What is up with 105.5 in Baton Rouge???

F

Fieldtech1

I know its a move-in from Franklin, LA, are they testing still????
I heard standards, oldies, smooth jazz, AC cuts, all bumble jumbled together, No Liners, No IDs, Just one hard transition to the next with about 2 seconds of dead air between cuts. The processing is rather poor as well.
 
Unfortunately, that is exactly how they sounded for over two years when it was in Franklin.
 
No they are actually licensed for the frequency there (full license) since September 2007... but my guess is they never got really set up there in BR

They sounded like that in Franklin but had some liners and ads cut right about the time the station was up for sale in Franklin and were airing them down there when I heard them last in Franklin. They claimed the moon to move cause no one wanted to buy the station in Franklin (ultimately selling the co-owned AM station to a local broadcaster)
 
I heard it when I was in Baker for Christmas. What do you think the future holds for this station?
By the way, it doesn't have a very good signal in Baker.
 
The only way it could come into the BR market was as a West Baton Rouge Parish radio station as seperation rules pretty much can only place it there. It covers downtown BR around LSU but it's main thing I think is to make it more attractive to a buyer as it set for about 2 years in Franklin with no buyers. They moved it to Baton Rouge on the pretense that the station was unable basically to sustain in Franklin post katrina/Rita

The owners have said in media reports that they wanted to give BR listeners a alternative to what was out there etc etc, but from what I've heard, they haven't really done anything post move with the station.
 
The calls: KDDK
COL: Addis, LA
ERP: 6kw
Antenna HAAT: 328ft


I would turn it into an FM talker. Several guys are not under affiliation in the BR market that would work on FM.


They can't brand themselves as "Smooth Jazz". WBRH will sue; they attempted to sue Guaranty when 104.5 was smooth jazz.


I'm hoping "Duck" doesn't mean "Jack-FM" or "Bob-FM".
 
Now Spanish

Dont know whats up now but when i was in B.R. today they were playing "spanish" music. Are there that many hispanics in Baton Rouge to support a station?
