Hm. Interesting that Spots for Dots is trying to create some interest for RR. Methinks that SFD works for 650. Not sayin' that's bad, just sayin' their question (and motive?) is a bit transparent. Hey SFD, why don't you just tell us what's happening instead of cloaking it in a question? I'm sure we'd all like to know what RR is doing these days.
SFD seems to know alot about the RR/650 situation. See their October 2007 post about why RR left the station:

While doing traffic moments ago for KIKK, I just heard a promo for Ronnie - He's going to be doing an afternoon music show on KIKK, starting January 5th...
When does Ronnie go on today, 2p...3p?
Ronnie was on the air just after 4pm today, and went off at about 5:30pm as this is when KIKK signs off during the winter months...regardless, it sounded good - it was something different on the air, a nice mix of cool jazz and such...
Ronnie will be back on the air tomorrow afternoon just after 4pm.
Ronnie will be back on the air tomorrow afternoon just after 4pm.

Classic Cool Radio to Debut on 650 AM
The new year brings a new format to Houston radio. Beginning Monday, January 5, 2009, “Classic Cool” will reunite Houston listeners with the Rat Pack, Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall, Michael Buble, and Norah Jones. Hosts Ronnie Renfrow and Tom Richards will join listeners for the drive home beginning at 4pm, Monday through Friday.
Longtime Houston radio personality Ronnie Renfrow and his Classic Cool team have created a format that is unique not only to Houston, but to the national radio scene as well.
“This is by far the biggest programming void in radio. The artists of Classic Cool are selling millions of CD’s annually, but listeners have had nowhere to go on the dial – until now,” Renfrow said.
“This is definitely not a nostalgia format,” Renfrow stressed. “Classic Cool is far removed from that approach in that we will feature new music from contemporary artists who are all over the Billboard charts.”
Classic Cool will present a blend of singers, classic jazz, Latin, and blues. Stars of the show include Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Ella Fitzgerald, Harry Connick Jr., Gloria Estefan, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, and B.B. King, to name just a few.
The format’s web site – classiccool.com - is the first of its kind, exploring music both new and vintage. Visitors to the site can register to win rare and valuable prizes, including musical collectibles. Listeners will also be able to participate in online exchanges with the hosts, who are experts on the artists and the music. Additionally, the web site will be a resource for information on live music performances in Houston.
While the Classic Cool format is being launched in Houston, its creators are in the process of syndicating programming to other cities. “We are excited by the possibilities that syndication holds, since we know that we have something truly unique and entertaining to offer,” Renfrow said.

KHUI is Honolulu is doing pretty well with it.

The Jewel sounds very good. I've listened online. Many will find it odd that Salem Communications owns it. It goes to show you that Salem does more than just Christian teaching and Newstalk. It also has a couple of business stations in addition to Spanish language broadcasting.
Well, I wouldn't call it that. Besides, I don't think our general manager, Chuck Jewel would go for it. He might go for "Jewel" though. However, its radio and anything can happen. I would like to see an Standards format of some sort on the air in Houston.
