KKFN's Battle With "Radio Schizophrenia"

Hi everyone:

It it just me or has anyone else here noticed KKFN's battle with "Radio Schizophrenia" ever since they left the AM band for 104.3 by trying to stuff local programming, FOX Sports Radio & (Albeit limited) ESPN Radio (With the latter having the better sports content) all into one basket?

I mean wouldn't it just make better sense to move FOX Sports Radio to AM 1600 (Thus returning the KKFN call letters back to AM) & move KEPN with ESPN Radio to 104.3 instead? That would make AM 1600 the main place to talk sports (Both locally & nationally), although there could also be local sports talk & Nuggets games on a secondary basis to KCKK-AM 1510 just as they did last year.

As for NFL broadcasts on Westwood One, that could stay on 104.3 since it would only interrupt ESPN programming on Sundays. Either that or the NFL broadcasts on Westwood One could be temporarily moved to AM 1600 while the baseball season winds down.

Am I just being Nit-Picky here or does any of this make any sense?

Thoughts?

Cheers :)
 
Hi,

I actually suggested that a while ago, when they started making all of these changes. Personally I agree, they should move ESPN to the FM full time. What I would do is have Mike & Mike as your morning show "LIVE" followed by local for say 4 hours then network from like noon until 3 then local afternoon drive from 3 to 6, allowing for avs,nugs, or other local games, then network overnight until you start over again the next morning. PLUS "LIVE BOARD OPS" for the overnight hours. Nothing is more annoying and pisses me off more than going to bed ready to listen to all night sports talk when the station's computer burps loses the satellite feed and then you're left with dead air all night until next morning when the morning crew comes in and puts the station back in live assist mode.

That happens a lot with KCKK. It happened a couple of Fridays ago, just after 9:00 p.m. I was just getting ready to go to bed, turned on 1510 everything was on, then all at once computer burps, signal gone, dead air til Saturday AM. Pay me $7 an hour I'll babysit.
