Cristopherjohn, it is so interesting to know that your radio station picks the music for the Sandy show -- and then the fireworks company then plans their show around what the station selected. I would have assumed that it was the other way around -- a fireworks show company would offer to the sponsoring city a list of shows that they could perform based on budget and desired length and that the music would have been preselected by the fireworks company to correspond with those choices. Meaning that the radio station was just handed a CD and told "play this when we give you the signal."

I have to shake my head every time I hear Born In the USA by Springsteen at a fireworks show. Doesn't ANYONE listen to the lyrics?

I wish the Dr. Demento show was still a thing. If so, I would put it back on Sunday nights.
The weekend Block Party programming needs a change-up. I would experiment with putting the HD2 Deep Tracks on for a few random weekends and see how that does. And while I am thinking about it, why not run an AOR format during the overnight hours? (play entire albums)

With the indoor one we have now, we can get some channels, but not others. We have not used it in over a year, so I honestly can't remember if KJZZ is one I can get or not. I guess I need to check.

Now I will finally have to get an antenna on the roof. Doing that was part of the plan when we cut the cord two years ago, but we found that we really weren't missing local tv, so we never did that step.

I would restore the Nauvoo Bell. I would restore CBS Radio affiliation and carry CBS News at the TOH as SOP. The top local stories should air at the bottom of each hour. I would split the AM and FM at certain times. I think I would have the FM be all-news all the time, primarily with the CBS radio news stream during overnight hours. Maybe still carry America In the Morning. I have never listened to it, but I would be open to it staying if the quality is there. And no conservative bias. Oh, and of course I would retain Music and the Spoken Word and LDS General Conference. I would partner with KSL TV and the Deseret News to have a 24/7 news room capable of covering breaking local news stories at any time of the day or night. Even during the overnight hours, at least once each hour, there would be a live local news summary. This live reporter/news reader would be the tip of the spear for any breaking overnight news, covering the initial story as other, on call, reporters get up to speed on the story. Maybe this is what KSL already does. I know they make claims that such is the case. Anyone know for sure?
When split, I would have the AM be where live sports is heard. And where long breaking news is heard, such as coverage of a speech or debate. Talk I would move to other stations.

If I remember correctly, when KEGA first went on the air, before it did Country, it simulcast an AM station that did real Oldies. I set a preset for it.
I remember also that a few years ago, there was a few stations that tried programming Adult Standards targeted to a younger demographic who were born too late to have grown up with it. So I think a station that didn't have much to lose could experiment with doing a mix of early Rock and Roll (think Elvis-intensive) and up tempo Adult Standards (lots of Swing).

I agree with you, CA. I like my metal when I am in the mood, but I am never in that mood when I am driving. And the DJs just act too juvenile.
I am assuming that you have 106.7 as the other rock station. Is 103.5 still too classic hit orientated for you to class it as a rock station?

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.

Business 99.1 is still significantly behind live. I checked Sunday of last week and then yesterday and both times it was far from live. So if it ever got fixed, it broke again.

KSL's memorial to Dick Nourse included a recording of the farewell broadcast they did for him back in 2007 when he retired. I hadn't seen it before. They went all out. A big stretch limo taking him to and from Broadcast House. No ads during the broadcast. And they even went a couple of minutes overtime into network programming.

I don't know about Soft Sunday Sounds. I don't listen to KSFI on Sundays (instead, I listen to 89.1 and sometimes 107.9). To tell the truth, I don't listen to KSFI the other six days of the week, either. It is not one of my presets. KBEE is better.
What I would do if I ran things is flip KSFI (call letters, programming and all) to 102.7 and flip 102.7 to 100.3. This would return the KSL FM call sign to its historic location. I think 100.3 sounds better than 102.7 and I would rather have a station I listen to on the better frequency than one that I don't listen too.
