Reverb on Kool 98!!!!!!!!!

G

Garrett

Has anyone else noticed that Kool 98 (Lubbock) has reverb now?
Not only that, but it seems like it's been getting progressively heavier each day (tweaking, no doubt).

I love it, keep it up!
(Now if we could just add it to Z102 also...)

I'll swing an antenna that way tonight and check. Last time I was through there, they sounded very unprocessed. After KLUV the first part of the trip, the sound is pretty flat. I don't think reverb alone would help that much, but I'll give it a listen and see.

I have noticed they have tweaked their playlist. Not as much flip side clunker, a little more planning of the sets. Much better station than they were a couple of years ago.

The reverb is on the Voice Tracks, not on the chain. I should add that I'm not sure that all the shifts are using it. In fact, it was one of the jocks voice tracked out of market on the middays where I heard it. I have to see if Landon King has reverb also.

I didn't hear any difference last night. Of course, the fine points of an audio chain might not be as apparent after going 330 miles. But - the nice thing about deep fringe - no multipath because its a point source and not strong enough to reflect. I am now contending with IBOC trash on an adjacent station, so it makes Kool 98 a tough catch. Atmospherics were definitely working with me last night.
 
Does someone have an mp3 of this? I'm curious how it sounds.

Just FYI...the voice-trackers on Kool 98 (middays and nights)are from KBGO in Waco - a station with pretty good processing (mic and on-air). In fact, all of the CC stations in Waco have great sound quality.

Thumbs up. Sounds pretty crisp to me.
