KLUV

[BBontheRadio]

We just bought brand new jingles for a 'flip'?

Count on it! The RadioDiscussions.com experts say it's so!!!

 

[Parttimer]

Do the math.... Songs from the 80's are 24 - 33 years old. That's right in the target area for listeners 35- 54.

My wife's yelling at me again about KLUV, "OH Please don't encourage Zippo's zaneeness... Zippo is plenty zaney enough with you."

I was just applauding the Zip dude when he said "Zip on over."

That's cool. Ain't noting wrong with that.

Wouldn't be the first time that happened. But KLUV sounds great right now so I hope the rumors aren't true.

 

[Gopher]

Flipping to??????????

 

[Mac Daddy]

I know this has nothing to do with the topic, but speaking of KLUV; Who is currently doing nights from 7-midnight? I've heard them occasionally during the hour, but never caught a name.

 

[Robert Bass]

I think it's VT'd by Zippo during those hours.

somebody has put a blind box ad for an air personality for "Dallas Oldies* Station"-- they don't mention the station but kluv is the only oldies station in town, right? *(even though they might not use that term oldies anymore)... anybody have insight on this?

I wonder if that's a pre KKDA-AM format flip opening, since they were listed as Oldies in Arbitron before they were sold.

don't think so, the new owner skr partners are Korean, and the format is asian now, don't think that will change...

Well what I was suggesting was, perhaps the BBA position opening listing in question was placed "before" KKDA-AM was sold. Or did it just appear this week? Is there a “date posted” shown?

What happens at least some of the time with those blind box ads is a station a considerable distance from town but still within driving distance, like Sherman/Denison, will list itself as part of the larger market. About 10 years ago, I applied for one of those ads about a St. Louis station and found out it was actually a station in rural Illinois almost 80 miles from St. Louis that didn't put a listenable signal into even one St. Louis metro county.

Don't get me wrong. I can't say this is happening for sure, and I have no idea who it might be. I'm just saying a "Dallas oldies" station doesn't automatically mean it's KLUV.

 

[cspotrun]

kent, yes i've seen this happen also, so i fully expect that is going to be the case... they would probably get alot more resumes saying dallas than tyler or waco... other than that the only openings i see in dallas are for kvil-fm which is lite-rock...

 

[bucwhyl]

What about 94.5? They are urban oldies.

 

[LibertyNT]

Don't forget KGVL 1400. Or KAAM 770 (Would they even?)

 

[johnsummers]

It's not K*LUV. I suspect KAAM, but don't really know for sure. We'd never use the 'O' word in an ad. ;D

 

[Sgt. Hans G. Schultz]

It's not K*LUV. I suspect KAAM, but don't really know for sure. We'd never use the 'O' word in an ad. ;D

============================================================

Thank you John!
I told you guys KLUV has "flipped".
They are not "O"ldies anymore as per Mr. Summers!

============================================================

 

[johnsummers]

We stopped using the 'O' word almost 8 years ago...

 

[Gary Mack]

We stopped using the 'O' word almost 8 years ago...

Yeah, those were the good, er, uh, days....

Does that mean I can say "All Oldies, All the Time" now without dispute?

I seem to recall the origin and first use of this slogan in DFW was an issue between K-Oldie, KLDD(AM), and K*LUV-FM back in the late '80's.

To the best of my recollection, KLDD used this phrase first and K*LUV followed.

Incidentally, I really miss hearing the 59th Street Bridge Song on KLUV.
