KYOT - New Format A Bummer!

I do wonder how far they can go towards crossing that fine line between playing freestyle and booty bass. If they play Debbie Deb "when I hear music" and Black Eyed Peas "Boom boom pow", then what's stopping them from adding "My boo" by Ghost town Dj's, or even 69 Boyz "tootsie roll", especially amongst the other type of stuff they're playing?

For whatever it's worth...as part of their "IndepenDANCE Weekend", they played Tag Team's "Whoomp! There It Is" earlier today. After it was over, the jock said something along the lines of "We will return to normal programming on Tuesday morning...now, back to more abnormal programming".
 
I was a bit shocked today when hitting the KYOT pre-set by accident and hearing "Play That Funky Music White Boy".

Is this the ghost of KUKQ?
 
Really enjoying KYOT's "IndepenDANCE Weekend"! Heard earlier: "Rhythm Is A Dancer" by Snap, "What Is Love" by Haddaway, "Hot In Herre" by Nelly, "Rhythm of The Night" by Corona, "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa and "Finally" by CeCe Peniston. Been hearing a mixture of 70's, 80's and 90's Classic Dance music!
 
Been listening a little this weekend and the music mix seems ok to me but the presentation is still to old coyote for me. I think they may have been better off re-branding the station completely as well as adding more upbeat jocks and imaging. Just sounds off to me.
 
Yeah the imaging is off I was listening this morning while leaving work. Sunday moring they are still airing Quiet Music from the former Smooth Jazz format. They finally updated the logo on the iheartradio app too. Im surprised they didnt just relaunch the whole station. Go jockless, commerical free and new promos. Maybe some jingles might help.
 
I haven't listened to KYOT much since their flip to....uh.....just what is it now anyway?

Sounds from comments here the coyote flipped to an undefined format. Ticket to failure. Nice going suits! NOT! :mad:

The only problem with Quiet Music is that the engineers on duty at the KYOT on Sunday do not know how to select the correct program. For the last two weeks, they have replayed the show that was produced for June 19th (Fathers Day). And while I enjoy listening to the Pat Metheny Group's "San Lorenzo", hearing the host (Nick Francis) wish everyone a "Happy Fathers Day" three weeks in a row gets old.

It is also sad that Nick Francis, Troy Duran and others spend hours producing this show for KYOT because the listeners asked for it when the original syndication was terminated. Nick worked out an arrangement with KYOT to continue to produce this 3 hour show which has a unique mix of music for a quiet Sunday morning. Despite their efforts, the engineering crew just seems to not care and more often then not, repeats a previous show (yes, I know one week there was a problem downloading the program to KYOT...but that is not the norm.).
 
They just need to start from scratch. Go jockless and commerical free and let the station music grow. No Art Laboe hes fine on KAJM. Basically if they look at stations like KHYL in Sacramento and KISQ in San Fransico and do music research they might have a chance of having a good station. I guess with co owned AC KEZ format the Smooth AC format would overlap with the station.

Perhaps the show's actually been discontinued, but the station has nothing else to put into that time slot (yet, I'd hope), so they just keep running that last show until...whenever...
I could be wrong, but...your guess is as good as mine.

There are new shows produced each week. Nick has a website, http://www.quietmusic.com/ where he posts the play list for each weeks show. This is just a matter of either the engineer on duty does not know how or does not care to validate that the proper show is in the system and ready to go.

Though with the change of format, no one seems to know how much longer this show will continue.

I'd rather continue to hear some of this (and more like it) than the snoozefest that returned to KYOT today. :mad:
 
What is everyone's opinion of KYOT now?

I have a feeling they are still "testing the waters" and they haven't done anything to significantly update their station logo.

What do you think?
 
Sometimes they sound good & sometimes NOT!!!! BEEGEES are definetely NOT!!! I don't know who they are trying to target. Some songs are ok, but they need to decide where they are going and stick with it. If they want old school, take 104.3 format and go deeper & deeper LOL!! ???
 
Yeah, their playlist is all over the place.

BTW, I checked the playlist and...Fedde le Grand's "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit" at 11:43 PM???

I'm assuming that was a commercial or something and the song wasn't actually played in its entirety (?)
 
why does radio have to be so pigeon holed into a specefic format or only play certain songs. If you remember, radio used to play a huge variety of music and still attract the audience. If I do(I rarely do) tune into FM radio, I would like to hear more variety than what I currently hear. Plus the same people who are saying wow they are all over the place will be the same people complaining that they are rotating the songs too frequently if they shortern their playlist. I guess the old notion, sometimes you can never win is true with radio.
