KVIL!

I don't see KVIL playing a lot of those songs. KVIL sounds like a great AC, I just think Houston isn't really a AC frendly market.
Also KVIL just played Hall & Oates - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling which is what early 80s

How about "The New Sunny Fresh Lite Mix 103.7"
It's a shame ♫ what's happened to radio... ♫
but they can't afford ♫ to do it anymore... ♫

KVIL should rebrand themselves as "103.7 Fresh FM" while keeping the soft AC playlist like KEZK in St. Louis. Or maybe this would be a very good idea, they should go back to just being "103.7 KVIL" like they had always been.
They have been doing all-Christmas starting mid-November through the 2nd day after Christmas.LibertyNT said:I could Have Told You That.charles123 said:

Lite Rock from artists like John Mayer, Marc Anthony etc. KAAM (770AM) is playing Streisand, Neil Diamond etc.

Yes, I think some folks are missing out on the sarcasm. This will be the 11th year of all Christmas music.
My hometown station (lite FM in Chicago) flipped at 5 pm yesterday. Wish KVIL would do the same.
Right now, KVIL has all Christmas music on the HD2 channel and 7p-mid with Delilah. The full-time changeover date remains a mystery.
Not a mystery at all, KVIL is flipping to full-time Christmas this coming Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Btw, they have been flipping to full-time Christmas in the middle of November every year over the past few years.

You might check your all access source post. It's dated December 3, 2010 (and the link is dated 2010).

They don't when they'll flip, but it will be this month.
KVIL was a once-in-a-market-lifetime collection of talent that we'll never hear the likes of again. Ron Chapman, Steve Eberhardt (hope I spelled it right), Ben Laurie, Mark Watkins, and the rest of the gang were the absolute gold standard of local adult contemporary radio. They weren't trend-setters by any sense, but they were what radio was supposed to be - listenable.
KVIL belongs to a bygone era. Terrestrial radio is dead, it just doesn't know it yet. And talent-driven dayparts are most definitely a thing of the past. iPods, iPhones, internet radio, satellite radio, all have conspired to do what video couldn't - kill the radio star (with apologies to The Buggles).
There was a song back in the '80s by Charlie Dore, "Pilot of the Airwaves," that sums up how radio used to operate - reaching out to its listeners, many of whom felt a kinship with the DJ on the other end of the wave (I used to have a couple of fangirls when I was a DJ, lo those many years ago).

Here is my request
You don't have to play it
But I hope you'll do your best
I've been listening to your show
On the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
Nowadays, not so much. Radio is just another knob on the dashboard, and who even has a full-up stereo system in their home these days? (Besides us dinosaurs, of course. ;D) It's all pods or droids (sounds like a Sci-Fi movie) and earbuds. And personalized music selections, something radio never could really do because of the variety of tastes. But KVIL usually came the closest to getting it right, at least according to its ratings. Never again.

How long have iPods and satellite radio been out? This argument started back then, yet radio still hangs on. ;D

How do you call a station with a 2.4 12+ a loser?
Yeah, it was wrong. Outdated source. Thanks for letting me know!The_X_Man_Cometh said:
