Not sure how much financial trouble BMP really is in since they have new commercials running for KTFM and Jack.
Both of which have new websites-
ktfm.com & hellojack.com

Didn't know those guys had a site till right now when you mentioned it. When did this happen?
I suspect it's part of the shining-up process by the receiver to get the group ready to sell. KTSA has a new site, too.saradio1 said:Not sure how much financial trouble BMP really is in since they have new commercials running for KTFM and Jack.

SHEESH...
EASY TO BEAT THEM...WITH NO BUDGET.
LOL
Easy to beat them? That's pretty arrogant being how Z was owned by Mix. The music on Mix is not for my taste either but even I know they sound very good if you like that kind of music. You can't blame Mix alone for having syndication, it is a Clear Channel thing.

Granted Mix owned Z106.7. But no disrespect DominiqueRadio but we all know 106.7 is Cox's play toy. Every two years a new format lands on that frequency.
106.7 Jamz was probably the best format they had. Everything else after that was just lame and watered down.

Last I read was that BMP would be focusing on SA and Austin markets and selling all other stations. Laredo is the next market to be sold followed by the stations in the valley.

I agree friend. Jamz was their best format they had on that channel.
Dom...cmon man...Mix is not a good anything...oh and by the way I love pop music. they are just so darn dry.
They really need a live morning show...
Kidd does well...in the numbers...but my point is, that is based on a market with no real Morning comp in that category.
He wins by default. If I lived in Dallas I would say he was great...he knows Dallas and it sounds like it...even here in
San Antonio...and that is the problem there.
I have not heard a good blend of music, tempo, or category in years...many years. Sorry. There is a lot of great stuff out there not being played and not being played in the right way.
take 2 stations with the same 30 songs on both and one will sound better.
Why? FLOW...and Mix's flow has been all over the place...Hit and Miss...lately MISS. KTFM is so wanting to be Alternative rocker it is sad. They want to be Lilly White and Adult and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ boring.
My guesss is that CJ cruz hates half of the music they play and that half is what should make up the whole format in this market. Kiss never could understand how KTFM had any listeners ever....Because no one liked any of the music they played...but the listeners did!
Everytime KTFM plays GAGA or BEP's the staff over there winces....and that is the problem with them. TOO FUNNY.
Move to Idaho if you can not relate to the masses. Yes KISS Kicked butt in rock genre but guess what KTFM is not in the rock genre....they want too be...but that is not their format.
I wish they would do it go Alternative Rock with some dance and rock product from the last 15 years mixed in and be done with it. 101X flavor. At least they would be original. LOL

Hmmmmm I would have to disagree with some of what you said.
Any live show would be better than a syndicated show in my opinion but I like Kraddick. He does a very good job, a lot of people still don't know he does his show from Dallas so I would say he is doing something right.
I also think Xavier and Biggie would have to disagree with there being no real morning show competition in this city. People love them. I would say they have a loyal fan base.
I don't really know CJ personally so maybe you are right about her hating everything she plays. But let me ask you this, what jock doesn't?
I know I used to but I did it for the love of the job. I am almost positive she is in that same boat. A good friend once told me...
"A good jock can do any format"
While you are certainly entitled to your opinion NoJustice I have an enormous amount of respect for Mix and what they are doing. I think they sound great for their format. It is 1,000,000x better than the pre-Travatto rainbow colored Mix logo days.

nojustice you crack me up. a bunch of random thoughts backed by no examples. for instance i know cj likes the music on ktfm. you may not know anything but its fun to read. LOL
Chick...your right I may not know anything...or I may know way more than you care to admit.
Let me just say that in the Halls at KISS CJ and others often mocked KTFM and the music they played.
If her music taste has since changed that is GREAT!...Welcome to San Antonio.
Random thoughts?
Mix sounds better now than before...but hey the first song the ever played was FASTBALL...that really fits San Antonio.
( well the part over by N Main...lol)
KISS called that GAY ROCK and KTFM thought it did not fit the market (or at least the MD's PD's at that time).
Dom...I did not mean to include XAVIER and the beat as a CHR competitor. I stand corrected...I guess.
I am talking true CHR's. I guess by know most HIP HOP is so watered it is pop...but it sure aint what I am refering to as pop.
What facts do you want Wooly bear?
You want examples of poor music flow...turn on 94 or 96 and try listening for 20 mins...PUKE
I don't subscribe to this modern day syndicated, voicetracked, consulted to death, liner card read crap they put on the air in most markets...SORRY.

When we signed Mix on in ’98, it was designed to be an extension of the ‘Mix’ brand that Austin’s Mix 94.7 had established when their signal use to penetrate parts of the metro. There was a reason we played Fastball, Matchbox 20, et al. It worked, and wasn’t being played anywhere in San Antonio. Call that type of music what you want, but to us it was a glaring opportunity.
Revisionist history aside - Mix has always done well, and is a solid ‘brand’. When I left in ’03, we were Top 5 18-34 and 18-49 with 3 direct CHR competitors. I’d say PPM has shown the current crew is having just as much success, if not more.

Agreed. With Top 40 playing a lot of Hip Hop in its rotation, the two genres have somewhat merged. Pretty sad really.
Krash...If that is really you. No offense meant to you or what you put on the air. I just know for a fact the Gay term was bantied about over at 99.5 KISS in reference to your format. Which makes sense to me since they were all about modern AOR and not much else. The same language was used to anything other than KISS or KZEP except maybe country.
I think at the time KTFM was very worried about Mix being ahead of the curve with the alternative rock lean...and it had good numbers.
All that aside and by the way I still think an even more alternative more rock leaning station would do well...again mostly because it is a hole in the market. Still I do not believe a Matchbox 20 or Fastball is what I would call a heritage artists for San Antonio. Not compared to other CHR/Rhythmic product.

Justice, no offense taken. However there is often a lot of incorrect information that is posted as ‘fact’ on this board. I am proud of what we did at Mix, we had a fantastic staff, and despite the constant challenges thrown our way, we performed with both ratings and revenue.
Hey...Krash...forgive my not knowing...but where are you now? I had good friends on the air in Austin but all that VT'ng killed a lot of good gigs off.
Thanks...Krash for being passionate about radio. I can relate and appreciate.
I think something like a 101X or WHFS would have solid niche audience here.
I also think a rock station that is geared just for women would be amazing.
