Just curious

Do anybody on here know why 97.9 The Beat cut their Saturday night mixshow by 2 hours and K104 cut theirs by 1 hour? Both end at 12am. I don't like it, because I'm a big fan of mixshows, and this just make me hate Dallas/Ft. Worth urbans even more.

probably cost moves, black owned radio stations are hurting in this economy

Not just black or minority owned stations are hurting right now. Everybody is hurting in radio. Just ask all the people fired in the last few months. White, black, brown, it doesn't matter.
Are some hurting worse than others? You bet. Any station owned by a small group or individually owned station is going to be suffering. Costs go up, ad revenue is down.

Low ratings, maybe?

Do anyone think PPM is playing a part in this? Strange thing is it's only the Saturday night mixshows. Kiss FM's mixshow still run until 2am. I am so disappointed with this market when it comes to radio. Smaller market stations are sounding better and that's sad.

Hell, yall should be thankful yall still got 2 urban stations up there, unlike down here in Houston. :'(

What is The Box doing down there? I remember when Clear Channel owned them. They did a mix weekend every holiday. They used to be an excellent station. You never know, 106.9 might be your future urban.

The Box is still mixing every night, as usual. they end at midnight sunday-thursday and almost 4am friday and saturday. They were much better back then when they were owned by clear channel. 106.9 could be the future urban down here if only someone at Cox would sober up and finally flip the low-rated "point". They've been getting 2.1's for years!!

I thought 107.5 was taking over The Point's format and 106.9 was going to do something else.

I wish that was true, but no that's just a rumor. 107.5 is leaning a little towards classic rock because they recently got a morning show that the actual classic rock station, 93.7 the arrow, used to have. 106.9 will unfortunately still be "the point", even though 107.5 is playing a little more 80's now.

107.5 is Spanish, not any other else. And also this is Dallas, not Houston.
