Does anyone know anything about KYEE 94 Key in Alamagordo, NM? It's one of those small stations that is never discussed on these boards. Who are the DJ's? What is the music like? Are they planning on streaming? I'm very curious to know as all it has is a website with just their logo on it.

No one knows anything about this station? I want some details! 94 other views and nothing? What's this world of radio coming to? Damn you big market stations!
They have a website that would answer most of your questions -- IF you could actually click on anything! Looks like it's probably some kind of top 40 or Hot AC, just guessing. Maybe they let whoever happens to be in the building at any given time play whatever they want, like a lot of small town stations do.

Sean, if you know of small market stations left like that that have live jocks (or at least a music guy in the building) let me know, I'm always looking for small market music stations with more diverse playlists. Fun listening.
Sure thing, but maybe I should make a correction. I don't believe there are any "live" stations anymore - but there are live hours, such as a morning show or something. A lot of these shows in small towns play their own broadly-defined version of whatever format they claim.
In high school, I worked a weekend night show on a satellite-formatted mainstream AC. But when I was on, the "format" included titles from Weezer, Boyz to Men, White Zombie, Dr.Dre, and Mariah Carey - completely nuts. I was never disciplined for it, but I did get some feedback from the boss years later when I returned to work there. He said to me: "Oh I remember, you're the kid that used to play all that music we weren't supposed to be playing!"
Some stations are voice-tracked or all hard-drive. In these places, I think it's the All-in-one Program Director-slash-Production Director-slash-Account Executive-slash-Engineer-slash-Janitor Guy who gets to pick the tunes.
I do clearly remember a live station in a neighboring town that block-formatted their music: 1/3 Rock, 1/3 Oldies, 1/3 Country. But with new owners, even they bottom-lined, going satellite country.
I'll see about posting a playlist of some of the stations in my area, where you never have to listen long to hear a first-class trainwreck! There is diversity, but not always well-executed, in my opinion.

As requested, "Playlist Diversity" from Clovis, NM (pop. 33,000). This is 7 am - 9 am, monitoring 3 different stations as best as one person can monitor 3 stations at once.
99.9 KTQM:
Armageddon It - Def Leppard
Boom Boom Boom - Outthere Bros.
Biddy Biddy Boom Boom - Selena
some alterna-rockin' song they failed to announce...Fall Out Boy maybe?
Disappear - INXS
Orange Crush - REM
Roam - B52's
When It's Love - Van Halen
1,2,3,4 - Feist
Notes: This is 99.9 KTQM's local morning show, they are ABC/SMN "Today's Best Hits" after 9 am. This station is also kind enough to let me, your humble reporter, do some extremely part-time work so I can get in my weekly radio fix and feel important.
98.3 KICA - FM "Channel 98-3" "Tallgrass Broadcasting":
Hey, Hey What Can I Do - Led Zeppelin
High Enough - Damn Yankees
Bungle in the Jungle - Jethro Tull
When Love Comes to Town - U2
some Roth-era Van Halen, a deeper cut, that they failed to announce - probably because they have no DJ's
some Ozzy song, with Zakk Wylde on guitar (I can tell by the harmonic squeals) that they failed to announce - probably because they have no DJ's
Freeze Frame - J. Geils Band
Boys of Summer - Don Henley
Money - Pink Floyd
some ELO song -- only ELO sounds like that -- that they failed to announce, probably because they have no DJ's
Somebody to Love - Jefferson Airplane
Young, Wild, and Free by...I don't know -- and I'll never know -- because this station has no...well, you get the idea.
Best of You - Foo Fighters
Train, Train - Is it...Blackfoot?
Notes: 98.3 KICA is our local "rock" station. In the not too distant past, I've heard them play Metallica's "Enter Sandman", immediately followed by Hall and Oats "Kiss on My List" - no liner or anything in between. Seems like they have improved the flow since those days. This station also played the most music this morning. Having no commercials or DJ's will do that for you, I guess.
107.5 KSMX "The Mix"
Give it to Me - Timbaland/Nelly
Some extreme wuss music called "Want You Back For Good" maybe? Is this song really a hit? Horrible!
New song from the Train singer
Notes: This station, sadly, is probably the best-programmed in Clovis. I only heard these three songs as they were busy doing their "Morning Show", talking or playing commercials most of the time. They OD on the 80's in the midday, then unexpectedly, OD on rap music at night with a show called "Hip Hop Hizzy." I always thought I liked Hip-Hop -- until I heard this show. 5 straight hours of Ludacriss to make you want to drive into a tree.
I don't much like Country, so I didn't listen to any of the 4 country stations here. As You can see, music radio still sucks, even in small towns.
Now, I will go back to listening to talk. Thank you NewsTalk 710 KGNC Amarillo! AM Rules!

I once visited that station, back in the early 80's when they were known as KKEE and they were AC. I noticed when monitoring the station they sounded good for the market that size. When i walked in there....I saw the office and the control board with some young girl at the time doing cart production. That's when I learned for the first time what a satellite radio station was.
