WHAT DO YOU THINK OF KWBF STREETS 101.1?

[mcbrideatl]

Streets 101.1 is on the air. It's just that radio-locator.com takes so long to update their website, you would think that it is off the air. The station's format is Urban Contemporary, aka Hip-Hop and R&B. The station has had this format for a few months now, though the company that owns them, Flinn Broadcasting, hasn't created a website for them yet, they invest most of their time in KXHT Hot 107.1 in Memphis. 101.1's Wikipedia page was updated around the same time KHTE 96.5 changed formats.

drove through LR twice this weekend and the 101.1 signal is terrible. I remember it being much better in the past.

[mcbrideatl]

KWBF-FM just changed their call sign to KZTS.

KZTS has a construction permit for a power decrease to 900 watts but a tower height raise to more than double it currently is.

From comparison of the two coverage maps, KZTS will now cover the city and close metro area better, but the suburbs worse.

New COL is Cammack Village

They may be operating under the construction permit and thats why the signal seemed worse then before?

Thoughts anyone?

[Scholar Brad]

where is the tower located?

[mcbrideatl]

If I'm not mistaken the tower is in North Little Rock. The tower should move to Little Rock soon, if it hasn't already.

There were located in North Little Rock by are to the NW operating at low power currently and will soon move farther out but back at comparable power to their original licensed site.

In NLR they were 6kw @ 300ft
currently they have 500 watts at just over 300ft
Their new home will be 900 watts @ just under 900ft ( this is the same as 6kw @ 300 ft though they may not be able to penetrate buildings as well)

you can see maps of the tower sites on the FCC site:

So is there even a logo for Streets 101? All Flinn's site shows is the old logo. This station never had a website as far as I know even at the old format.

[mcbrideatl]

To my knowledge, Streets 101.1 doesn't have a logo or its own website. However on Flinn's website, they did put up the call letter change, and called the format Rhythmic CHR. Though if you listen to the station, you'll know the format is more Urban Contemporary than Rhythmic CHR, which is fine by me.

Streets 101.1 is no longer commercial-free. Over the past week, the station has been airing commercials for a T-Mobile store in Little Rock, as well as commercials for a few Christmas and New Year's parties at a couple of clubs in the area. I don't remember all of the clubs, but I do know that one of them is Club Hollywood on Asher Ave. They have also updated the playlist, still no on-air personalities, but all of this is a step up from where they have been.
