yeah, you can hear all your classic rock, but can't hear pop songs from the 60's, 70's. 80's and 90's without having to deal with music from today
That's for sure, nothing like KRTH (K-Earth) in LA. |

Has there ever been a market where there was 2 classic rock stations?
Modesto. Then KVFX @ 96.7 had Classic Rock from 1989 until 1997. In 1996, 104.1 The Hawk entered the picture. The Fox was a Class A 3000 watt station while The Hawk was a Class B 50000 watt station. A year later, The Fox bit the dust. |

I don't know exactly how heavily this skews, but I know lots of people in their 20's who enjoy music by The Who, Blue Oyster Cult, Led Zeppelin, Bob Seeger, & similar bands, even though they weren't even alive when these songs were recorded. But they don't care about The Supremes, Elton John or Captain & Tenille. Could it have to do with that all-important demographic group? Dave B. |

Mike But the old Modesto Fox @ 96.7 had an even better & bigger playlist than 104.1 The Hawk. |

I noticed that in the most recent arb book K-Fox tied with The Band in the SF Market, and that was with 98.5 only!

That's for sure, nothing like KRTH (K-Earth) in LA. KRTH is "classic hits" and not "classic rock." While stations can call themselves whatever they want on the air, the terms have very specific meanings in the radio sales and media buying communities. |

David, I know KRTH is a Classic "Hits" station, the point was that there are 3 Classic "Rock" stations and no Classic "Hits" stations playing the Pop Hits from the 60s and 70s without hearing it mixed with todays music in the Bay Area. |

Wouldn't be a bad move on Clear Channel's part - they could do very well financially in this 25-54 underserved demo. I just hope they will consider a different music delivery. I have a hard time listening to The Band for any extended period of time with all the data reduction in the music. Many titles sound like they are bad MP3's. For example, "Wish You Were Here" from Pink Floyd sounds like a balloon releasing air through various parts of the song. If they were to actually have live personalities (including a morning show team and regular news updates) with aggressive marketing and promotions, I could see them doing well. The KFOX calls are on a ethnic AM in Los Angeles, I think this will force The Band to go full on Classic Hits
