I read one of the radio boards, that a format change could be coming, CC(that's clear channel) has register 947thebrew.com, they have stations like that in Portland, Milwaukee and Omaha, it like a 80's classic rock station, I think that something OKC needs, to go after KRXO and BOB FM, but I wish that they did something different with it.

So now we will here the same 20-25 80's songs all day long...... GRREEEEAAAAT! I wonder if they will steal Zoobeck from the KATT.

They switched this morning. Don't know why they're splitting the same pie with KRXO, KOMA and Bob-FM:doh:

Well I just turn it on just now, its playing some good songs, I still think they should did something different with the 94.7 frequency.

I would really like to cast a few verbal/written grenades at 96.9 BOB FM, but I just don't know where to start...perhaps "Stop playing the same old OLD songs!" would be a good jumping off point.

Skynyrd, AC/DC, Ozzy Sabbath and Zeppelin are not the only bands putting out music, but you'd never know from the same box of records that BOB plays...

I try listening to JACK every once in a while, but since there's no back-announcing of songs and no one thinks to turn on the digital display thingy for the radio, they're somewhat frustrating as well.:fighting2

NEXT RANT: Phil, Stacy, Ron and "all that stuff...I don't know." They been getting by with playing the same music for 5 years or so someone must love hearing the same music over and over again.

S u c k s

Gag me please...

OKC radio just got even lower and more dreary.

As an expatriate Okie let me reccomend Listen Live | KXT 91.7 | Public Music Radio for Dallas Fort Worth Denton (http://kxt.org/listen/) a new station here in DFW. Very eclectic, covering all decades of the 20th & 21st centuries (to date).

Rick

It seems like every time I tune into KCSC, it's playing either obscure 20th century music by someone like John Adams (minimalism, blech) or some sort of baroque gigue.

I dig full orchestral scored stuff, especially early 20th century, but just don't like what they tend to play. You need to find out about Pandora.com.

Also, 105.7 has good jazz in the evenings.

John Adams: 2nd President of the USA
John Cage: 20th century composer who I believe you are thinking of.

Just have to throw that music education around once in awhile. I'm putting this in the notebook of "Midtowner was wrong."

As for 94.7, I was excited when it first appeared and was playing great stuff from the 90's. As time has rolled on, it has disappeared from my presets in the car. The KATT already had most of the stuff covered that 94.7 started playing. And 80's rock, seriously? Do we really need more of that?

I've given up on radio, and now listen to Pandora on my phone. I have the Will Smith station currently up. Gives a pretty good variety, surprisingly. Plus, who can't resist singing along to Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Not me.

Hahahaha this probably looks so confusing...I'm stuck using Mid's computer until he fixes mine and I forgot to log him out.

Guess that score in the notebook has been negated...

John Adams: 2nd President of the USA
John Cage: 20th century composer who I believe you are thinking of..

Then there's John Adams (1947- ), who won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize in Music for On the Transmigration of Souls, a choral work about the 9/11 attacks, and the highly-regarded opera Nixon in China, which is where I discovered Adams.

This is ridiculous. Screw you, Clear Channel, for messing up an awesome radio station.

I listened to Lex and Terry thats about it. The music was stale and repetitive

Hahahaha this probably looks so confusing...I'm stuck using Mid's computer until he fixes mine and I forgot to log him out.

hahaha. I was really trying to picture mid listening to an entire station of will smith too!

i just heard this today. it wont last. too many stations out there like it.....i'll stick with the satellite. 8 bucks a month and theres variety.

What blows my mind is that Clear Channel knows how to program good rock stations yet they always go the crap route in OKC. KMOD in Tulsa and KEGL have always been great.

If nothing else, they should simulcast KMOD in Oklahoma City. This would create a huge broadcast area.

They could also program 94.7 to local talk like WLW is in Cincinatti. WLW is all local guys and no syndication. They talk about everything under the sun not just politics.

douche chill from the article: "The format switch took place yesterday, "Brews-day," December 29th."

Yes, Mid showed me that at dinner...:doh: We didn't study him in undergrad....though my 20th century music history teacher was pretty abysmal so it shouldn't come as a shock.

Maybe that speaks to what most people here are wanting to listen to. Not much you can do if your neighbor's tastes are crap.

Looks like Clear Channel pulled one of their quick, stock stations out of their ass in an effort to alter their income statement. The Buzz won't work because it tells it's listeners that the music it plays is popular when, in reality, it is not at all. Hinder couldn't pack their own downtown venues last time around despite the Buzz flaunting their majesty along with countless other "artists" who turn down their mids and up their trebles, layering mid-nineties, post grunge vocals over some distorted attempt at pop music.

Time to put a backup station in place until a new market can be determined.

It's a good sign for real music. The masses aren't falling for it anymore.

Nah. I think Hinder is doing just fine. They didn't pack their show here because, well, we've frankly seen them a million times before they made it. Why would we pay that money to see them now? That's the biggest thing bands from here forget when they make it. We helped you get there, don't come home and be jerks. Be grateful. There are a few bands that get it. They come back into town and do surprise find me texts to friends and do a show in a small seedy club they started in. Those are the best. We'll pay once to see you in the Ford Center just because we know it's a goal...after that, forget it.
Unfortunately that crap sells. Why do you think so many bad concerts come through here? The zoo packs them in every year. Because the sheep love it.

so are we just jewed for the time being till a better rock station pops up? i need to hurry and get my carputer put back in. or blair my iphones tiny speaker

Nice antisemitism remark. But based on your excellent use of the English language and grammer, I am not surprised.

I am thoroughly disgusted with radio in OKC. A few years ago I could almost always find something current and good between 98.9 KISS, 94.7 Buzz, or 102.7 KJ103. Every now and then something good on 100.5 KATT. But then 98.9 started playing a plethora of older crap mixed in with the good stuff. Then The Buzz slowly went downhill. Now 94.7 is playing the same thing as 107.7, 96.9, and plenty of other stations. More 80's and 90's crap?!? Really??

It is REALLY sad when 102.7 is the best station in OKC for new songs.

102.7.... Seriously. Maybe on Sunday nights when they play the old school slow songs. That's about it. The rest is music for preteen girls.

If this keeps up...Maybe my mullet will be back in style.

Flippin' SWEET.

And this is exactly the reason I listen to satellite radio.

-Chris-

The format change is only in it's infancy and I already find it repetitive. I thought I was in hell earlier today. The KATT, 94.7 and KRXO were all playing the same song.

I predict another change or maybe even a snowball's chance move of KTOK to FM.

I was listening to it the other day, and yes even I got bored with it, I thinking it may not last, I still think that KTOK is going to end up with it and simulcast their programing on the station.

Doesn't make sense to move KTOK from AM to FM. At that point the AM becomes a dead stick. It's like taking the money from one pocket and putting it in another. KTOK-AM compared to other AM's is doing pretty good financially, however a successful FM format would make even more. It's all about the $$$$$. :bow:

True. I would love to see KTOK on FM.

The only reason the Sports Animal does so well here is because the music selection in this city is lousy. If you drive more than a couple of hours a day you are pulling your hair out because of the commericals or the repetition. I used to drive 8-10 hours a day for work. I was a home delivery driver for a now defunct retailer. After the first six months, I listened to nothing but, talk radio.

Not necessarily for the material just something to drown the silence because my bosses always scheduled the sleepy pothead kids as my helpers. All that mattered to me is that they were awake and moving when we stopped.

That is the big problem with terrestrial radio in all markets since most are owned by conglomerates that program the same thing all over. When I was commuting from Austin to Dallas between that and losing a signal and having to find the next one I just switched to Sirius. There are more programming options and if I am going to listen to something programmed from elsewhere, I might as well not have to find another station every 75 miles.

I love it!

Glad to finally have a better selection of good music! New music is crap. Old Rock music owns!

Got a question here? so since 94.7 The Buzz is gone,what happens to Lex and Terry in the Morning?

Got a question here? so since 94.7 The Buzz is gone,what happens to Lex and Terry in the Morning?

According to their discussion boards the show is gone from 94.7 with the old format.



KHBZ, "The Buzz" was flipped to a different formats, and the show removed for reasons not explained to us. We only were notified a day prior to the flip (while we were on vacation) and it came without any warning or expression of concern that the station was not performing to management's expectations.

Lex & Terry were the highest rated daypart, and sometime the show alone isn't enough to sustain a station.

We are going to look for other stations to move to, but I don't have a timeframe. You can also express your thoughts to the stations Operation Manager, Tom Travis (tomtravis@clearchannel.com (tomtravis@clearchannel.com)) and the General Manager, Bill Hurley (BillHurley@clearchannel.com (BillHurley@clearchannel.com)). I ask that you express your passion for the show in a polite manner as name calling and telling them how much you think they, 'suck' won't help the situation. It is important for them to know how you listened, used the advertisers on the show, and/or if you are a business owner yourself.


In the meantime there are several ways to continue to listen.


1) If you have an iPhone you can use our specific application, just search "lex & terry" in iTunes and you will find the app that allows you to listen to the whole show LIVE and then repeated throughout the day


2) If you have an iPhone, certain models of Blackberrys and a phone with the Android operating system you can use the "I Heart Radio" app (www.iheartradio.com (http://www.iheartradio.com/)). Now you can hear the first four hours live via the Dallas (KEGL) and Orlando (WJRR) stations, and the whole show in delay on our channel found under "personalities"... I know this is confusing, but its another one of those great Clear Channel decisions I can't rightly explain.


3) The free podcast. Just go to the nav bar of our site and under "audio", click on "podcast"... There you will find each day's entire show and you can even add it to your iTunes (follow the instructions) and it will automatically download them for you. You can listen to these without iTunes as well and on ANY MP3 compatible player


4)The web: You can also listen and watch the full show each day at lexandterry.com
you can watch the show live via our UStream broadcast, live and repeated
you can listen to the show live and repeated on our audio only stream (look under "audio")


We will work to get the show back on, and we really appreciate your support of the show. We are terribly sorry about this as the people that are effected the most are you, our loyal listeners.


Happy New Year

I'm glad somebody else doesn't mind it.

I like it. The music anyway. I can't STAND people talking on my radio. Sports, stories, news, commercials, etc....If it's not music, I change the channel.

Probably why I primarily listen to CD's/MP3's.:tiphat:

105.3 The Spys is back.... Better than the Buzz ever was...

According to their discussion boards the show is gone from 94.7 with the old format.

I am happy Lex and Terry are gone, they suck, they claim they were highest rated show in Oklahoma City, that is a bunch of you know what!, I just didn't like them, but that's just my opinion.

Syndicated morning shows have never lasted long in Oklahoma City. The local shows last forever. I think it is mainly because people enjoy listening to local discussion on politics, entertainment and gossip. Not to mention the local guys do a half way descent balance to music and talk. How else do you explain Jack and Ron being around as long as they have?

I never really cared for Lex and Terry because the show was idle chatter, listener therapy with a few comedy bits thrown in. The worst show I heard is when they were kissing the ass of the Dallas Cowboy players who started their own band. Then top it off the song was terrible. I have heard better music played by house bands around OKC.

imo, there aren't any good local morning shows here. Rick and Brad suck. Jack and Ron suck and are too political. Joey and Heather would be tolerable if they weren't on a station that played such craptastic "music." TJ and Janet are drama queens...but J-rod is pretty cool.

Two easy, painless solutions----I-POD and Sirius Radio

i have found out the hard way that XM/Sirius has horrible customer service and their business practices are criminal. I POD, on the other hand is the way to go. Of course if you just want to listen to good music in the mornings, on a local station, there is the SPY.

^^^ Two words for you!-ASS MASTERS!!!!!

I will give 94.7 some credit. They are adding to their playlist. I listen to it when I forget and leave the IPOD at house. They are playing a lot the stuff I like. Some of it is the stuff that Zoobeck plays on his Sunday morning show. It makes me wonder if they are going still Zoobeck from the KATT.

I like Zoobeck because he plays good music and not the manufactured sissy band crap. Not to mention, I grew up listening to Zoobeck at night in the 80's and 90's. It is almost like they are becoming what the Katt used to be back in the 80s and 90's. Back then my radio never left the Katt.

The thing that bugs me about 94.7 is that they don't play what I consider to be the "correct" version of a lot of songs. Example:
"Sweet Child of Mine" is the short version with the full guitar solo cut out.
"Here I Go Again" is the remaster or remake and not the original.

These things bug the heck out of me.

These things bug the heck out of me.

Most stations aren't going to play the long versions simply due to time constraints (see: commercials). I'd love to hear full versions of Meatloaf songs on the air...But I guess that's why I have a stereo that takes a USB jump drive with 16gb of my favorites on it.:tiphat:

Blame the music industry, the RIAA and large conglomerates for the demise of "local radio."

If you want real choices, create an account on www.reciva.com and buy a internet WiFi radio. It is a radio that plays online radio streams from out of market radio stations. WiFi Radio (http://www.sangean.com/first/first.asp)

My problem with 94.7 is they say this is not you dads rock, meaning that they don't play old 107.7 rock, yet they still play old rock. And I like U2 a lot, but dang, they always have U2 on.
