KMAD-FM Completes Move to Sherman
SHERMAN - KMAD-FM 102.5 has completed its move from Madill, OK to Whitesboro, TX and has launched a new Classic Rock format serving the Denison/Sherman radio market as "Mad Rock 102-5." The station, owned by NextMedia, had previously been Classic Country in a simulcast with sister KMAD 1550. The addition of 102.5 to the Denison/Sherman radio dial will likely be met with much approval as most of the market's larger signals have moved south to serve Dallas/Fort Worth over the last decade.

I have heard it late at night and they sound a lot better than KZPS. The signal does a battle though with the classic rocker "The Bear" located in WACO. BTW anyone Notice how KXEZ 92.1 has improved? They dumped the Jones oldies network and AP news and now feature another Oldies network (I am guessing is ABC) and they feature ABC news at the top of the hour. They have a local announcer named Natalie in the morning,who alternates with Hal Mayfield who in turns sounds a lot better than he has. Must be a better brand of coffee.

That's an affiliate of ABC Radio's "Classic Rock Experience," a format that's been praised on here many times. A lot of the former Q-102, KZEW and Z-Rock jocks and programmers are at the helm, so it's about the closest thing you'll find to the Q-102 of yesteryear, with many of the same voices. Chaz Mixon, Frank Welch, Scott Manning (KLUV,) Dave Bolt (Z-Rock,) Debbie Douglas/Alcocer (KZPS,) Bob Eliot, etc.

It's really not a bad station. They do (or did during the summer) play Freebird too often and several other songs if you listen long enough you'll pick it up. The most distraction thing to me is the production of the local spots. Not too good.

At my house in Carrollton using a tshaped antenna I can pull in a listenable signal. When I would go riding my bike in the evening during the spring and summer I would pull it in occasionaly on my little Sony walkman using just the head phones.<P ID="signature">______________
