Not sure where you heard about a new Top-40/CHR station for Spokane....no animal like that is living and breathing in the Inland Northwest. KAZZ/107.1 is back on the using just their Deer Park transmitter and is calling themselves
"K-HITS"--Superhits of the 70's & 80's. Musically, it's fairly listenable, but the signal doesn't even allow it to stop at 107.1 when I hit scan on my car radio, and I live near the North Division "Y,"and I have a great JBL radio in my 2006 Toyota Solara. Gotta be frustrating for whoever plans on buying the station and facilities. The old KQQB/104.5 is still off the air, and I don't hear a thing about them returning anytime soon.

The closest things we have to Top-40 CHR's are 929/KZZU and 103.1/KCDA and they are both HOT A/C's. ZZU utilizes personality and KCDA is jockless, but does back announce each and every song they do play. A very nice feature, as does 96.1/KIXZ one of the 4 country stations in Spokane.

It will be interesting a few years down the road when we get PPM here vs. the diary system. Certantly a big shuffle of the ratings for Seattle.
 
Hey JJ--

Good to see you on the blog! What are you up to these days? Miss your voice this side of the hills.
 
Hey---I miss being on the air on KJR-FM...it was simply a Jay Kelly decision...wanting someone from Seattle to do the show, although that's my hometown....just started my 12th year at 98.1/KISS-FM in Spokane doing the afternoon show, and my production company www.cbsspokane1.com is still going strong. I do stuff for KMAS in Shelton, KWLE in Anacortes, KRKO in Everett over in the western part of the state...and a bunch of others like Cle Elum, Grand Coulee, Pullman, The Dalles/Hood River, Grants Pass, Boise, Butte, Helena and then Eastward as well.....

Life's ok...but again i would love to be on the air in Seattle...maybe one day down the road it will happen again....just have to wait and see!!

:cool:

Good to hear, man. Think I may have heard some of your stuff on KXA whilst traversing the 90 last Saturday. Local spots that sounded awfully decent, considering the otherwise automated source.
 
Thanks for the kudos....I have 7 folks in addition to me doing voicework for me...really great talented people that make the job a little easier and I can provide a variety of voices to my clients....My stuff is fine, but it's like if you have steak everyday, it's not going to be as good and as tasty. I probably voice a bigger percentage of stuff, but I am blessed and love what I do. The folks that own 93.7/KXA are great people, they also own KEYG AM/FM in Grand Coulee and have been a client since I got rolling back in 1998. Since one of the Ellensburg stations went K-Love, it's less competition.
