Who Knew One of America's Coolest Sounding CHRs Would Be In...Hamilton, Montana

KXDR 98.7 Star FM, Hamilton (Montana) :

You gotta check out this playlist to believe it. This is a real station, obviously a youth-leaning one (and I don't mean Teen Pop) similar to the way MTV was in the 90s. The playlist actually resembles some of the fantasy playlists I've seen on this very board:

Not the avg radio model. Looks like a CHR college station I know. Very new music. Very unfamiliar. But then there are some older stiffs in there too. Probably cumes well, but TSL is down the toilet.<P ID="signature">______________

The biggest city in its coverage area is Missoula

Hamilton is a tiny town, and is too small to be a rated market. The population of the entire county its in is under 40,000 people!!
Still, accroding to radio-locator.com this is a 100,000 watts blowtorch that can easily be picked up in Missoula:

Missoula has a population of about 60,000 people, and the total population of Missoula county is around 100,000 people.


Accoring to Star's website they don't have a stream at this time, but it would be nice if they did

Interesting to see who owns this station: Usually with a playlist like that, it's some tiny local company that doesn't care about ratings. This time though, it's Fisher Communications, a group that owns big stations KOMO and Star 101.5 in Seattle!

I'd like to see a poor performing CHR in a bigger market make a splash into this CHR/Variety format, it might lead to other station jumping on board the hot new format. Does anyone know how long KXDR has been running this Jack-like, CHR format and what format they aired prior to this?
