UPDATE: Fall Roundup
Here's an update of what's going on at most of the stations along the Wasatch Front: KUUU 92.1 - Plans are still in the works of the local CHR/Rythmic outlet to move to 92.3 next summer. This will allow for greater power to the north. KODJ 94.1 - Utah's only FM oldies station keeps changing names. It has recently been "94.1 KODJ," then returned to "Oldies 94.1," and now uses both at various times. It will be interesting to see which one Clear Channel decides to stick with. KZHT 94.9 - Has a new midday talent, "Corina," and apparently has plans to update it's imaging and jingles in January. KISN 97.1 - As reported earlier has returned to it's Hot AC roots. Although it still plays quite a bit of eighties, it isn't as oriented to the decade as it was a year ago. A second voice-over talent has joined, tweaking the atmosphere a bit. KBEE 98.7 - Is repeating it's early 2002 "Dollar Bill Game." KSFI 100.3 - FM 100 is already running spots advertising their Christmas music, "coming soon," along with their "FM 100 Christmas Volume Two CD." KWKD 102.3 - Is now running a large bus billboard campaign boasting "Mad Dog 102.3." It seems similar to "The Blaze" campaign of earlier this year. KQMB 102.7 - Fisher and Laura dissapoint listeners yesterday when they announce that Creed has postponed his concert. There morning seems to lose focus. KJQN 103.1 (100.7) - Is tweaking toward the AAA format. The music is beginning to sound like the old "105.7 The Mountain." KMDG 103.9 - Is still a simulcast of "Power 107.9." It appears to be a semi-permanate decision by Millcreek Media. The call letters still haven't changed. KSOP 104.3 - Country Joe adds the "10 second gripe." Listeners call in and can say almost everything they want for exactly ten seconds. KMXI 105.1 - Seems ready to come online soon. "Dspete"'s UtahRadioNews.com says it could be on as early as Christmas. KOSY 106.5 (106.9) - Contest: "KOSY Kash Machine." In other words, the Clear Channel nation-wide money give away: See "Clebrity Cash Calls," or "KISN Cash Cow." KSL 1160 - Don Shafer, host on Saturday and Sunday mornings has vanished. KSOP 1370 - Voicetracking at least brings a bit of life to the "Gold Country" station. Country Joe voicetracks mornings for 1370 AM by announcing songs, along with other KSOP-FM personalities. The station hopes to appear in the next book. KLO 1430 - Has done a bit of transmitter work, so their signal should be a bit better than it was before.
