KOSY has flipped from it's all Christmas format to "Rock 106.5" It has the same logo and format from "Rock 99.1." The 99.1 website redirects to 106.5. 99.1 is still on air with a rock format, but it seems to be a different feed.

"Utah's New Classic Rock". Sounds like competition for 103.5 .
Maybe 98.7 was just one too many Christmas signals. And 97.9 took some of their soft AC audience too.

Wow..... couldn't wait to open present until Christmas huh....
Now Come On Man !! It's more fun if they do a construction sound for 48 hours that will catastrophically and humanly let us all beware that they are building a new station? So by golly where's the fun of flipping without that?
But flipping 106.5 while Christmas was on seems odd...
Guess that answers the who got laid off this round from clear channel in SLC?

"...And let's us know that they are building a new station for us ect..." Well, etc., anyway....)

My view is that there are two separate issues here. First, does flipping 106.5 to classic rock make sense. I say it does. The very similar format on 99.1 has been doing very well to spite a massively inferior signal. KOSY outside of the Christmas format time has been doing not so well. I'm sure KBZN jumping in hasn't helped either.
The other issue is timing. Right at the time when even people who don't listen to the all-Christmas stations will be jumping in, KOSY flips away from it. I can't help but think that their ratings for the Christmas format would have been going up over the next few days. That's not to mention pissing off people who chose them as their Christmas station. It's even more bizarre given that they are the ones who flip *first* every year. I don't get this at all.

When did KOSY get an HD2 channel? I didn't have that in my notes.

When did KOSY get an HD2 channel? I didn't have that in my notes. About 2 years ago? It was called Radio Radio a classic alternative format which I loved but last I listened it was more of a grunge 90's alternative. Well 106.5's facebook page is pretty much full of haters! with that much hate talk I would pull it from facebook |

Who's this supposed "English teacher," Peter?
{Looking around, and upon seeing none, that leaves me to wonder, especially since nobody has said anything "teacherish" or directly corrective, that should or could earn them that badge seriously or even jokingly...}
Well, anyway, happy Christmas! :-)

Oh shoot! I wish I had seen all the hate mail on that facebook page too! But now there IS no facebook page for the old station/format.
Happy Christmas, though!

The gal that did the Showtunes Tonight show posted on her facebook that she didn't lose her job and said something about her show reaching a wider audience. I can only guess syndication, but KOSY is the only CC station here that makes sense for it. I can see 100.3 maybe picking it up but maybe for now it's just going to be streaming in iHeartRadio... Any thoughts?
And Merry Christmas, every one!
