That's true, all I listen to anymore in my car are CD's, music from my phone and some radio here in Ada, the station are a bit better here then in OKC, My co-worker used to listen to KOMA at work, but now he listen to GTO 107 out of Ardmore, the station is a lot better then KOMA.
I'm still getting the comedy station on 92.9..... This morning they were talking about the Dallas Cowboys defense. ;+)
The reason why they changed formats was the 24/7 comedy that they were using ended its run, other station across the country that use 24/7 comedy also flipped formats, so we wasn't the only ones.
Tyler has been simulcasting KOMA on 92.9 for a while now. Does anybody know whether that is permanent or do they have plans to launch a new station at that frequency?
It would be great to see something new there, though I am not holding my breath. Furthermore, KBRU continues to be one of the worst performing stations in the market ratings wise. As saturated as OKC is with classic rock stations, why doesn't ClearChannel try something new there?
I wonder how 96.9 FM is doing??
Does anybody here ever listen to KKWD Wild 104.9?
I keep giving them try after try and every once and a while it seems like they will have a few weeks where they sound better but under Cumulus' Jan Jeffries' programming its but a shell of its former self. I remember the station in its heyday as one of the best rhythmic Top 40 stations anywhere. Today, most of the songs they play are songs the rest of the world was hearing 2-3 years ago with way too much from the early 2000s for a modern Top 40. I don't know why they do "throwback thursdays" when it is a throwback station 24/7/365. They should just put the station to rest. My guess is that it has survived this long because it's the only station you can get over the air in OKC that kind of fills the urban contemporary niche, even though it doesn't do it very well.
Wild could be great if Cumulus would return control over the playlist to the local PD. Jan Jeffries is pretty committed to his formula however across all formats. It actually works well for AC and Hot AC stations but for Top 40 and especially a Rhythmic Top 40 like Wild is, the playlist needs to be a bit more cutting edge and less "safe." It would also help if the station was on a better signal. The station dominated when it was on the 97.9 frequency but never completely recovered after the move to 104.9, even prior to being Cumulized.
The Brew simply needs to flip. It's the weakest link in a crowded market.
If you were the PD at I heart radio, What format would you put on 94.7?? I would bring back alternative and make it sound like 102.1 the Edge out of DFW!!!
EDM please! House Music All Night Long!
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
I like EDM music also but I don't think full-time EDM on a terrestrial station would work in OKC. Usually those stations are found in alpha world cities that have a high gay population such as San Francisco or Toronto, and even then its a tough format. I think a Top 40/Rythmic station that was EDM at a certain time of day might work. I think KJ-103 spins EDM overnight Saturday into Sunday if I am not mistaking. Other than that, Sirius XM has a couple of great stations.
Dallas had one in the early 2000's.
