citykid09 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Troy Goodwin from the radio-info.com boards says:First of all, after the Party was over in Houston, I can tell you that COX & Cumulus are in position to flip either KHJK or KHPT-two poorly rated stations-to Hip-Hop & R&B to directly compete with The Boxx. Right Now, KHMX is safe-for now, so I believe it's too close to The Boxx. Meanwhile, KRBE has tweaked its Top-40 format to go head to head with MIX, although that station has lost Sam Malone and I believe They might pick Seacrest up for its morning show fix, currently vacated by Michele Fisher.

Jeebus Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I get enough hip-hop out of 95.7 that I took 97.9 & 93.3 off my dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citykid09 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Univision set the station up to fail but Im glad it will room for a new stationYeah, it was harder to tune in when they moved it to 93.3fm. Every time I listened though, there were good radio personalities, hate to see them leave. Thursday, Jan. 27, 2005 Cumulus Makes Expected Rock Move In HoustonIn a move that has been expected since the hiring earlier this month of 20-year Houston Rock radio veteran Pat Fant as Market Manager, Cumulus today at noon flipped KRWP (Power 97.5) from Urban AC to "Rock 97-5." Cumulus/Houston execs are presently at a launch party to celebrate the station's flip to mainstream Rock, and a station executive tells R&R that its new call letters will be KIOL. The calls are reminiscent of KLOL, the longtime Houston Rocker that became Hispanic Urban "Mega 101" in November 2004. Cumulus is in the process of purchasing Country KVST/Willis, TX, which is upgrading its facilities by moving to 100kw and shifting its tower to La Porte, TX, located between the Houston and Beaumont, TX markets. The company is expected to eventually return KRWP's Urban AC presentation to KVST upon completing its acquisition of the station.Here are some more hip hop/Urban stations I can remember in Houston:Hot 97.1Party 93.3, Party, 104.9, House Party 100.??Power 97.595.7 the WaveAnyone remember others?

Trae Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 93.3 sucked anyway. I hated all the Reggaetone songs they put on. We need pure Hip-Hop stations and 97.9 is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Cumulus is terrible. Maybe they're just terrible in Abilene. But if you think 104 or every other station only plays like the same 10 songs every 45 minutes, then you're in for a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
