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.
