La Preciosa se va

[Kent]

R & R is reporting KEGL will dump La Preciosa at midnight. It will apparently go all Christmas and pick up a new format after the holidays. JD Freeman is not commenting on the format other than to say that it will not be a Spanish-language format.

 

[jeffdfw]

I just read that. Very interesting. I thought Lonestar would have flipped before La P.

 

[VERITAS DE VOCE]

Maybe it's back to the Good Ol' days and we will have an AOR after all in Dallas? However, if it's another CHR, I will climb that tower like King Kong and get planes to shoot it down.

 

[Kent]

I wouldn't expect 97.1 to go back to CHR with KHKS being co-owned.

http://www.kegl.com/main.html I smell a Adult Alt. format after Santa goes SOUTH for the winter. LOL!

 

[jeffdfw]

Ya think? Radio 104.5 is not that different from Mix 102.9 and the Edge (both CC). Just please don't let it be Sunny 97.1 again! :

There is a Baby Jesus and I thank him for taking down La Preciosa, whatever he brings back will be better than that garbage they have now...

Why do you say that it (La Precisos) is garbage? You may not like it, but other people did. Not every station is going to be tailored and targeted for your personal taste.

That actually links to a stream out of San Jose. I don't think there has ever been a live local Preciosa feed for Dallas, since it is 100% networked with KPRC-FM in Salinas. So anyone looking for the changeover would probably be wise to see if there is some kind of new site coming online.

 

[radi0chik]

if anyone's interested I'll stream it's off-air signal tonight. email me and I'll send you the info.

 

[Robert Bass]

Actually, I know what format will go on 97.1, cuz I bought the station! ;D

BASS-FM.... PLAYING WHAT I WANT!!!!!!!!

OK OK, not really.....

My guess is it'll be an oldies format. Hello, KLUV......?

Of course I'm sure the CONsultants will tell me "NO WAY"....

Hey, im in agreement with ya that you cant program for everybody..oh wait..we have sat. radio for that dave I know you're a cheerleader for these formats and thats cool, just feel like they've hijacked decent stations on commercial radio because its easier to turn a profit...

 

[AlanB]

Agradezca a dios por formatos que cambian de KEGL (Babelfish translation of "Thank God for KEGL changing formats").

Speculation: does CC own any Smooth Jazz or AAA, or even all-news (my personal pet-format)?

No, that would be smart. I agree it will likely be oldies, Sunny, or rock.

 

[jeffdfw]

I believe the CC smooth jazz stations in San Fran and Chicago are doing well. I know they own more but I am not familiar with the others. I wonder if BA's Smooth Jazz Network might be a possibility? Go ahead and bash me for liking smooth jazz BUT... I refrained from bringing it up first. ;D

Actually, it is not easier to turn a profit, as Clear found out. That is why they are bailing on Preciosa.

 

[OKCRadioGuy]

Automated Sat. feed crap is still automated sat. crap regardless of what language it is in. Too bad the black-hearts at CC can't figure out it's the lack of useful HUMANS that cause lack of success.

BTW... How do you say Crap Channel in Spanish David E.?

...and we are all thankful for this turn of events Im also in agreement for OKRG, too many stations have taken the voice-tracking/sat feed way out and look where its brought them.
