will kiss 98.7 ever stream?

I hope so, it's the last station in NYC from Emmis and CD 101.9 on HD2 who are not streaming yet. Kiss is a great station, I like to hear it. Maybe someone can setup an 'unofficial' stream with 98.7 Kiss on it by themself? I like to see the URL here.
 
As soon as someone can show how it is profitable Emmis will stream KISS. With the economy the way it is, if there is no profit in it, why do it.
 
This has nothing to do with bad economy because almost all Emmis stations desides to streaming there stations. It's better to stream to atract more listeners on other platforms these days.
 
It has everything to do with the economy and sales. With all the personnel cutbacks as well as the loss of revenue with lower sales numbers, why would a company willingly spend X about of dollars a month to stream if there is no return on the investment?
By the way, there are more listeners in 10 minutes on an over the air signal than there is in 24 hours of streaming.

KISS is good. I wouldn't call it great. I like the D.L. Hughley Morning Show and the Sunday Talks Shows like Open Line and the Week in Review.

What stops it from being great is the any-Urban AC-station-in-the-Mid Atlantic or Midwest playlist. They only borrow from the top of Billboard's Top Urban AC singles chart. They then throw in an old Anita Baker or Luther Vandross song from the 1980s to break it up a little. I like Shaila Simpson's Midday Show, but have to turn it off after I hear Keyshia Cole and Jamie Foxx for the 9,967th time. I listen to WHUR/Washington,DC (#2 in the DC PPMS this week) online while I'm at work. I have my co-workers listening to 'HUR online also. WHUR plays the Top 10 Urban AC songs (Charlie Wilson,Anthony Hamilton,etc) along with new songs making it's way up the Urban AC Charts and local Washington,DC artists.

KISS sounds pretty good overall. They just need a little help with the music.

Bullshit, your whole comment.
 
I'd also love to listen to their station if they stream.


It's sad that they don't stream yet



Yet, all the Urban Pirates/and Caribbean Hip Hop Pirate stations here in Boston (many of them) about ?? 3-6 of them they all stream online
 
Been checking out Boston's Pirate Urban AC Touch 106.1's stream (http://www.touchfm.org). They are pretty good. The station's Weekday Programming is better than stale WBLS/New York's Weekday Programming.

Touch 106.1 signal is not strong at all. The most strongest here is Big City 101.3 (Bigcityfm.com) Recomended to listen to on there is Junior Roddigan weekday late afternnons, as well as Wednesday nights at 10pm (New Music Lovers Rock Reggee music show) and Thursday nights 10pm Slow Jams mix show hosted by DJ Dex


Other than that, I still like to hear KISS 98.7 online
 
WRKS is the only major station in market #1 not streaming. In the PPM age, a major market station needs to be available on all platforms including office PCs and cellphones, the revenue excuse doesn't cut it in this case. The only other Emmis major market station that doesn't stream is KPWR, which also doesn't make sense.

Exactly.
 
That's a little player and is there a couple of months now. Maybe they are next.

The Kiss stream sounding out of phase yet.
