SBS Buys KROI for $7.5 million

I see what you mean about the studio issues. It sounds like what it sounds like when I don't have my headphones plugged in all the way...
 
I missed the flip, but have been listening to 92.1 for a bit. They are having massive audio problems.

Rant mode on: It is INEXCUSABLE to launch a new format or operation and not have technical issues ironed out. If you are not ready to go once handed the keys, sign off the transmitter, resolve your audio chain problems, test it out on air in the wee hours of the morning, then go from there. This reeks of poor planning. Rant mode off.

The audio quality is shifting around as if it is being worked on, so hopefully they can get things fixed.
 
What's that song they're looping? I tried Shazaming it, but nothing came up.
I have no clue. Shazam should do the trick. I haven't had a chance to sit down and listen for long, except for a quick listen here and there. Audio was cracking awfully when I first listened. Now it sounds way too hollow.

Interestingly enough, the translator on 92.3 in Spring seems to be booming better than it was before the flip. Both station have coexisted quite well around the Woodlands area ever since Urban One moved KROI to the taller tower.

It's just straight up looping with no liners or anything. It's so weird.

They did have over a year and a half to plan for this. The technical issues are probably confusing the heck out of Praise listeners.
 
I guess now is the time to set a recorder. They've had several months to plan this out and a loop that lasts longer than a few hours should be considered an operational failure IMO.
It’s over. They finally stopped playing that one song (it should be against The Law to play it ever again, if you know what I mean)
 
Yeah there’s definitely still audio issues, but I think they’re less obvious than they were before (although I’m listening on a mono radio so maybe not)

Edit: never mind - they’re definitely very obvious now
 
You assume there were people listening to Praise on 92.1… that aren’t on this site.
The first iteration of Praise was quite popular among older African Americans .There are probably dozens of confused older African Americans right now wondering what is going on.
 
The FM sounds ok. The HD has the bad audio issue. The songs are all over the place. I dont who would want to listen to this , ranchera, norteno, banda, tejano, all over the place.

That despite Praise branding as “102.1 HD-2” for the past 18 months. After a while the redirect becomes irrelevant noise when nothing actually happens to 92.1 until now. I haven’t heard one of their “We’re moving!” promos in about six months.
