Hey, you called this 9 months ago- way to go!

members.m4d.com/forum/read/utradioguide/361441/

PS- as a reminder to everyone, that is the OLD Utah Radio Guide forum and no longer operates. There may be some topics of interest to anyone I suppose. . .

Wow! I thought I thought I killed that forum, when I moved to the new one.

Oh well, it is kind of funny to go back and look at the old posts.

In regard to KISN, someone's Oct post:

"I agree though, I think Clear Channel is going to sit on it and not do anything. The problem? They will probably see an increase in the ratings next time, because come on, can you get lower than a 1.7? They will then see a 1.9 as a positive and keep going with the station. Unless they do something drastic to this station, it will always be mediocre."

"Keep in mind the 1.7 is a 12 plus rating! The 25-54 rating was only down a little bit. It is still lower than Clear Channel would like it. I think they will turn it around."

"Ouchie! I was afraid this was coming! Of course (in my opinion), it was measured during the worst part of KISN, back in October during it's identity crisis. Now they've pulled the jingles back out of the closet and dusted them off, I think it sounds fresher again. I bet they give Kisn another book before the pull the plug or flip formats (again)."



The best is the prediction of what would happen from last year around this time to today at Clear Channel. Some are funny, while others were dead on:

"KISN- I think it will become a Kiss-FM clone, just like KARO (now KSAS) did in Boise. "

"KKAT (k102) - That stations has problems with me. I don't like the fact that one man can run a station, voicetrack a morning show, and still pull as good of numbers as KSOP. Something's fishy about it. "

"I read on 100000watts.com that Kisn 97 has changed formats to "alternative 80's" yet on their website they list the charts labeled "adult contemporary" Any ideas???"

And let's not forget all those Todd and Erin threads.

Yup, I'm glad that forum is "out of service," at least for active use.
