SMOOTH JAZZ IN NYC CD101.9 BEING REPLACED! DOES ANYONE WANT MORE INFO?

If so:

Sorry to be a dispatcher of bad news. We got a lot of questions when Dallas & Seattle swapped, so we suspicion I’d give we a low-down here first, as we know we’ll in a future get a couple of questions about this.

It has only been anounced which Emmis Broadcasting, a owners of WQCD, have switched a 20-year Smooth Jazz CD 101.9 to an Adult Rock Format "101.9 RXP" as of 4PM Today (Tue 2/5/08).

The Smooth Jazz format will go upon to be aired upon HD, yet you’ll need a latest HD air wave to get it.

This partial is unofficial, yet we think a reason will be ratings as well as income (it regularly is). CD101.9 dipped next a 3% share of audience, nonetheless it has a same vigilance strength as many of a top-ranked stations.

All of a air wave web sites will be covering this story. I’m already conference from people. If we wish some-more info check below.

Some good comments so far. SJ can have money, it’s a make a difference of you do it right as well as patience. New Orleans is a "Purist" locale as well as SJ is a conflicting of pristine jazz. Country has been attempted in NY (more than once) – yet a combo AC/pop nation competence work – sorta similar to a softer versin of a a aged Top-40 where you’d get all supposing it was selling. we determine it seems air wave is a own misfortune rivalry these days.

I’m starting to spin this over to a electorate this afternoon so’s not to uncover any favoritism. Thanks all!

Yet an additional reason to get satellite. XM has Watercolors, which will never get cancelled as good as has no commercials. Terrestrial sucks, as good as this serve proves it. Rock doesn’t work good in NYC, that’s since K-Rock might be becoming different to country. This is a bad pierce as good as they’ll bewail it (Jetsette tells me otherwise, though we listened Howard contend it too, which finished me consider it was starting to happen). And I’m not certain which Country wouldn’t work in New York. Its been attempted as good as unsuccessful in a past, though you’re not starting to lift any improved than a 2 share with Rock in New York, it usually doesn’t happen. A couple of years ago maybe, though not today.

I do recollect a conflict over Free-FM, though which was since it was so really bad done. David Lee Roth in a morning? That was a finish fun as good as everyone knew it. It inebriated since it was so feeble executed. In Dallas as good as LA, a stations which became Free-FM were already Hot Talk stations, though to convet a Rock powerhouse in to a square of flint as good as design bullion usually won’t happen. The coronet during CBS Radio had no thought what they were you do as good as usually blew it.

The complaint with air wave currently is which stations have been blaming their ratings problems upon their particular format. we can’t recollect a time when so most stations altered formats similar to they have been today. The complaint is not a format, a complaint is competition. Radio isn’t becoming different with a times as good as have been conducting commercial operation as usual. It isn’t which people have been branch to a competition, a which people have been listening to .mp3 players as good as Satellite radio, which yield WAY improved alternatives. The usually approach we see air wave saving itself is by HD Radio, though we have never seen anything so feeble marketed in my life. Most people have never listened of it, as good as those which have do not wish to compensate $200 for a table-top radio. Radio stations need to put all their resources in to creation HD a subsequent large thing, otherwise, human will turn superannuated prior to it realizes it.

I am essentially really vehement for WRXP. Though NYC already has WXRK, it is still good to have a choice. WRXP will be upon condition which pick as well as classical stone formats, which is something which K-Rock (WXRK) does not specialize in. It’s a good switch-over!

Toucan Sam, K-Rock is not switching over to country. First of all, there is no marketplace in a city for nation as well as do we even recollect a conflict in a city when K-Rock became Free FM? People DEMANDED their stone music. K-Rock is a usually genuine provider of stone song to a city, Long Island, as well as New Jersey. The gossip of a switch-over to nation was combined by Opie as well as Anthony to piss off a PD of K-Rock with whom they have been not upon good conditions with.

Apparently O as well as A have been possibly fiery a lot of people or something as we know they have been forsaken from a couple of stations given bringing their action over for Citadel as well as a couple of others.

Apparently they have flipped it to a Alternative which plays classical as well as New stone to tempt people to a truer alternative/AAA brew they have starting upon a station.

Someone pronounced it was starting after classical stone 104.3 nonetheless assumingly is perplexing to be a slight pick to K-Rock… definition K-rock needs to dump a little alt as well as go some-more active seems.

Country finished right might have a possibility in NYC nonetheless it would take some-more of a bankable artist list which is some-more "Nashville Pop" as well as reduction "Hat acts" which is conflicting of a south where we am. It has to be automatic some-more as a hire to attend to conflicting of a internal A/Cs

But which is a direction with well-spoken Jazz. At slightest even nonetheless HD air wave is fundamentally being kick to genocide right now, it’s starting to be a home for formats which have a following nonetheless not sufficient to flip a analog hire nonetheless (key with this is, it can be listened as well as can’t be shut off by buildings similar to Sat air wave or by a IT guys… Meaning HD air wave will do improved in vital cities we think)

Hell in a home of Jazz (New Orleans), They can’t keep a well-spoken Jazz or standards hire during all. The usually place to essentially listen to Jazz is upon WWOZ (a Class A non-Commercial) as well as this is some-more normal Jazz.

But to put a spike in a coffin, it was cited upon a cd101.9 website about disappearing numbers in a book as a reason for a flip.

Contrary to alternative opinions, jazz hire format’s have not been income makers. Emmis is the house which the shareholders design dividends. The Smooth jazz format is the single of the lowest money-making formats. Historically, the usually essential well-spoken jazz hire in the tip 50 air wave markets has been KTWV in Los Angeles.

With which said, well-spoken jazz is still accessible upon WQCD, upon the HD-2 channel. An Hybrid Radio (HD) receiver costs as most as the XM or Sirius receiver, though distinct heavenly body radio, programming upon HD air wave is free.
