KNX onto … 97.1??

[KilowattKat]

Nothing at the FM side that the music on 97.1 is going to completely stop in less than an hour. Nothing like throwing your last batch of loyal listeners under the bus with a total shock to the system.

At least to the few that are even still listening Lol. They will just over to KIIS or Power without a second thought.

Yeah, the 1,179,000 cume listeners last month is certainly "few".

 

[michael hagerty]

wow nothing special to say goodbye

Given the push on social and traditional media (the L.A. Times already has a story), there are likely to be more KNX listeners at 2:59 than NOW listeners, anyway.

I posted this one the NYC board as a theory as to what might happen in New York.

Wow, I take that back, it's not a few. I'm curious how that cume compares to the cume of KIIS and Power.

Sorry meant to reply to David, new at this.

So...does 97.1 get the KNX-FM call letters or do they just bury KNOU in the legal ID?

KNXA looks available if they wanted to move KNX calls to the FM.
KNXF looks available too.

I'm surprised it took them this long to find an FM frequency (unless you count KRTH-HD2). Hopefully they will stay true to their AM roots, but if history serves as a guide (hint hint KYW and WSB), the AM frequency will be dropped from the branding, even though it has a better coverage area.

Yes this is like how KFRC-FM but it's labeled as KCBS Radio due to it's all news format origins on 740AM. At this point it's 106.9 FM that's getting the attention first in station ID branding in San Francisco and 740AM as an afterthought. Parts of this is to remain relevant to the current audience

They wouldn't need a fourth letter. The FCC could re-issue KNX-FM.

KIIS 2,040,000.
Power 1.2 million.

Too bad KKNX is up in Eugene.

Julia, the DJ, just finished her shift without saying farewell to Los Angeles. It's somewhat understandable since she is based in Detroit.

Been streaming KNX for the last 20 minutes or so. It's been a while. Gotta say, it's a way stronger presentation than KCBS.

And of course voicetracked.

I'm listening to the stream in Houston. Very weird to hear Audacy inserting local Houston spots in the KNOU stopsets...🤪

I'm getting Sacramento spots in the KNX stream.

Sloppy transition...

Sweeper with news history of KNX running at 3pm PT. "KNX in a whole new way."

 

[mets18]

The stream is in stereo. I wonder if the FM signal is as well.

When Audacy’s NYC all-newsers migrate to FM, they’re going to do it simultaneously. No way are they going to throw either of the stations not moving to FM under the bus.

I wouldn't be so sure.

At some point in the future all-news will be on analog FM in New York. That seems like a total certainty.

Audacy might not have the luxury of having two underperforming stations they are willing to flip at exactly the same time and there will come a point when being AM-only is going to negatively affect WINS and when that time comes they are not going to hold it back WINS just so they can launch both at the same time.

And it’ll be the death rattle for the AM dial altogether.

Totally agree.
