Although not a big fan of jammin oldies, but when the last time I went down to San Antonio last winter, I got a chance to listen to them and loved it that I put the station on my presets. It is a great station to listen to music wise. I wish we'd have a station like that up here in Dallas rather than shoving AC, and hip-hop/reggaton music down our throats.<P ID="signature">______________

I think it is FANTASTIC! I really hope some of the other Hispanic-owned companies will follow BMP's success with this station and do the same thing, especially here in Houston, where there is just WAY TOO MUCH Regional Mexican.
The only thing that worries me is staying power. When Jammin' Oldies arrived on the scene a few years back, everyone got into it (kind of like "Jack" now) and you heard the same tired disco and ol' school over and over. You can only hear "Le Freak" and "Staying Alive" so many times, before you go crazy. So, I hope they keep a nice variety of music, to where listeners won't get burnt out easy. If it is done right, it will be successful for a long time.

The original jammin' oldies concept was for a 25/44 Hispanic, second and third generation, femal appeal. That is exactly what KTFM is doing. There is a huge market for this in San Antonio, where 75% of Hisapnics are not Spanish dominant. Dallas is the opposite, and I doubt the format would work there.

This format only works where the Hispanic community is, in its vast majority, in its second and third generation or beyond. Houston does not qualify.

Where there is a true core audience, like SA, it will not burn. These are the real hits for that group.
This is also the first correct execution of the concept ever. LA researched and determined the concept, but management forced it to be too "white" and it had no passion with anyone.

JO has already been tried in Houston, and it fizzled on 98.5/103.3.

This sounds like what happened to the format in Houston a few years ago. The version on 98.5/103.3 never struck me as being particularly Hispanic oriented.

David, as usual, you and I disagree. This format CAN work in Houston. This format not only works for Hispanics, but Whites (which I am), African-Americans, and Asian-Americans also love this format.

I agree with you here.
Jammin Oldies on KTJM/KJOJ failed for two reasons, the signals at 98.5 & 103.3 are rimshot signals, and both stations never get great ratings in the Houston market. The format was very well received when it first came out. However, Clear Channel did what I said in my prior post, they would play the same songs over and over and they didn't try to expand their playlist any. They did not cater to Hispanics. They also did not want to hurt sister station KMJQ at the time. The second reason is when Liberman acquired these stations, they had NO interest in maintaining the format. They wanted the Regional Mexican format.
This format will work in Houston, if executed properly on a decent signal.<P ID="signature">______________
