Re: The New 103-KVE
Had to make an early airport run this morning and caught about half an hour on the way back...
Hendrix... All Along the Watchtower
Tom Petty... Love Is A Long Road
Hour ID
Yes... Owner Of a Lonely Heart
Elvis Costello... Accidents Will Happen
Clarks... Not Your Lover (... I'm guessing on the title, I don't know their stuff very well...)
Foghat... Fool for The City
Van Hagar... Standing On Top Of The World
Bob Seger ... Katmandu (studio version)
Bob said this would be AOR... that's exactly what it is....
Music is well programmed, all uptempo like a good oldies station... they also dropped in a recorded weather break with Barry Banker...
Very listenable, congrats Bob & Friends...

Re: The New 103-KVE
Coming in 20/20 at my house, good in the car though they tend to drop out in some of the
lower lying areas of Bethel Park and Mt. Lebo. Good to hear they weren't an Urban Legend
after all.

Re: The New 103-KVE
The Clarks song is called Trampoline.
It's a newer one.

All good points. Then again the station's in its first day.
DVE does more with less when it comes to the deep cut stuff. They play far fewer and really sell the heck out of them; a little goes a long way in terms of imaging and you're not playing stuff that's unfamiliar to lots of people.
I'm pretty good as far as classic rock knowledge and there were a couple of songs I'd just flat-out never heard today, and I wasn't even sure who the artist was. One might have been Rush, another maybe Collective Soul, but total guesses. There was a Doobie Brothers cut that I know I've heard - years ago- but couldn't tell you the name of (post Tom Johnston with a long guitar jam). Also Deep Purple's "Smooth Dancer."
My guess is that the intention here is not to staff this with jocks, but maybe they can find a way to do some limited voice-tracking or tag certain songs with title and artist (we don't need that for "More Than A Feeling", a la Q29.9...).
But still it's a pretty good start, and with some tweaks it can be a nice addition to the dial.

No 620 or 770 today?? But I did hear KVE loud and clear in Somerset this evening around 7:30

Re: The New 103-KVE
If you play the same deep cut over and over again...it's not a deep cut anymore. Also, "stuff we used to play constantly but quit playing so we could play Marshall Tucker a dozen more times every day" is also not a deep cut. Not applying this so much to Sean's 4 o'clock and 6 o'clock things, but the things that Jack Malloy deems "deep cuts" are just laughable.
If you don't know the name of something, catch a lyric, write it down, and look it up on the internet like everyone else. If they are going to staff this...here's a concept...call the station and ask.

Re: The New 103-KVE
The AM transmitter site is quite rural, and when there are bad storms (as last night), it affects both the power lines
and phone lines feeding the transmitter. This happens more often than any of us would like, and getting everything
back to normal takes much more time than any of us would like.
Think Hooterville. ;D

Its 2010, and we are used to being able to see what was played on a website, listen to a station stream in our office, and listen to a station from an app on our cell phones.
There's no room for a station that plays unfamiliar songs, and has no way to identify them. People will just punch the dial back to DVE, WHJB FM or something else.

Re: The New 103-KVE
I agree. While listening tonight from 9-11, while I knew the majority of the music being I love classic rock, there were a few obscure tunes that I have no idea who they were and never heard before elsewhere. It would have been great if I could have looked them up on a site like yes.com.
Good liners, nice tight segues, just need some good "booming bass" live jocks or voicetrackers.
I have listened to many classic rock stations that I felt were pretty good in the past 20 years, WTPA, WMGK, WMMR, WGLU, WKMZ, WRFY, to name a few. KVE for being just new is off to a good start, but needs a little tweeking, which can be expected.
Good job Bob and Clarke!

PBRTV (www.pbrtv.com) reports that road construction crews took out some phone lines leading to the 620/770 transmitter site.
"Crews hope to have service restored sometime today. "

Re: The New 103-KVE
Well if you have that fancy schmancy of a cell phone...you should be able to type a lyric in and Google it wherever you are. Thank you for playing and have a nice day. :-*
If we've really gotten to the point that people are that terrified of not knowing the name of a song the minute it plays, or hearing new things, our society is more pathetic than I thought.

WYEP has a dedicated base of paying members who SEND THEM MONEY to play unfamiliar songs.
