KAHL 1310 will sound nostalgic-San Antonio

[saradio1]

From the San Antonio Express News-

Rejoice, San Antonio lovers of nostalgia music! Starting next week, a radio station will finally cater to you again.

KAHL-AM (1310 on the dial) will drop the talk show format that revived the careers of former WOAI and KTSA voices, such as Eliza Sonneland and Carl Wiglesworth.

Radio vet and KAHL general manager John Barger explained that San Antonio's radio talk scene was getting too crowded and there's a definite audience for the nostalgia sound, which is hard to find on the local dial.

I know this one is off the topic post, but I just wish the Ticket 760 could get a boost of power on nighttime. Its very bad driving at night trying to find a decent sports talk radio or game!

"San Antonio's radio talk scene was getting too crowded"

Who was the last entry into the talk format in SA? That would be KAHL, about 2 years ago. There have been no additions to the talk format since then. If anything, didn't KENS flip from news/talk to Radio Disney after KAHL flipped? Barger's explanation is a red herring. The talk scene is no more crowded now than it was when KAHL flipped to talk.

This news of the KAHL flip couldn't come at a worse time for me. I had just discovered last week that KAHL was carrying Dr. Laura. Ever since KENS flipped, I had been missing the schadenfreude I would get from Dr Laura and her generous ladling of verbal abuse heaped upon unususpecting callers.

At least the local funeral homes and the national advertisers of prescription drugs will have a place they can count on to deliver the 70+ demo now.

At least Carl is trying to feed his family instead of being a drunken easter bunny.

I hope John Barger is sitting on the side of 35 selling chalupas. What a blowhard. The only thing he's good at is taking over tiny signals and putting repeaters up everywhere. As a GM, he contantly interfered with programming Barger consistantly screwed up stations. Him and his Buddy Lowry and the car business thief should be ashamed of themselves.

I Know all about his HUGE TEXAS SIZE EGO and lack of programming and management savvy.

KENS-AM 1160 fliped to Radio Disney allmost four years ago.

this station sorta remindes me of KLUP before they flipped to one-sided political talk (yuck!). The station should add some jingles that are authentic-retro sounding like this aricheck I heard of KAAM in Plano from 1999.
