Sioux City gets a KISS...

Interesting. According to radio-locator, Sioux City has 4 country stations with one being a traslator of WNAX-FM out of Yankton, SD, which according to radio-locator, it's main frequency has solid coverage in Sioux City.

The soft AC format has a very loyal & dedicated listners and advertisers love these soccer moms. Would one of the existing country stations or another station all together step up and fill this void?

Re:

Tommy if you keep up those references, your fans might start to Back you Less. Actually I was watching Regis and Kelly and they discussed this topic, so you should watch "Reg" and see... I think Kelly Ripa is hot, but how about Brooke Burke, man I would Saddle Brooke if I could. When I was done with her I would have her walking the broadway.
I was over walking on the Hill Top it has quite nice Park View also a nice Forest View I guess. After a while, I stepped down to the LakeRidge and walked along the lakeside. I wanted to go fishing, but I can't quite Chord a Net. I have been back and forth between the Town and Campus and I still haven't been able to find a Tailor who can teach me how to do it. Well it was nice catching up with you.

The KG95 website shows the last 10 artists played around Midnight are Nickelback, Finger 11, Hootie & the Blowfish, Rob Thomas, Pat Benatar, Melissa Etheridge, Animotion, Santana/Steven Tyler, Kelly Clarkson, and The Eagles. That'd be AC! It goes right with the "Today's Hits and Yesterday's Favorites" slogan now listed on their website. It was "Your #1 Hit Music Station" when I was in Sioux City last August.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by JonEllis on 03/29/06 06:31 AM.</FONT></P>

MODERN AC:

Stations with this format have a slightly younger target audience than the AC format. More upbeat music and more cutting edge music is prevalent. Modern AC is a hybrid between Hot AC and Modern Rock (Alternative) music with an almost exclusive concentration on current hits and music of the past 12 months.

No it doesn't have solid coverage, it's spotty due to all the hills in Sioux City, which is why they put in the translator and why WNAX essentially gave up on Sioux City and moved the station back to yankton.

WNAX-FM is a farm station, and it's highly unlikely they would change to anything else.

KSUX has been the top country station (and often the top station) for a long time, so they won't be changing.

NRG's KKYY might be a possibility. NRG a couple of weeks ago flipped their Hot AC to "Bob"... maybe they should have waited and gone soft AC.

The changes to KISS and KG95 would seem to leave a big void in northwest Iowa for CHR, as KISS is 6kw while KG95 is 100kw. There was a CHR in Spencer, but that changed to Hot AC the first of the year.

This would seem to be a 'fine tuning' of sorts. I'm guessing KISS will be edgier than KG95 since KG was a fairly conservative CHR. This way, CC can focus a younger CHR format on the prime urban area of Sioux City, while delivering a more HotAC/ModernAC format to the rest of NW IA.

This would fit with the demographics of the region since the KISS format would be favored more in Sioux City proper, as opposed to the rest of NW IA.

Someone still could take a run with CHR at the rest of the region, but with the advertising dollars available in NW IA, I'm assuming that's an unlikely possibility.

KSUX

KSUX? You've gotta be df'in me. What a great name for a country station! That's about as bad as a station that takes the last two letters of its name to represent its city of origin and then moves out of that city!
