Movin' Spots
Simmons Media's KYMV "Movin' 100.7" has slowly began to add commercials into it's line-up. They began Saturday, with one commercial per forty-two minutes of music. They were up to about three commercials per break as of Monday night, probably with a few more to come. There is a good chance that "Movin' 100.7" is setting the example for "the Oasis," which is only about a week behind it's sister station.

Simmons Launches 'Oasis,' KSL Adds Local 'Nightside'
7:30 AM - It sounds like the folks at Simmons Media were busy while we were asleep last night. The station just ran a sweeper that read "You're hearing the positive news sound of 97.5 The Oasis." (7:39 AM). It sounds like a Christian Contemporary format to me. The web site for the Oasis [ 975oasis.com ] is up. They just ran another sweeper promising "no off-color humor." They need to make sure the X96 sweepers and Oasis sweepers don't get mixed up on the station computer hard drives!
Also new to me this morning, is a new night program "KSL Nightside" at 1160 AM and 102.7 FM - thanks the the users of the SaltLakeRadio.com forum. I have no idea how long this program has been on the air but it looks like KSL has gone to pretty great lengths to bring local programming back to Salt Lake City nights. It's a variety/news program weeknights that has a pretty large staff: three hosts and six reporters. There are segments of the show can be heard at the Nightside website found on-line at [ nightside.ksl.com ]. Check it out, it sounds like a breath of fresh air to me. It airs weeknights from 7 PM to midnight.

Simmons Launches 'Movin'
10:30 PM - What no sweepers? I am going to be pretty sad if this was all a joke to get us. Either that or they are just a bit behind and haven't made the sweepers yet.
10:00 PM - I'm Movin'! I just finished up listening to "Men in Black," by Will Smith which just rolled into "Tainted Love." The new station seems to be directed toward women mostly, but if you are like me and like a beat, then you'll probably like the station. Now, we need to make sure that this isn't just a joke. I'd personally be really disappointed if they dropped it for a Smooth Jazz format or something - (okay, so you guys at Simmons, don't mess around and actually do that, okay?)
6:30 PM - I received an e-mail today informing me that my order of Macromedia Dreamweaver was returned to the online software store. Apparently it had gotten stuck in some parcel sorting equipment and been crushed into four pieces. Sadly, this means, I am reduced to Frontpage Express to do some well-needed updating of this site. You can certainly see the quality engulfing you!
Rumors are flying of the [ Utah Radio Forum ] ... which, of course is nothing new. Speculations is calling for Simmons Media's newest FM station: KEGH (FM-100.7) to sign on the air within the next twenty four hours. The Utah County booster signal was flipped on today, which let me jam out to a sweeper informing me that the "Eagle has moved to 106.9 FM," on my drive to work this afternoon.
As for the format of KEGH, nothing concrete has come from the message board. It sounds like it may be a Rhythmic AC format "Movin' 100.7," modeled after the new "Movin' 92.5" in Seattle and Las Vegas - as well as Rick Dees' new comeback station"Movin' 93.9" in Los Angeles. Simmons media has purchased the domain name www.movin1007.com ... which could either mean we found an inside scoop ... or they're having some $9.00 entertainment at our expense.
