What is missing from suburban Houston radio?

[radiotony]

I haven't been to the Houston area in close to 20 years but I've been wondering about the radio scene in the area. How are things going there? What's missing from the radio landscape in Matagorda, Wharton, Jackson and Brazoria counties?

Brazoria County - KBRZ-AM is now Spanish-Religious.

Matagorda County- KMKS-FM is the dominant local station in Bay City, live and local in the morning, satellite country rest of time.

Wharton County - KULP-AM is still live and local all day with classic country, local news, trading post, etc. -- and billing very well I hear.

KANI-AM in Wharton is all religion and owned by the Rev. Darrell Martin.

Also Roy Henderson has several FM's in the general area you asked about, playing a variety of music formats.

Did I miss any stations?

1270 KIOX, no longer on the air and is deleted.

In the burbs there needs to be a good 70s 80s 90s R&B Soul Funk & some 80s to early 90s rap hiphop. A station that could make it into Houston with decent range playing this format would rule

Brian, that depends on the demographics of the suburb. Example: If the signal only covers a rural area where the population is Hispanic 40 plus, then a R&B or Hip Hop station would not work.

oldies. (at least English ones)

A REAL Rock station! None of this all classic crap and none of this Stone Sour, Three Days Grace, Blue October, 30 seconds to Mars, Hinder, on rotation crap!

Actually KMKS (Hot Country 102.5) Is live and local 6a-7p. With only one syndicated countdown show on Sunday afternoon.

Pretty much the same things that are missing from the stations within Houston city limits: Entertainment, decent music and originality. Other than that they are peachy-keen.
