What would you do with....100.7 Bob-FM

I'm not crazy about mixing 80's with 90's and "whatever." The sound of the decade is too unique in my opinion. What I would do would be to move 100.7 back to doing 80's CHR and maybe some songs that have that 80's sound even if they weren't actually released then. I'd have other plans for 90's and whatever.

I'd mix Kool and Bob together and have 100.7 play from about 1975 to about 1985. Since I was born in 1966, that decade covers my formative years in music. I served an LDS mission from 1986 to 1988, during which I heard almost no music. So 1986 is kind of when I closed my personal playlist. With that 75-85 span, I would have Bob take the "Whatever" seriously and go deep.

I wouldn't change Bob's format. I loved Jack FM when it was here and Bob is similar. I love the snarky liners. "Bob's always got something up his sleeve. Today it's a dryer sheet, but usually it's great music ..." etc. Would it be physically possible and legal to put boosters in the areas served by 105.5? If so, I would have those built and put KOOL back on 105.5. That whole "100.7 and 105.5 Bob FM" just doesn't roll off the tongue to my ears. It seems like a lot. Plus, maybe if KOOL had an analog signal they could bring the DJs back to it.

The boosters 100.7 have extend it as far as it can go. I'm nearly certain Broadway could put a new 100.7 translator on the west side of the Oquirrh's if they so chose. Back when 100.7 was Rewind it was on the 104.7 translator in Tooele. I'm not sure why the owners with Humpy rimshots who could feed translators with HD subchannels of Farnsworth stations don't build them and basically treat them like additional boosters even if technically they aren't.
