Let's randomly just make up stuff about KTYS' "flip"

[texas_prwriter]

I heard from a friend that KTYS would play Christmas music year-round, except during Christmas.

A very reliable source has informed me they will have their Engineer rig up an old FM radio tuned to hash, and feed it into the KTYS Transmitter. Calls will be KHSH... The flip will occur in the year 2525.

Just off the wire...

Citadel announces launch of rechristened Smooth AC (née Smooth Jazz)format on the troubled 96.7 frequency in the Dallas/Ft. Worth market. Citadel CEO Farid Suleman was quoted saying "This is an auspicious day for our company, our employees, Internet users, and radio listeners in North Texas. We can't wait to bring the retread Smooth AC format to town to quell down the the noisy Smooth Jazz fans on radio-info.com. They just can't let go, no-matter the economics, so we thought what better format for our throwaway signal. It's a win-win."

The format switch is expected before the end of the second quarter.

that's not what I heard. KHSH will be immediate - people love HD radio so much the HD lovers decided to give them the raw - unfiltered experience of first adjacent FM hash - on the main frequency.

Next, ABC will program IBOC sideband interference on WBAP's main analog channel, to get people acclaimated to the experience. In the hope that - eventually - their brains will reprogram and they won't need an HD radio to hear digital content.

Hey - it could happen - if you believe HD radio is a marketplace success ----

They should put their two audio channels 180 degrees out of phase.

 

[mrwonton]

all commercials all the time

"They should put their two audio channels 180 degrees out of phase."

Their mono listeners would enjoy some pieceful programming for sure!

Now if they'd just convence the car dealers that making their spots all mono would be LOUDER and they should be LOUDER to catch the listeners' attention we'd be all set.

;D

I really wish they would try Classic Hip Hop/New Jack Swing format. Target demo 29-40 black adults. Music would come from 1983 to about 1996. Core artists would be:

LL Cool J
Public Enemy
BDP
Guy
Blackstreet
Today
Troop
LSG
Keith Sweat
Queen Latifah
Stetasonic
Monie Love
Run DMC
Whodini
Salt N Pepa
UTFO
XClan
Professor Griff & The LAD
Janet Jackson
Michael Jackson
Shalamar
Atlantic Starr
Tevin Campbell
Al B. Sure!
SWV
Tony, Toni, Tone
Mary J Blige
Biggie Smalls
Ice T
Ice Cube
NWA
Digable Planets
NAS
AZ
Keith Murray
Mantronix
EPMD
Redman
WuTang Clan
Erick Sermon
A Tribe Called Quest
De La Soul
Pete Rock & CL Smooth
3rd Bass

NAHHHHHHHHH....WE don't need another station that can't be heard in Oak Cliff and Southern Dallas County!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it would be the BOMB station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[eas_test]

I heard they'll change it to something like this (click)

 

[eliseatheduck]

"all commercials all the time"
aren't all radio stations doing this format already?"


KTYS will be all english for the spanish speaking community. It'll be the first station ever to have a SAP channel which will only be heard in French. The Music will be a mixture of some new, some old, some current ,some rejected non tested limited research cuts featuring well known groups doing unknown songs about syndicated voice tracking that failed the Britney Spears sobriety test with a Paula Abdul falsetto exclusively heard on Today's station that will flip Jack into a sloppy KISS on a Moving Lonestar tatooed Wolf That will The Beat heard around every Free Fm in the country.

Z-Rock 96.7

The Local Rock Station

 

[busyradioguy]

I like that 180 degree phase rotation idea! I'd also suggest KTYS reverse the audio. That would be fun! ;D

 

[Gopher]

All spanish sports talk all the time.

 

[Watercooler]

I was in Las Vegas in meetings and I heard that they like the pride network from Clear Channel so much that they made a deal with Clear Channel to move it off of KHKS HD-2 to 96.7. But it will be locally programmed with Jagger in the mornings and Melissa Etheridge and the Backstreet boys all day. The carpet show with Lindsay Lohan in the afternoon would be a ratings hit in the DFW metroplex!

 

[MikeShannon914]

OK, been chewing on what would be the ultimate impossibility...

Hal Jay will be moved to 96.7 to be the second-banana on the new "Dan Potter Morning Revue." 96.7 will be programmed as a liberal talker, as part of an attempt by Citadel to show their "self-governance" in the absence of the Fairness Doctrine. Sean Hannity's illegitimate black-sheep brother, Hannibal Hannity, will do afternoons (with John "Records" Landeker doing V/O's,) and a roundtable talk show will run in middays...its only purpose is to monitor the Rush Limbaugh Show in real time, and make their own comments and poke fun along the way.

BTW, the station will bring back its old "KNKI" calls, and will be known as "Kinky 96.7." Bob McNeill will return to the market to program it. Overnights, Bill Mack and Don Harris will team up to bring back the "Midnight Cowboy" show to the terretrial airwaves, but the absence of 42-state coverage is likely to become an issue very quickly. Truckers traversing between Frisco and Prosper will enjoy it, however.

 

[charlestondxman]

Oh, KTYS will become the all-traffic station in the Metroplex, with traffic reports on the farms in Bowie and southern Oklahoma.

Or, it could become all quotations, with the best quotations from local television and from famous books repeated all day.

 

[busyradioguy]

Or the all Diana Ross format... "Do we know, where we're going to?"

 

[leethalweapon]

all commercials all the time

I believe that position is already taken by every low (and some major) rated stations.

 

[OKCRadioGuy]

Classic Hip-Hop.. That's an interesting concept. Mixed up with some old school it would be pretty neat.

Hell, at least it would be something creative for once!
