Just saw a post on allaccess that Toucher and Rich who tried out on Free FM last month may be headed to Free FM so that would fill the local void. Would be nice to have a regular show from 11-2am at least for now.

Not So !
From Toucher's web site today :
"...Rich, Crash and I are fielding job offers and are flying to a city on Sunday to meet with station brass. The good news is it is a lot closer to Kevin (Smith's) home in Red Bank, NJ! So he won't have to travel far to promote the straight to dvd realease of Clerks 2 and whatever toys he is ripping off his fans with."

If Mr. Kelly is doing any work at Bonneville/Phoenix, it must be as the "stealth" programmer of The Peak's '80s HD2 channel (whose playlist seems to have some influence from XM's '80s channel)!

KTAR would be foolish not to grab a guy as talented as Bruce Kelly. Free FM is an implosion waiting to happen.
Is Bruce sober these days? Could his history be a problem?
I loved him on KZZP and Y-95... I think it would be great to hear him on the air in Phoenix.
If KTAR grabs him, they would certainly benefit in the area of ratings.

Hey Eric...
Thats pretty cool you actually have an HD radio...I think we're nearing double digits for Phoenix market saturation with the HD radios...and you might be the only one I don't personally know.
I gotta tell you...I have never actually heard XM 80's (or sirius for that matter)...maybe they're beaming it into my head with that satellite business, I gotta start wearing my tin foil hat again.
We'll start streaming the 80's HD-2(at 128k mind you) soon, maybe next week. We had to order more of that black electricians tape to get the wires to stay together.
BTW the big daddy Peak started streaming @128k yesterday.

Could the other nine HD owners in the Phoenix area be the studios of Bonneville and Clear Channel, as well as the Peak contest winners from early February (when your station was giving away the Boston Recepter HD radios)? I ordered the Boston unit from Crutchfield the day they dropped to $299. However, I visited an Ultimate Electronics a couple weeks ago, I saw that they finally had a Panasonic car model with a built-in HD tuner, but all other stores (Best Buy, Circuit City, Showcase/Tweeter, and even Jerry's) either have no HD receivers or car units which are only HD-ready (Showcase/Tweeter now may have them, but I haven't been there for a while).

...or contacting Bruce Kelly through telepathy! Being a Sirius subscriber as well, I can tell you your playlist (as well as XM's) is larger than Sirius' '80s channel.

I'm looking forward to the online stream of the HD2. By the way, what's taking the other FM chains such as Clear Channel and CBS so long to bring their facilities HD in Phoenix? They must be short on space in their transmitter shacks up on South Mountain. I've sent my suggestions to The Edge for their new deep-pocketed ownership to invest in HD transmission equipment, but they've ignored my messages (are they afraid of 0's and 1's or just don't see the purpose in doing so?).

Jeez...my apologies to Ted, the most recent card-key holder/musicologist not on The Peak...
Jammin' Joel has already yanked a coupla shifts....likes to fly low...I'll bust out a post next time he fires up the pipes...he's got new yellow foamies for his Sennheiser cans...watch out!...all opposing jocks will be dirt when this presses "on".

All the B-ville department noggins get a BA Recepter for their offices...I ordered mine painlessly thru CCrane for home use...love it. I had no idea a local retailer was actually stocking an HD unit of any kind.

..can't speak for the other chains...space shouldn't be an issue...our site is not huge by any means at all and we still host KKFR (you have to actually lay on the floor if you want to tweak the Peaks analog Omnia). The HD Xmtr is relatively small....its the dummy load that eats space....we have ours suspended from the ceiling.
CC and CBS are in the alliance so I'm sure they'll step up at some point. That's what I like about B-ville's 'tude about this....we have the biggest engine with the best paint job and shiniest chrome.

While it's a necessity and not a perk for
Joel and the CE, what the heck do the GM,
sales types, etc. need it for other than
as a "trophy"? They're a bunch of bean
counters.
At least the full-time jocks should have
received one for home use.
Or would you rather "de-Peak" when you
go home?
BTW, say hi to Chip, Ernie and Uncle Charley.

They ordered them right off the line...and counting beans is much more pleasant in HD...especially when you pay the original $500 list...doh!

THAT would be awesome to hear Bruce Kelly with Valentino again. BTW....AZRADIOCHICK, why in the world would you post something so demeaning like, 'Is he sober?' That my friend is just down right degrading and you should be ashamed of yourself! His BEST radio was the DISNEY trip when he showed "Mickey" his 'Mini". I WAS working for that station at the time in a different department and he and Lou Valentino treated me like gold, unlike some other EGO-MANIAC drivin morning shows I've worked with. I know Bruce reads this board and hopefully he'll give his usual great responce(s)on all this. I hope you come back to the Valley real soon Brucie...ALL these 'rumors' are driving us bonkers! Sgt
