KISS in Cleveland just got a snazzy new website, by the way

Pretty slick

I completely agree. In addition to having a monster signal that can be heard from Fort Walton Beach all the way to New Orleans on a good day, WABB's variety, imaging, contests, jocks, and presentation are all top-notch. The station really sounds like a CHR station of the glory days, when the lowest possible budget was not ownership's top priority. It's just too bad that they don't stream online!

Best CHR regardless of market size is WABB, Mobile. Bernie Dittman is a genius. Has he been "enshrined" by the NAB as a Marconi winner, yet? If not, we should launch a damn campaign.

Their website looks like the website of every other Clear Channel CHR station in the country. So cookie cutter. I can spot one the second it loads. Plus, the music is cookie cutter and even the station name is cookie cutter. Do you know how many "Kiss" stations CC has across the country?

Of course the worst cookie cutter website award goes to Cox. The absolute most boring websites on the net. Heck, they make Microsoft's website look exciting!

106.9 K-Hits - Tulsa

They put the L in LAME! The Cox radio websites could be so much more interactive and special. Websites are meant to be creative, you know?

1- Kiss FM (WKGS)/Rochester ;D

You're kidding right? I don't even think this station should be classified as CHR. Arbitron had it as a CHR/Rhythmic for a long time and they're repeat is extreme.



as for Cox's websites, I agree they stink. But hey at least they all stream and offer song title info.

I recently announced to change #2 and #1. And even then, how much Rhythmic a CHR plays does not classify as how good or bad it is. I actually find liking my market's CHR (KRQQ) topping the rhythmic (KOHT), and in some cities I like their Hot AC more than anything (Phoenix is an obvious choice with Mix, then again I like Kiss), and in some cities I prefer their rhythmic (Chicago, WKSC sounds like junk, at least WBBM has an interesting playlist). And only for the music they play. If they don't play the songs I like, I won't listen, simple as that, and that's what my top 10 is based on. (remember, I never mentioned anything about genre-balance, if that were the case half of those wouldn't be on there) Since WKGS and WJJS both play a ton of rhythmic, I'm probably craving mostly rhythmic songs right now (which is true since the rock on the charts right now is Hinder/Nickelback junk I can't tolerate), or they're playing the rhythmic songs I like.

I'd agree with this...
