Re: KZHT Reformat on HD2 Channel

2008-03-18T17:29:07Z

Hmmm ... maybe I should get an HD radio finally.

KZHT Reformat on HD2 Channel

2008-03-13T09:19:29Z

No longer an Indie Rocker now it is The Old School Channel playing 80's rap and dance.

Re: Disappointed in Utah's HD2 Channels

2008-02-18T13:42:47Z

That's why I haven't purchased an HD radio yet. Once I hear they have a dance format on HD2, I'll buy one.

Disappointed in Utah's HD2 Channels

2008-02-17T17:30:41Z

I come to SLC a couple times a month and like to play around on the dial seeing how we can improve our little AM station in South Tahoe, Well I was happy when I was given a HD ZOOM radio from a vendor and was really happy when I drove to The Bay area there HD2 channels really have a variety, Classic Alternative and on The Jack station there HD2 channel is Jack-Dance (really cool) and so on well when I came to Salt Lake thinking that 99.5 HD2 was classic altenative i found it to be a SOFT ROCK station so I thought maybe Clear Channel put the Classic Alt on 106.5 HD2 welllll no it's also a SOFT ROCK format so i tried 105.7's HD2 channel well it's a River Variety Channel and 90% Soft Rock Well ok then I remembered 94.1 was suppose to be an all 80's HD2 channel Nope! It's a Real Oldies Channel sounding like 1060 am...What a waste if you plan on buying a HD Radio for the side bands in Utah right now it's a waste unless ypu really like SOFT ROCK??? But I will admitI like the sound of the AM HD Radio stations makes them much cleaner and clear FM Sounding to me much better then the old AM Stereo which I had in many cars way back then.....

I have to say WOW! to KQMB 96.7 and KTCE 92.1 in Utah County what great stations of course I'm an 80's music child and they have it covered. Hey Salt Lake what's up? you're missing the boat!! This is the direction B98.7 should go instead of just a few weekends a year with the 80's....

Re: KRCL

2008-02-09T21:16:19Z

If they want to be different they should listen to BBC1 and the way they format. I listen to them on Sirius and I'm really impressed with them. What a fun station and the DJ's are really good. I like the programming on the weekends Friday and Sat nights really rock....

Re: KRCL

2008-02-05T11:54:05Z

Think they will lose some existing underwriters? What will be the result when they `sing for their supper' before the listeners?

Re: KODJ Change?

2008-02-03T21:40:39Z

It really started evolving - even before Dickie and Angel were shown the door. I think Clear Channel was giving up on oldies - but that was before CBS-FM came back, and the Oldies in Philly did really well with PPM.

The music selection is excellent - but the Nexgen delivery is old and tiring. I never cared for the station voice either - I think he also does FOX network's promos.

Re: Save this board

What blows me away is the Idaho Radio News site, SLC has more stations and when I ran Utah Radio News it was hard to find a story but IRN has something everyday

Re: The State of Radio in Utah

2008-02-03T04:07:54Z

This is easy KILL A COUNTRY STATION and start a full time 80's station much needed and would be different. From the old new wave to hairbands to 80's pop now that I think would work something like KTCE in Provo I like that station when I visit family and like the 80's stations on XM and Sirius

Well I guess SLC does have a full time 80's station on HD2 KODJ and a full time Classic New Wave station on HD2 also KJMY well you need a HD radio to listen but at least you have them

KODJ Change?

2008-02-03T03:58:36Z

No longer Super hits of the 60's and 70's but now known as Utah's Fun Station Huh?.....When I was in SLC lastweek I noticed the change they were playing Huey Lewis and Bon Jovi then played a couple 60's song then back to Cher kinda like a Jack FM now huh....also website has changed to show the new KODJ www.kodj.com

Re: KRCL

2008-02-01T22:29:48Z

I don't see the number of listeners being a big deal - so long as they continue to get underwriting. Personally, if they flipped to a dance format, I'd set a preset.

2008-02-01T19:17:21Z

Here is a link to the Salt Blog entry We want to be different. Just like everyone else.

Good move or bad number of listeners wise?

Re: Save this board

2008-01-30T10:15:59Z

This will take some time. Still, I apologize for my inattention to this site. Posting links to other sites will also help this to be found easier. arbs
more arbs If these were on the main page it would be better. If you can get other high traffic sites to reciprocate by linking to this site, better still.

Frankly I have been doing much of my listening online to out of state stations, and Sirius Satellite Radio when out and about. The depth of the playlists and formats available make it hard to go back to terrestrial broadcasts.

So... get busy and whore it out on any forum or blog you can.

The State of Radio in Utah

What are you thoughts on the state of radio in Utah. What should be changed, could be improved, overhawled? Who should be reelected/impeached?

2008-01-28T19:10:02Z

Well, I suppose it was a bad idea to create this board. We've seen little interaction and posts are few and far between. Please post your messages, thoughts, anything to help make this the PLACE for Utah radio news.

Thank you.

Well she could always go back to selling mattresses on television. She was always pretty good at that. Don't ever make the mistake of calling her a DJ, she's a news woman.

Re: So Millcreek is selling all it's stations in SLC?

2008-01-05T22:06:31Z

Ah man! Millcreek is one of the better groups in town.

Oh well.

Re: So Millcreek is selling all it's stations in SLC?

2008-01-05T14:20:29Z

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes....

This is what I was saying all along on the "other board." Milcreek is selling of their stations. I know Simmons and Clear Channel have both put in bids for the blaze, and I believe Citadel is promised U92 due to prior debts Millcreek owes them.

Re: So Millcreek is selling all it's stations in SLC?

363

Main Stages In a Section 363 Sale

• Agree conditional sale agreement between debtor and stalking
horse

• Sale procedures hearing (including approval of stalking horse bid
protections)

• 20 day notice period (generally) for overbids and possible auction

• Sale approval hearing

• Completion once conditions satisfied (eg regulatory approval)

The process requires the assets be widely advertised during the bidding process. Anybody seeing anything?

Had to shovel three inches this morning.

So Millcreek is selling all it's stations in SLC?

2008-01-05T01:30:45Z

I came across this from the Lawyers that are taking this case for Millcreek Broadcasting...Jenner & Block LLP

Millcreek Broadcasting, LLC (Salt Lake City, UT) Represent the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases of Millcreek Broadcasting, LLC, 3 Point Media - Utah, LLC, 3 Point Media - Franklin, LLC and 3 Point Media - Delta, LLC. The Chapter 11 debtors hold certain FCC radio licenses in the Salt Lake City market and are seeking to sell substantially all of their assets through a section 363 sale process.

Now that I did not know?

Re: Oasis

Nothing is gonna happen until after the new owners take over CC.

Re: Oasis

2008-01-04T15:41:51Z

No Peggy, No Dain---- Why not reunite the two on KOSY and make a hard run at FM100. I think that KOSY's time has come to make or break as far as competing with FM100. They'll never get closer than they are if they don't make a move.

Thoughts?

On the other front, it has to be a relief for Simmons. I think they saw the potential, but I would find it hard to believe if they were turning a profit. A close friend who works their estimated that Simmons had already lost over $500K on the Oasis. . .

Eagle

2008-01-04T15:34:08Z

Lot of changes this year in radio! Most recently, Peggy Igems has been let go from the Eagle for "budgetary reasons"... seems Simmons has had a lot of budget problems the last year.

Where will she land? How about a new morning show with Peggy and Mister?

KOSY went after the Stubbs and Peggy duo soon after their new PD started, but the two were contractually unable to leave Simmons. Interesting Igems should be released not soon after, Just months after Eagle PD Cody Alan took over....

Bottom line... too many country stations that sound exactly the same anyway.

Where do you think Igems will land?

Re: Oasis

2008-01-01T21:23:44Z

Hmm. Very interesting. I don't know how much equity Millcreek has. If they do - they could sell off KOAY, and maybe it'd be enough to bring them into the clear for a while.

I wonder on Simmons' end if this is a sigh of relief or not. It could be that KOAY was turning a profit, which is sort of a bummer for the folks over on 7th East. But since it wasn't showing up (at least 12+) it may have been a nice way to give up on the format.

How long do y'all think it'll be dead (no signal)? Until the next owner? It's too bad they can't hook up an iPod with some odd format (dance, polka, free-form jazz). But I'm sure that's not gonna happen since there's ASCAP and BMI stuff.

Oasis

2008-01-01T17:44:19Z

Not to ecco the other board, but what sprung the birth of this board has begun to be brought to a reality. 97.5 The Oasis went off air at midnight last night.

From www.975oasis.com "Simmons Media regrets that our lease with the company that owns KOAY, Millcreek Broadcasting who is in bankruptcy, was terminated by a court on their behalf. Thanks for your previous support and listening to 97.5 The Oasis."

So, the courts are determining, along with lenders, where Milcreek's properties will go. Mine was not an attempt to bash on Milcreek (for which threads were locked), solely to inform.

Crappy websites

2007-12-26T11:05:14Z

What's with all of the Citadel stations websites? They are horrible! They are going for a "Clear Channel" form type site, but whomever they got to design them really is horrible. They are disjointed, full of banner ads, and lack content. Exhibit A: The End @ www.1019theend.com. Exhibit B: KBER at www.kber.com. Exhibit C: B98.7 @ www.b987.com. My eye just doesn't know where to look. On the other hand, the Bull's is much better. Why the difference? Different Webmasters?

Milcreeks websites are far superior, though at times un-profesional. I dislike Clear Channels, as they are all the same! Boring. They don't give any personality to the website that reflects the format/market. Simmons does a good job as well. Bonneville's are decent, though cluttered as well. The arrow's looks as if it is a number of continuous banner ads and your eye doesn't know where they want you to look.

Best website: KSL.com

Best Music website: X96.com

Worst: The above mentioned

Your thoughts?

They had "Santa" on Doug Wright today, and took calls from a whole bunch of kids (about 4-5 yrs old). I though that was really classy.

Re: Good luck. Watch out for slander.

Hey, I was just looking at your site at http://www.utradioguide.com/, and noticed a few things missing. 94.9 The Blaze (www.theblazeonline.com), 97.5 The Oasis (www.975oasis.com), My 99.5 (www.my995fm.com), 101.5 The Eagle (www.1015theeagle.com), 103.1 JACK fm (www.1031jack.com), My Country 105.7, 107.5 Country Legends, and 107.9 The Mix.

Did I leave any others out? On the AM- KNRS 570, 1280 The Zone.

Mind you, this is what's missing on the front page. I noticed you have them on the inside pages.
