livincinco Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Is it too much to hope that Houston might get a true alternative rock station? The Buzz is really a best of the 90's station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Both stations are running 100,000 watts. Obviously, KHPT could use a translator in Lake Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTAWACS Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 But I must ask... who the heck listens to the drivel that is called Houston radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Why would they need a translator?Because KPHT's signal is marginal in Galveston and Brazoria Counties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 But I must ask... who the heck listens to the drivel that is called Houston radio?92% of Americans listen to the radio at least once a week. Only 8% don't listen to radio.Radio listnership is actually up from 2008 to 2009 by three million people. There are certain groups of people who claim they don't listen to the radio, but for the most part they're lying because they think it makes them sound cool. To wit, 94% of college students listen to radio in a given week -- more than the national average of 213 million people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shasta Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Is it too much to hope that Houston might get a true alternative rock station? The Buzz is really a best of the 90's station.This exactly. When the buzz plays songs that are nearing 20 years old it really starts to feel like the next generation classic rock station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livincinco Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Just look back at the month of October and the bands that played concerts here with no radio support. Vampire Weekend, LCD Soundsystem, Gorillaz, among many others. Not a radio station in town that will touch any of those bands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
