94.7's new format

[AAC2005]

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.

NEXT RANT: Phil, Stacy, Ron and "all that stuff...I don't know."

I find KCSC to be a fine music station. Best of all there are no commercials. I
absolutely refuse to listen or watch any commercial whatsoever. They could
do away with the BBC news but it's better than NPR. The late Saturday
afternoon and early evening programming is noxious. I can't stand it. The
exception is the guitar show. It's good.

I like orchestral music, some call it classical but that was a period of music.
Straight Ahead jazz is another favorite.

If I'm going to listen to rock then it's going to be KOMA fm or KRXO, and
that's not very often.

I noticed that the KOMA property on S.W. 134th street if for sale.

We have not had station change formats in almost two years. We will see what happens around Thanksgiving. It is almost about time for one or two stations to go Christmas and emerge as a new station on December 26th.

my morning drive is stressful enough with all the road ragers, and speed demons on wet roads today ... 94.7 has giggling porn stars in the studio!
all the sex talk and relationship advice ...
who likes this so early in the morning? I'm trying to enjoy my coffee make it to work alive!
I'm old all of a sudden.

Is Pandora HD radio?

Pandora is a web based radio that customizes the music based on what you rate as like or dislike. You start with a seed (a song or artist) and it expands from there. You can add multiple seeds to a single station to end up with some very esoteric channels.

The songs display title, artist, and album. If you like the song a lot you can buy it off of iTunes for later play on your iPod. I've found some very cool music like that. It's replaced normal radio for me at work and home and the music I like on Pandora gets purchased and goes on my iPod for the car.

Thanks! I just found it. I typed in Wayne Shorter and so far it's great!

No membership! Now if only it doesn't load spyware.

[tburn]

I haven't noticed an issue with spyware at home or work.
After 4 months or so, they will promt you to upgrade for a fee to avoid ad interruptions -- so far those have not been too frequent or disruptive to my listening pleausre.

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.

Ad-Block Plus takes care of just about every ad on the the Internet and it's
FREE! I haven't seen any on Pandora.

Sometimes the music is not the best. I like the majority of what's played.
The Saturday Opera is a favorite of mine. I just wish they'd change the
Saturday afternoon and early evening to something more palatable.

For the hour I've been listening to Pandora it's been great! I'll try listening to
some orchestral music in a while.

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.

[Lurker34]

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

[theparkman81]

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.

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.

Gag me please...

OKC radio just got even lower and more dreary.

[skyrick]

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

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...

[windowphobe]

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.

[drum4no1]

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

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

[fromdust]
