Laura Ingraham on 1190

Noticed this morning that Laura Ingraham is now on 1190. I guess she's on 6 to 9am. Heard her in the 6am hour.
 
I tuned in to see if they were still playing Classic Country during morning drive & heard Laura Ingraham.

Since I read this a few days ago I've tuned in to 1190 and all I hear is Jim Lacamp's Money-Sense program. Where's Laura at? ???
 
Six AM to ? I don't know if Jim and Pat come on at their usual 7:30 or now start at 8:00 AM. They are buying the time so I'm guessing Laura goes until 7:30. I know I heard her around 7:15 the other morning....a show that was nearly 24 hours old!!!!

Some syndicators will accept anything to clear national spots!

According to the station's website the Laura Ingraham show runs from 5:00 AM to 7:30 AM http://www.dfw1190am.com/pages/headline_news.html

As for for the spots, 5:00 AM is before sunrise when that station's signal is tiny. Can't be a lot of people listening to them at least in the first hour or so given the time and signal. My guess is what is also important to the syndicator is to be able to say the show is on in the Dallas/Fort Worth market.

Ah OK.. I wondered about the early hours on 1190, that explains it.. never mind if it's a day old. I never listened to the delayed show on WBAP when it was 12 hours old.

Hummm... perhaps a 97.1/1190 simulcast could be in the works. Hate to see the legendary KEGL flip again, but the hard rock format has been stagnant for years.

Hard rock isn't stagnant, just their incarnation...what horrible musical selections.

I would welcome that. There's a big void with all the good programs Cumulus
removed in the D/FW market.

Judging from the Internet blog traffic, Cumulus has made a lot of enemies
with people who relied on this and other programs, who now find them gone.
People don't like not being able to rely on a station for something the
station promoted, and that became a personal habit.

Don't be surprised when the public demands new regulations on the whole
industry.

So far they have canceled: Coast-To-Coast, Rusty Humphries, Glenn Beck
(his home market area), Jeff Bolton (local show), Mark Davis (local
show) and Fox News on the hour. There may be more.

I don't think any demands for such regulations will come from the fans of the specific programs you mention. They know very well that demanding regulations opens the door to "fairness" doctrine type controls that would remove such programing and opinions from all stations.

The marketplace will take care of Cumulus. If there really is a demand for Huckabee style wishy washy (i.e., "non-strident) allegedly conservative talk radio beyond the world of Cumulus' press releases and if listeners continue to tune in despite the removal of such programs the people at Cumulus will be fully vindicated and will look like geniuses. If not, then they will look like fools and will have given up audience to their competitors.

All I can say is I sure wouldn't invest any money in Cumulus stock.
 
Back to 1190 for just a moment.....they're speaking with more authority in the last week or two.

The processing seems to have been worked on and their loudness/modulation is now competitive.
For the longest time they were much quieter than everyone else.

Thanks to CC engineering for fixing that.

I noticed that too. During much of its recent existence, KFXR was literally a hole on dial since the modulation was so low. I can't help but think they were trying to prolong tube life.

Back in spring 2005, when they were doing the oldies format under the aegis of First Broadcasting, 1190 had the best AM audio I heard since the glory days of WCFL. The processing was perfect with a lot of punch and crisp high frequency response. For a few brief months, KFXR had the best sounding AM audio (to my ears at least) I heard in decades. Anywhere.
