As hard as it is for me to say this, I'm going to. As bad as the PD has messed this station up and with PPM not showing love to hip hop, I would like to hear 97.9 flip to a young urban ac like "My 92.7" in Charlotte, and let 94.5 go urban gospel. Let K104 handle the hip hop. I hate to see people lose their jobs, but The Beat is not the innovator it started off as back in 2000... Thanks Mr. Candy...
 
94.5 FM as a Urban Gospel in Dallas could get in the 2.0's. There is money in them thar hills if either Kathy & Alfred wake up or if someone with radio savvy would buy them.
 
I know many people who would love to hear a "Praise 94.5" around here.
 
I would like to hear Heaven 97.9. Radio One should have bought KHVN and made KHVN 97.9 for the 18-49 demo and KHVN 970 for the 35-54 demo. The ministries could have also aired on 970 am.
 
If they are not going to get rid of that PD, just go ahead and put 97.9 out of its misery.

Radio One's KROI in Houston has been a reasonable success with Urban Gospel on a C1 equivalent signal. Surprised the format hasn't made its way to FM in DFW.
 
It seems like this is the only market that Radio One hasn't tried that format. You would think they would since this is the south.
 
So my question is, what's holding Radio One up here in this market from trying it?

Its not a full signal Black gospel station. That is the translator for KGGR 1040 am. Plus they still have the ministries on. We are looking for a 24/7/365 all music Class C station with a 100k stick.

I think the issue is the audience of gospel is, not all, but majority over 50. Kind of like smooth jazz, 50s/60s oldies, classical...the audience is "too old" to be attractive to advertisers. Per the other thread, KSOC was #11 25-54; it would likely not have that flipping to gospel. So, it would seem unlikely Radio One would flip it to something that would generate less numbers.

Radio One did it Houston since it has 3 FMs to play with. Plus, the one it flipped to gospel (KROI) had a Spanish-language format that had terrible ratings.

I was thinking about this a few days ago, with the PPM's out which of the 3 Urban stations would survive 97.9 The Beat, 94.5 K-Soul or KRNB. I didn't mention K-104 because we all know they won't change their Urban format as long as Hyman owns it. If 97.9 made the move to Urban AC from Hip Hop this would be the first Urban AC station in DFW on a full 100kw signal since the old V-100 was on the air years ago.
 
X, Not just an urban ac, a young urban ac. Check out Radio One's "My 92.7" in Charlotte. I would like to hear something like that.

As much as I hate to say it, 97.9 offers competition to K104. I think competition is good!!!!!

Something I noticed - K104 is hip-hop for white kids. 97.9 is real hip-hop. I hope that doesn't sound racist because that wasn't the intent.
