Rockin' Country 106.7

sawtooth_mcmull

I just gotta say... I though this country station would have a very tight playlist! It was at first, but ya gotta give it to the PD John McQueen. He's added more and more songs to that station that I haven't heard in years... not even on WNOE! It's kinda suprising actually... to me anyway. Just my thoughts. Thanks!<P ID="signature">______________

What about the morning show? Is it a good fit for this Rockin Country format?

I also noticed their new installation also sounds much better than the old setup. No more muddy sound. Also, they hold up much better against Q106.5's signal when approaching Baton Rouge.

It actually <u>was</u> processed the same as when it was 106-7 The End. I listened to them off and on since the first hour they came back on the air as Rockin' Country.

Funny thing, we had them on at work. It was a Friday evening and they were playing some song by Tim McGraw when an engineer started to make adjustments to the audio processing. First, the treble popped in extremely high... so high it was sibilant and distorted for about a minute. It was during that time, you could hear the release time, clipping, etc. was being slowed down and toned down. When he was done (about a minute or so later), the treble was snapped back down to normal and the station was not as compressed as it was. It's been that way ever since.

IMO they should've left the processing the way it was at first (like on The End) because it made them sound like they were loud and rockin.

The other two I know doing Rocking country in the US (Big Willie 92.5 in Denver and WSM FM in Nashville) are both using classic hits instead of clasic rock for the rock segments.... Stuff that has been played in the south on country stations before such as the Eagles and Pure Prairie League's "Aimee" (featuring a young Vince Gill) when you still had some free form (as well as others from the classic hit list).

Some songs on Rocking country I can agree with such as 3 Doors Down (some of their songs could be played on country songs given what's passing for country these days) or even Uncle Kracker (who has tried to follow Kid Rock and make country songs).... But George Thurogood?,AC/DC? I know when country turned Nashville pop in the early 90's some went to classic rock, but compared to the others playlist in the subgendre, KKND is going for narrowcasting for sure if the station is taken overall (and yes they have to liner it to death like a Jack) .... McQueen needs to watch for all these narrowcasts he's putting together don't bite him IMO

I know Sig and Vydra are programming Red (variety Hits ala Jack) in BR, but some of this has no follow through in the songs sometimes.. Even the mornign show is wrong as "the Morning train wreck" as Sid and Vydra call it, are good but are definitely wrong format..even the music beds still scream alt. Rocker.... (I'm wondering if this station was the actual format destined for 100.3 before the deal has seemingly vanished)

I'm still torn on the station, they play the same tired songs to adnauseium (OK please stop playing Waylon's "good Ole' Boys" for one) and are inconsistant at times.... BUT playing Texas music and catching a groove occasionally have me torn on this station, with me still monitoring at times to decide what I think of the station. (That and I'm trying to make judgements on KXKC 99.1 Lafayette's slight move to New Country only (as they were a kick @$$ radio station before this IMO)

i think i am in the target on this one..i love waylon, willie, hank jr, cdb, merle haggard..etc..i dont like repetition either BUT waylon is an exception. you cant have a good country station without waylon! there are about 10 songs from the 70s 80s that i just love. and those are the ones some people are sick of..dukes theme, cant you see (waylon version), devil went down to georgia, family tradition, good hearted woman..those songs i will never, ever get tired of! about the rock..as i said this is aparently targeted at someone like me. i was a huge ac/dc fan in 1981..as well as a huge alabama fan. my homes in alabama is one of those songs i never get tired of..they could play waylon, gretchin and black sabbath and i would love it!! now shanai, garth and duran duran..i would hurl and destroy the radio!! btw thanks rfla..for letting me know the playlist has expanded..i probably would not have noticed..i havent been listing to any radio lately..but i did tonight.. i love 106.7!
