Tallgrass was, for all intents and purposes, pretty bad for that cluster. I was told the company couldn't get its financing in order due to the massive credit crunch.<br /> <br /> The Pittsburg/Joplin cluster sounds much better now that SEK is back running it. I got a chance to give KEKS a bit of a listen as I was driving to and from Austin. It sounded okay, but I was really shocked to find the former CHR powerhouse KFFX running "Today's Best Hits." It sounded like a 24/7 satellite operation, and I thought that was really sad. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/9696#post-71712 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 07:14:10 +0000 030606 71712@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Listening to KISS 103.1 now.. Sounds CHR to me.. <br /> <br /> KKOY (Sunny 105.5) is sounding pretty CHR too. Listened to it on my way to Emporia today. <br /> <br /> I called KKOY and asked the jock what happened to Tallgrass Broadcasting and he said they called the lawn mowing crew in to take care of that problem. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/9696#post-64631 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:00:42 +0000 Kent 64631@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Is it back to calling itself "Kiss 103.1," or is it using "Tallgrass Rocks" but airing CHR? The playlist is definitely CHR, but the Emporia stations aren't streaming yet. I noticed Tallgrass flipped KKOY-FM 105.5 in Chanute back to Sunny 105.5 after being "Tallgrass Rock" for at least a little while. However, its playlist really didn't change much from when it was first Sunny 105.5. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/9696#post-63997 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:47:28 +0000 030606 63997@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Guess what. It's BACK!!! <br /> <br /> KISS 103.1 is on the air right now! Mainstream CHR. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/9696#post-62552 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:59:53 +0000 Workin4ThaMan 62552@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ It's gone, as a CHR.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.tallgrassnation.com/1031KEKS/index.php" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tallgrassnation.com/1031KEKS/index.php">http://www.tallgrassnation.com/1031KEKS/index.php</a><!-- m --></a> http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/9696#post-62055 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:21:39 +0000 030606 62055@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ It was billing more as a Rhythmic CHR than what it is now. <br /> <br /> G U A R A N T E E D ! <br /> <br /> <img src="index.php?t=getfile&id=958&private=0" border=0 alt="index.php?t=getfile&id=958&private=0"> http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/9696#post-60860 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 01:09:47 +0000 JOSH 60860@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Looks like it's still CHR, though a CHR/Pop now. <br /> <br /> When the Rhythmic thing was talked about, I didn't even believe a rural Kansas area could support one and I was right. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/13829#post-60780 Sat, 05 Jan 2008 09:01:33 +0000 Kent 60780@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ I can understand why they're dumping the format on KSJM since it really didn't work. However, I don't know how they think they're going to compete with 1070 The Ranch and Classic Country 92.3 with a satellite format and a rimshot signal. <br /> <br /> The biggest problem they have is that station isn't a Wichita signal, and, while it will be upgrading and getting better, it won't citygrade more than half of Wichita after the upgrade. Although a lot of Kansas stations travel further than their signal parameters indicate they should, that rule doesn't apply too well in Wichita. KYQQ used to make the Tulsa Arbitrons, and I had no trouble getting it from Burlington, CO to past Salina when travelling between Denver and Kansas City. However, it's marginal at best in Wichita.<br /> <br /> By the way, your comment on tornado chasing may be more accurate than you had intended. I remember reading that approximately 20% of Weather Channel viewers watch for 5 or more hours per day and, of that 20%, roughly 80% were in the Wichita TV market! http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/13829#post-60774 Sat, 05 Jan 2008 02:21:12 +0000 JOSH 60774@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ As if Wichita needed a 5th country station, gee, really adds to the whole "Kansas is boring" punch.<br /> <br /> No wonder their entire tourism industry is based on Tornado chasing <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing"> http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/13829#post-60748 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 07:54:56 +0000 only1moore 60748@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Yes folks, R&R has confirmed that they will flip to Country on January 15 (2008) and has been dropped from the Urban panel.
