True Oldies Channel on KRBE HD2
- Thread starter rageradio
- Start date
"why did they do this?" So the nine people who still have HD radios will have something to search for.
KRBE HD2 WAS simulcasting KHJK 103.7

Looking at the ratings for KRBE, they really should put this on the main channel for KRBE. I can't believe the ratings for a major station like that can be so low, unless it is a misprint.

KRBE should pick up the format AAA that KHJK at 103.7 is currently using. That's wishful thinking though.
OldChicago said:
Yes, it's an intentionally misleading misprint on Arbitron's part. They no longer publicly share numbers for non-subscribing stations and KRBE doesn't subscribe.

WOW! There are so may knowledgeable users in this group. This makes me wonder, what are the REAL numbers for KRBE and they are low enough, would they be willing to do a format change. It would cost them almost nothing to run the True Oldies Channel, because I believe they (Cumulus Media) owns it. The have had good success with it in Chicago when they ran it on WLS-FM.
Old Chicago
No idea what the numbers are now, but the last time there were any public numbers for KRBE, it was cuming well over a million. I suspect not much has changed, and I also suspect there is zero chance of a format change at 104.1.OldChicago said:
San Antonio needs the True Oldies Channel which is better than KONO. BMP, How about placing the station on AM 720, AM 550, or on 94.1?
Finally the station comes to Houston, well sort of.
Do they still own 97.5? Or they sold that one as well?

Thanks for the head-up. True Oldies Channel is GREAT!
Maybe KONO should ditch the FM/AM simulcast and put True Oldies on 860 and tweak 101.1 to somewhat later material?

What about AM 550, or AM 720, also owned by Border? AM 720 simulcasts on 104.1. Anotherwards move Norteno to 104.1 only and place TOC on AM 720.

I'd love it if KONO put their oldies on one of the clearer San Antonio signals. 550, 630, 680, 720 are all clear of the splatter than KEYH puts all over 860. KEYH is a BAD neighbor! The only thing they could do that is any worse than the splatter they cause now is add IBOC. At times they almost obliterate 860, and I'd love it if that stupid KEYH would go off the air and leave 860 clear! Or at least low pass their audio at 5 kHz.
760 has much weaker signal over Houston than the other SA low frequency AMs.
I seriously doubt anybody in San Antonio would flip just to give Houston an oldies station. Some of the signals have really good strength in Houston, but none are strong enough for "rim shot" status. They would have to have the signal strength like a KLVI or a KCTA to have a chance. It would be fantastic if somebody could buy KCTA and put something relevant on it.

Not with the current shares KONO is pulling.
It would be much easier for KONO to add the programming to it's 12 AM to 6 AM hour, like with KXBT in Austin.
Besides, the station is jockless after midnight, and the request lines aren't open.
As for, AM 760 Clear Channel would probally flip that to Jammin like they did on 103.1 in Austin.
True Oldies is on the HD2 because KHJK is in the process of being sold to EMF. Also, Cumulus manages the network through a subdivision.
