Update 5/18/09: As we first reported on Friday, KKSF did indeed become “103.7 The Band” at 3:00pm PDT. The new format is straddling the line between Classic Hits and Classic Rock with a heavy 70’s emphasis. The Smooth Jazz programming that had existed on KKSF for the prior 22 years will continue online and on KKSF’s HD2 feed.
The first hour of music on 103.7 The Band consisted of:
Santana – Everybody’s Everything
The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Beatles – A Day In The Life
The Doobie Brothers – Listen To The Music
Elton John – Bennie And The Jets
The Rolling Stones – Start Me Up
Fleetwood Mac – Landslide
The Eagles – Peaceful, Easy Feeling
Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Journey – Don’t Stop Believin’
Norman Greenbaum – Spirit In The Sky
Kiss – Rock And Roll All Nite
Peter Gabriel – In Your Eyes
Chicago – Saturday In The Park
Original Post 5/15/09: Is Clear Channel preparing to flip Smooth Jazz 103.7 KKSF San Francisco? A number of new domain registrations seem to point towards something happening. 1037theband.com, 1037band.com, band1037.com, banned1037.com, theband1037.com, and thebandsf.com were all registered by Clear Channel yesterday. We can’t seem to indicate a potential new format based on the registrations, other than some form of Rock. We’ll be following this one closely.
So the bastards change another station to another format without blinking and eye and could care less about the area they service or the people that listen.
This is what continues to be wrong with radio, and it’s name is CC. Horrific bunch of criminals.
