I'm hearing lots o' KIM

R

radiosaur

I'm hearing 98.9 in a LOT of places nowdays. The haircut place seems to have switched from FM 100 and my wife's office from WRVR. Since I noticed that, I've heard it a lot more places. I wonder if that will translate into anything in the spring book.
 
I agree, I have noticed several places that have switched from FM100 to KIM. Several people at work who do not have SIRIUS, has KIM on. I also noticed at the gym, KIM is playing where FM100 use to play. Even Kinko's is playing KIM on the PA system.
 
That's nothing... if you listen at night, you'll hear KIM on FM100!

I had to hit FM 100’s web page to figure out what you were talking about, Rob.

Now, I have to ask….How smart is it to put a jock named Kim on your station when the competition’s station is named Kim? Is this Iverson chick a night jock or a talk show?
 
And, if i read her bio correctly, she's syndicated out of Austin........

Lovely; I guess this is their answer to Delilah...

thatll last until they hear the kim morning show. awful.
 
Its a new show, people should just give it a chance. All new shows suck in the beginning. But after time goes by and it is still bad, a certain station needs to be finding a new morning show me thinks.
 
My neighbor calls it shim fm. Is it a girl station. Everytime I turn it on (two seconds) I hear roy stewart singing about the train downtown. Henry nelson is cool but those two girls on his show got to go to wqox and learn something about talking and communicateing with folks. Go cubs. lls

Funny you mention haircut places because that's the only place I've ever heard Kim. All's I hear is FM 100 - it's almost freakish to me how often I hear that station playing in businesses in the Memphis area. I've also heard it in shops in Oxford!
 
You folks who are hearing a lot of Kim are in a small fraternity.

Maybe they are doing great in a handful of sandwich shops and hair salons, but they have managed to take 100,000 watts and barely crack a one share. The high-profile addition of Tom Prestigiacomo seems like a distant memory.

Right on their heels are a 4,000-watt all-Spanish station in Tunica and an invisible AM station serving up Bobby Darin and Tony Bennett. Both of them are Flinn stations, which adds to the embarrassment.

A quick visit to their web site yielded more bush-league tidbits. They don't know how to spell "variety," "Eurythmics" or "Aerosmith."

But the piece de resistance was provided by midday personality Cody Robbins. In her "Five Albums That Everyone Should Own" she included "Exit On Main Street" by The Rolling Stones. I could not find that one at amazon.com. I kept bumping into "Exile On Main Street."

I wonder if Cody has "Motel California," "Dark Side Of The Sun" or "Colonel Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in her collection?
 
Maybe, but I’d like to see the numbers in the demos. It’s not been nearly long enough with either the format or Tom to see what they can do. People I know are listening. I hear it in businesses. If they’ll stay with the format it will start to show in the book. That was The Cat’s mistake. I still think that station would have been a contender if they had just stuck with it long enough.

Let’s see in a year.
 
i was in a donut shop last week that had kim on. i asked the person behnd the counter what station it was and they said 104. big problem.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, as long as they don't have an arbitron diary, and as long as consultants don't quiz THEM about what music to play! ::)
