KMCQ Streaming Volume Levels
- Thread starter toonces2u

Maybe what KMCQ should do is combine the stream and station audio together. The last time I listened to KMCQ online, there weren't any high frequencies, although it sounded better than KXXO, that stream really has issues. When listening through speakers that have little base as it is, it sounds like it's coming through a tunnel. You can tell there isn't any base in KMCQ's stream, but it's not quite up that high.
toonces2u I thought that was odd too, I called and yes someone answered the phone.
Was told it was a request and came off of the "Living In The Material World" CD bonus track. I looked it up and it was on a remastered 2006 issue.
Sounds like the board op did a no no.
we have all been there. ;D

we have all been there. ;DI don't know...I actually kinda like it at times when they throw in some newer songs from artists that were in their prime from back in the 60s & 70s. As long as they don't play Madonna! KZOK has done it in the past with their "Then and now" segments (or whatever it was called). One time they ended up playing Styx's "Fooling Yourself" as the "Then" song, then followed it up with "Everything Is Cool" as the "Now" song (which was off of their 1999 album, "Brave New World".)

There are enough stations that do that. If you enjoy it, listen to KZOK. Why can't we have one station in Seattle that sticks truly to 60s and 70s only? KMCQ has few commercials and no on air personalities right now so it leaves a little bit a room to throw in an 80s record occasionally. They also have a deep catalog playlist which is awesome. However, in my opinion, there are SO many great records from the 60s and 70s to play. Why not just leave the 80s decade and on to the other stations? I guarantee you that the majority of the KMCQ audience is not tuning in to hear a Huey Lewis & The News or Phil Collins record. It just seems to be a slippery slope when you allow an 80s record here and there right now, then you expand to a couple an hour, then three etc. Like I said, there are too many great records from the 60s and 70s that there is no need to play records beyond 1979. In fact, that should be the cut off year for KMCQ period. The same goes for Ted Alexander and his throwing in an 80s record here and there "just for spice". We don't need to hear Laura Brannigan Ted. Stick to the 60s and 70s for the 10,000 Oldies Show.
It's all about the advertizers, I think 60s and 70s are getting out of the desired target demo. However, I think what they don't realize is that then younger folks like myself won't know these songs in 20 or 30 years, and unless I have a CD or iPod and play it for my kids, they probably won't know them either. My favorite oldies stations would have to be those of CBS, which play the stuff that KBSG used to play a little more than KJR-FM does, but not diving into the obscure songs like KMCQ does.
