MONTEREY BAY GETS BOB-FM AND SOUNDING PRETTY GOOD!

[airpab]

Finally the suits at Mapleton woke up and decided to put the 95.5 signal to good use!

As HANK Country, they were duking it out with KTOM for a relative small piece of listener pie...and getting 1.0 shares and less.

Now....They can come at KWAV & relative newcomer Z-979 (60's & 70's) with a different mix of music & more lively sound!

Smart to flip now too....KWAV is all Christmas right now!

Great, I wish them the best of luck with the new format

Mapleton has been phasing out Hank in many markets, They used to have the following Hanks
-KNNN 99.3 Hank FM in Redding (Now A simulcast of AM News Talker KQMS 1400, didn't go Bob because Redding already has a Bob @ 107.1) The old Hank format moved to KFMD-LP 87.7
-105.1 Hank FM in Medford (I don't know what is now, does anyone here know?)
-106.3 Hank FM in Merced (Now Magic 106.3)
And now 95.5 Hank FM becoming Bob, it should be noted that Bob and Hank were both started by the same consultant, and the rights to Hank and Bob are owned by the same company

now if only they could sound pretty good and get a CHR-Pop station that plays stuff from Neon Trees, Katy Perry, & Pitbull then we'll be set!

KDON sounds great and serves the market just fine, however the market does have a Hot AC, 101.7 The Beach  http://www.1017thebeach.com/lineup.php  it too is a Mapleton station

Oddly enough the 95.5 Hank FM website is still showing a playlist that is current http://hankcountry.com/home.php

the new Bob FM website http://www.955bobfm.com/
