What's Next For San Francisco

Let's see....KCNL-104.9 switches back to Alternative after a little more than a year of Spanish AC. KMAX-95.7 switches back to Country from Adult Hits, but this time to a Wolf. And KTRB-860 does a tribute to San Francisco Radio Stations of the past before settling to Talk on March 15. What else will happen in 2007? Hopefully Entercom will not dump KDFC's Classical Format, but if by chance, you tune to 102.1 and listen to an All Elvis Presley stunt or a Continuous "Louie Louie's", then expect Oldies to reappear in San Francisco. Never Say Never!. I have heard from everyone saying that Country wouldn't return to San Francisco, but it did. Will CBS change any of their stations? 2 of them stand out like a sore thumb: KYCY-1550 and KIFR-106.9. Will Clear Channel do any more changes in their San Jose cluster before selling? How about KOIT-1260! While 1260 is still owned by Bonneville and 96.5 is now owned by Entercom, they continue to simulcast. Is Bonneville paying Entercom for the permission to simulcast or is Entercom enjoying a bonus signal without paying for it?
 
97.3 Jack-FM or 106.9 Jack-FM or no Jack-FM at all?

With Max gone, does anyone think CBS will bring Jack into the Bay Area, or has the Adult Hits format been burned in SF with Max? I know that in Sacramento, that after Bob-92.1 left, that CBS brought in Jack to replace Howard-93.7. But the question is, If Jack does come in, which frequency would it occupy? 106.9? or 97.3? I doubt that CBS will pull the plug on Movin' 99.7 yet?
 
Max failed. Jack didn't fail.
Both stations fall loosely under the same formatic umbrella, but are not clones. There are Jack formats being executed which would sound outstanding in SF.

Max failed. Why would anyone bring in Jack?
Let's see... Country failed with 95.7 The Bear yet there is now Country again with 95.7 The Wolf. Bonneville didn't make Adult Hits work but CBS probably would. Remember, First Broadcasting didn't make Bob work in Sacramento but CBS is making Jack work.
 
With the right person or persons programming the music, Jack does it better and if you don't think so then you don't know "Jack!" lol lol lol......Jack FM with the best and I mean the BEST music of the 80's, and 90's along with the best of today could do quite well. Although I would drop the we don't take requests BS! But I do agree that Movin is to narrowly focused but I have heard it on radios around the bay area so a few people are listening just not enough??? Or will we be surprised by the numbers it brings in? And when do the next ratings start rolling out?
 
I think it wouldint hurt 97.3, they should do it like the san diego jack, keep sara and no name and the rest jockless
 
please... NOT ANOTHER CLONE... we have 4 wannabe half ass stations already...who cares if someone comes in and is REALLY STRONG and gets a 2 share and knocks 1/2 share off everyone else... competing for 1/7th of a NOT HUGE 18/34 piece of the money pie.... you're right x-country... MAKES TOTAL SENSE...bring back TRUE BLUE CHR to the bay ... something HUGE like good ol' X-100 who couldn't get it done with some of the Greatest Jocks of their era. but what do all us radio old dudes know...there is nothing to gain from looking at history... NOTHING AT ALL!
 
They need a True CHR that plays like Fall Out Boy, Hinder, The Fray, Christina Aguleria, Fergie, Anna Nalick, Jason Mraz, Panic At The Disco, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc.
 
X-Country do you have ears or access to mediabase??? -- star 101 plays but 2 of the artists you mention. and kits/kyld plays one of the cast aways. and kits/kllc plays the other...

sounds like a massive hole... as i said in my previous post... makes total sense...bring it on - that's what the bay area really needs.
