KHHT sounds like a train wreck

If I hear another 70's hit. I'll lose my mind.

Are you a 30-49 second geneeration or beyond Hispanic female? That is the obvious target of the station, followed by Black females in the same demo and then males of the same two ethnicities.

You also have to remeber. They were Urban AC in 2001 but it didnt work. This current incarnation of KHHT is serving its purpose and thats going after hispanic women first. This topic was already brought up and CC is happy with whats going on.

First of all I'm not in the 25-54 range, I'm in the 16-34 crowd I'm 17 years old. KDAY is so much better than Hot 92.3.

You don't get it. What David is saying is that YOU ARE NOT IN THE TARGET DEMO for KHHT. Of course you're not going to like it. At your age stations like KDAY, KIIS and KPWR would be more to your demo's liking. For their target audience, KHHT sounds just fine.

Quick correction: KHHT was never Urban AC. It played rhythmic crossovers, not the tunes that charted only Urban AC. They called it Rhythmic AC and had the same target they have now.

The radio stations I do listen to are: 102.3 KJLH(Adult leaning Urban),Power 106(Urban leaning Rhythmic) KDAY(Gold leaning Urban Contemporary).

Nevertheless, calguy is correct - you are not the audience KHHT is seeking. Move along now... these aren't the droids you're looking for.

Yes bro I understand how you feel about radio here but its Los Angeles 2011 not Los Angeles 2001. Times have chaged and the demo is hispanics listen to radio more so companies have to appeal to them first. KHHT is for adults so its music is not gonna appeal to you. In my opinion its not in my demo but what can you do. Find another resource for music radio in Los Angeles is dead

@WDB2003 don't me wrong I do love Adult R&B. I still listen to Radio Free 102.3 KJLH because it's more Urban and they play more 90's and currents. I listen to KDAY more than any radio station in L.A.

Yeah, if it weren't for those 70's soul hits, or even 60's motown, the music scene today would be a different universe all-together. Always credit the source.

BJordan, I have noticed that you post a lot of nostalgia about the way radio used to be and you are only 17? Don't get me wrong, I think you are spot on with your observations most of the time so keep 'em coming. I am just wondering how in the heck do you know so much about radio back in the day at such a young age?

I listen to alot of classic Hip Hop/urban music such as WC, Khia,Jaheim, Jon B., Foxy Brown, K-Ci & Jo Jo, Ja Rule,Faith Evans, Dru Hill, the good stuff. I just want to jump into a time machine back to the 90's lol

There's nothing wrong with that. When I get tired of my iheartradio app or my ipod ill listen to KJLH driving to work but you also have to remeber KHHT/KCMG has always attracted adults since day one. I use to be like you but life goes on. Radio in this market is not all that great anymore. Detorit, Atlanta, Dallas, San Franscio and New York have better choices for Urban music. I would say St. Louis but they lost their Beat 2 years ago. When you get older youll understand the market and the demos. It sucks

In February 1996 15 years ago we had good urban radio. There was 92.3 The Beat the best Mainstream Urban in L.A. KJLH was bearly making it in the ratings. Everybody and they momma had a 92.3 The Beat sticker on their bumpers. Power 106 became a KKBT clone. In February 2011 we only have KJLH, they're the only urban playing currents due to KDAY's flip to gold hip hop & R&B .

 

[wdb2003]

Yeah we had a Beat sticker too on our 97 Camery go figure

I used to have a 92.3 The Beat t-shirt!

 

[wdb2003]

Someone send me a 92.3 The Beat t-shirt. Just kidding ;D

 

[wdb2003]

You'll be surprised. You might find one at the thrift stores around Los Angeles. We went to donate a few things and saw a KIIS FM tshirt in the racks. Ebay right now has a sticker of the old 92.3 The Beat now. Also a Power 106 10th anniversity cd.
