KDND and KNCI big digit music gainers. KFBK losing listeners, nobody whats to hear "They will not bring back jobs to this country".
Cume wise, KTHK higher than KNBR. Rating wise, KNBR higher than KHTK. Hmmm, a big problem for 1140. KSFM and KDND, good as usual. KHHM 103.5, cume grows higher and rating up to 3.3, but this increase to last temporary, probably. No difference numbers wise for this station from last year "The Bomb" to this year "Hot 103.5." And still no 1240 on the air.

KHHM music will never same again. KHTK doesn't have MLB, NBA or the FIFA World Cup. If you're in to that KNBR's Giants baseball or KHTK's Sportsphone 1140, return of Don Geronimo, Jim Rome Show, Auto Racing, Kings basketball or the NFL. Besides, KHTK ups the ante with Loveline. Second coming only in the Democrat era. The return of the spin doctors from the 90's.

1140 and 1320 is pathetic. Loveline on 1140, hmmm. 1320 is bad because they're ESPN and no local shows except for the two minute local shows. I only listen to 1140 when the Kings are on, or when there's Kings talk without Grant and Mike. John Dickinson should have his own show and should have kept Koz on the air instead of Don. And then Fox Sports Radio on 1140 is not to exciting either. 1140 and 1320 are pathetic. 680 is way better and I listen to them more because of the Giants and real sport s shows in northen Cali, although being bay area.coffeegrinder8 said:btone1035 said:Cume wise, KTHK higher than KNBR.

I knew Rock 98 was hot when everywhere i go in this city I see nasty tattoos on men and women. Even in nice places like Roseville and Rocklin.
Nice to see 98.5 #1 again. I remember the good old days when 98.5 was the #1 station in the 1980's as KZAP.
Was KRXQ 93 Rock back then?

KRXQ moved from 93.7 to 98.5 in 1998.

KRXQ moved from 93.7 to 98.5 in 1998.
and from 93.5 to 93.7 in 1988-9
KPOP-93.5 switched from CHR to AOR in 1986. First changed calls to KDJQ but changed it again to KRXQ. Around 1987, KRXQ moved to 93.7. If memory serves me right, KZAP was the #1 station around 1982 and remained so for quite awhile. I think KRXQ-93.7 started to eat away at KZAP's ratings around 1988. The final nail to KZAP's coffin was delivered by KSEG-96.9 in 1990. KZAP went Country in 1992 as KNCI. There is an excellent history site about KZAP by former KWOD pd, Alex Cosper somewhere. Maybe someone can provide a link to that site?radiovictim said:Nice to see 98.5 #1 again. I remember the good old days when 98.5 was the #1 station in the 1980's as KZAP.

Have to give Alex a TON of credit. Great job documenting this stuff for a radio market that from time to time seems "less than historic". Kudos, Alex!
Thanks bbutler!bbutler said:Whoops, actually this is a more direct way to it: http://www.playlistresearch.com/sacramentoradio.htm
In the Autumn 1978 ratings, KZAP had a 2.7 12 plus share as a Progressive Rock station. It's slightly more mainstream competion KSFM had a 4.7 12 plus share.
In January 1979 KZAP's new owners flipped to Mainstream AOR as a Burkhart-Abrams Superstars client. Their ratings soared to 8.1, while KSFM fell to a 3.1 12 plus shart.
In September 1979, KSFM flipped from Progressive Rock to "Mass Appeal" CHR. In the Spring of 1980, KZAP then rose to number one in the market with a 15 twelve plus share. It was the only commercial rock station in town at that time.
In 1981, KROY-FM (96.9) and AM (1240) moved into a more Mainstream AOR format. They got decent shares in the 4s. KZAP remained in the upper 8s and lower 9s.
In 1984, KROY-FM dropped AOR for Soft AC. KZAP's ratings remained high (8s), but did not match their 1980-81 Success.
On Friday, January 10, 1986, KPOP (93.5) flipped from CHR to AOR as KDJQ and eventually KRXQ. Their ratings remained in the 2s and 3s, 12 plus until they moved to the 93.7 frequency in July 1988 and upgraded their signal from 3kw to 25kw. "93Rock" skewed towards younger listeners with mainstream hard rock. Their rise in ratings are well-detailed on Alex Cosper's website. KZAP's ratings slide began with the debut of 93 Rock at a Metro-Grade signal.
KSEG's debut in November 1990 pulled the upper demos away from KZAP. By the end of 1991, KZAP had a 2.1 share. On Sunday, January 20, 1992, KZAP went country as "Fresh Country 98." KZAP's last song was "Christo Redentor" by Harvey Mandel. That was the same song KZAP used to sign on each morning with when they debuted back in November 1968. Prior to their sign-off song, KZAP had a pre-recorded Sunday evening special known as "Charlie's CD Cellar," where complete releases were played back. Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever" was cut off in mid-stream, so "Christo Redentor" could be played for the last time prior to the midnight format switch.
In August 1998, 93 Rock moved to the 98.5 frequency, and the rest is history. I wonder if any other broadcaster will attempt to challenge Entercom's KRXQ for its share of the audience? We live in unique times.
