KONO - Is Cox tweaking all their SA stations?

S

sdh483

I've been streaming one of my favorite stations and notice a few changes to the station: More dancy R&B and now a growing list of early 80s tunes. Doesn't really seem to bother me though because remember stations that played music from the 60s-80s and the blend wasn't very drastic, even segueing through classic rock, folk rock, R&B, disco and pop music. I just hope they don't abandon the 60s completely as evident by songs from The Beatles and Rolling Stones.

They are spinning at San Antonio's KAHL 1310 and now FM service in the city on 103.7 FM.

KAHL "The little station that could."

You do realize that 50s music died on San Antonio radio on 1/1/1992 with the demise of KISS 930 AM Adams Broadcasting-KOOL Gold "KOOL 930"

Of course there was KGNB in New Braunfels that spun 40s, 50s, and 60's music til around 1994?
 
Every time KONO plays one of those overplayed The Point songs such as Journey's "Any Way You Want It" I scan up and down the FM dial from 99.5 to 107.5 than switch my radio to AM to try to pull in KVNS AM 1700 from Brownsville which is owned by Clear Channel.

If KTKR's numbers keep slipping maybe a Oldies station will debut on KTKR 760?

Or they might move KTKR to 810 from 760 keep the ticket and end the LMA with Marantha due to Air 1 picking at their numbers.

760 has a great signal. It would be a great lineup. Let's say they call it KOSA 760, KSAH 720 Norteno KOSA 760 Classic Hits KTKR 810 Sports, KONO 860 Classic Hits.

I hope Clear Channel is reading this thread.
 
The KOSA calls belong to a TV station in Odessa, TX. Oddly-- "kosa" sounds like the Spanish word "cosa" which means "thing."

The primary audience for that music got older than 54. At that point the audience gets too hard to sell. People older than 54 have their brand loyalties set and can't be convinced to get their brakes done at Meineke when they've been getting that kind of work done at Joe's Garage for 25 years.

...Unless you have a Paul Harvey personality in your stable. I'm pretty sure he moved his share of Bose radios and other products in his lifetime.

Yeah - I'd love to have an oldies station on the 760 signal. It comes in great in Houston! 860 is clobbered by that Spanish language garbage on 850 - BLEAH! If there were ever a station that should be limited to 5 kHz audio response, that would be it!
