New Rap Station In KC
- Thread starter techn9nehq
- Start date
Someone should contact thier marketing department and see about getting them to do a local artists hour once a week. Hell they might do it if someone would sponsor it or even just suggest it. KC has lots of artists that they could use for a "local spotlight" once a week show. That would get thier ratings up for certain, it would also create a buzz about the station, and put thier competition in thier ratings rear view mirror

Well, how it goes in Detroit, where we have two urban stations, is that they both play radio garbage all day long.. Like total bullshit that you would hear on the top 40 anyways, so it's garbage. But, at night, 102.7 plays underground shit, and 97.9 plays like techno..
So, i'd guess Tech could get some play at night, but I'm not sure about day.. But, who knows actually.. I know one of the songs that blew up around here is the trick trick song, and he's a local cat. So, I guess it could happen. I did hear Tech a couple times on the radio when I'm A Playa and Imma Tell was getting airplay, though.

If it's infinity or Viacom it won't matter. They won't play local. At least not for more than a few weeks.
No jocks is a regular for a format change, but even though they're looking to fight for the rap format, one will eventually change to a more contemporary R&B station with a little hip-hop on it. It's happened here in new york recently.
Hot 97 and Power 105 battled, and when 105 came on it seemed like the best station. More oldschool hits, less jock rambling, better dj's... but eventually it just wound up playing mostly R&B. Even KRock changed formats from whatever you would call that "indie" bullshit (White Stripes) mixed with old shit you've heard a thousand times (Chili Peppers) format to the "We play kick ass rock" format (from Guns, to Floyd, to AC/DC, to newer shit like Staind and Mudvayne) and fell to the fact that Howard wasn't on it.
Commercial radio is commercial radio. The only time I get to hear local shit out here in NY is when I listen to college radio stations. I know there are some "Long Island" type rock stations out here, but we don't have any "Long Island" type rap stations... If that's a serious local KC rap station, then the only reason you can't get Tech played on it is because you aren't trying hard enough.
They would maybe have a local show on Sunday night or something for a few hours.

I don't listened to the radio much anymore. However, I am willing to give it a listen, especially since they've changed the format. Let's just hope they stick with it.
Whatever happened to the Boilng Point?

There was another radio show on 90.1 KKFI that played some rap. I think it was called Massive Mondays. Forgot who hosted it though(maybe Cool Wayne, but I could be wrong).
AfterSpot was good too, except the time slot wasn't that great, Fridays 3-6 AM(hosted by Cool Wayne)
