Multiple stations are now simulcasting a single rock format. I can sometimes hear 97.7 KSNP depending on where I am in Johnson County (mixing with all the other 97.7s out there).

How does it compare to KCFX in terms of what it plays?
 
Wasn't there a group in Arkansas that tried to do the same thing in that state with some of its stations? If I remember correctly, the effort fell flat on its face and I predict the same will happen in Kansas.
 
I can see this being done in other regions around the Midwest more often. There is already a sports format model on a statewide level in Wisconsin and Iowa for this that iheart is doing.
 
At least they flipped the Chaunte KS 105.5 and NOT the beloved KVSV up in Beloit. I was a little leery about which 105.5 flipped before I clicked on the link.
 
Murfin has taken some of the state's best radio minds and put this together. Lyman James and Jack Oliver are programming the format and I thought the music mix sounded really well done. It won't add any local programming, but it will be at least based in the state. I wish them the best.

Arkansas is mainly AMers and translators.

over thinking it.

same music logs across the state and talent will eb track, if there is any.

why complicate things? no need for a "network feed" with so mucvh to go wrong. same playlists, same talent.. just playing out locally.

Amen, Paul.

From the outset, I designed The Eighties Channel™ so the same logs can be exported to any automation software, using the same "cart numbers" for music and imaging. About as close to a turnkey format as one can get these days.

Shameless plug for my vendor partner: MusicMaster makes it easy to schedule once and output logs in multiple formats to match the automation software being used by a station for playback. (One of a multitude of reasons why I love MM.)
