip and can't relate to that audience. So much for surrounding yourself with someone half your age. But that is HIS fault.
I could not agree more that Movin needs to branch out and embrace ALL of Los Angeles and not try to just target itself at Hispanic females who they think have graduated from Power 106. In case they haven't noticed at Emmis, it isn't working anyway and they've done a terrible job trying to service them in the first place.
The only "white" people I have run into that seem to like this station are gay. They tend to like the House mixes just like gay-friendly KBIG and former L.A. dance stations KDL, Groove & Mars, the original Power 106, KUTE 102 and KIIS when it was dance friendly in 1979-1980 or so.
The sooner the better this JOKE on L.A. radio comes to an end. Movin needs to quickly enter the "Hall of Shame" of the worst radio stations this market has ever had which is currently topped by "Rock With A Beat" and KDL.
