new country station in okc?

[radioforelife]

I heard a rumor that a new country station will be signing on after Christmas. Does anyone know if there is truth to this.  I hope not because we already have too many country stations. 

[Watercooler]

Ok if that was the case lets list out the stations who might would flip.

KKWD back to KBull?
KQOB-Back to The Bull?
KHBZ-back to KEBC?
KZLS-to sign on as country?  (I heard AC on this one)
KOMA- to Renda's Gator Country format? 
KOKC- to classic country? 

[OKCRadioGuy]

Ughh.. Another country station?  MAYBE red-dirt on 105.3 or this new thing might make some sense or classic country on 1520 or 930.  Otherwise I just can't see another country in this market. (much more stupid things have happened in this market though!)

My guess is it would be Citidel trying to knock down Twisters numbers with a new country format.

[radioforelife]

I was hearing that the station would be on a new frequency.

Probably KZLS, though putting classic country on 930 or 1520 would be nice.

My guess is it would be Citidel trying to knock down Twisters numbers with a new country format.

Citadel tried that with The Bull years ago and failed, why would they want to pick up Country again? My guess would be 99.7 that's going to move into OKC or on the AM side with either 930 or 1520, the last thing OKC is another Country station....UGH

Hey OKC-
  Youre right man, I can't see another country station anywhere in Oklahoma much less OKC!  For cryin' out loud gang, play something progressively outside the paradig-um!!!  Not everybody in Oklahoma is a goatroper, with all due respect to my goatroping friends.  Country has it's place but man we just seemed to be saturated with the country format.  I mean we can't all sell Chevy's.  I'm probably reacting more from a 'burned out' standpoint rather than from a business standpoint, but to be fair, if all the audience is exposed to is country then that's all they're going to listen to.  Does any of this make sense?  This damned shingle medicine may have scewed my perception of the galaxy.

I agree that OKC and Oklahoma in general has far too many country stations.  I would like to see a diversity in formats in this area.  As a question, what format would any of you like to see in Oklahoma?

[Bob Oshea]

Format alternatives could include a really good Blues format, a great Jazz station or a really well done 80's station.  Who ever does one of the above will have to totally commit.  Bad economy will determine what formats surface.  Economics has to come into play.
