KFRC vs. KRTH ?

A

airpab

An informal survey!

Give KRTH (kearth101.com) a listen for at least a half hour. Then, chime in (and be brutally honest) on which station you'd listen to for an extended period and why? (music, jocks, presentation, overall sound)??

When enough people have given their opinions, I will forward this to the suits at CBS/San Francisco!

I know, probably won't do much, but fun and worth a try for us radio folk !
 
I've said this before on other threads, so at the risk of being boring:

I spent multiple hours listening to K-Earth during my vacation to LA this past summer. I think the re-tooled KRTH is much superior to the new KFRC. This is the exact opposite of my visits to LA in the past, in which I thought Oldies 99.7/KFRC was superior to the Mike Phillips "All Repetition All the Time" KRTH Oldies format.

I don't know how many songs there are on the new K-Earth's playlist, but what I've heard sounds great, and the variety is more than decent. For some reason, I heard "Mr. Tambourine Man" 3 or 4 times, but otherwise, I didn't notice much repetition over the 8 or so days I listened for probably about an hour per day in the car.

The jocks are smooth, and enjoyable - I know they're reading liners a lot of the time, but the pacing of the station keeps in lively - not mind-numbingly repetitive, like all those "Light Rock, Less Talk" liners on KOIT. Gary Bryan was on vacation at the time, but Shotgun Tom Kelly was great - somewhat in the Real Don Steele tradition.

If I lived in LA, I would spend much more time listening to KRTH, than I do now in the Bay Area listening to KFRC.

According to AllAccess.com, they mentioned that it sounds like KFRC is now playing more 60's and less 80's songs.

Was it recently? This past weekend KFRC did four days of "super 60s weekend," with a heavy 60s music laded log. So not sure if that's a continuous thing.
