100.5/94.9 is stunting with an all Kevin Federline format as "K-Fed."

This signal-impared property isn't likely to be a huge success regardless of what they do, but CHR/Rhythm should at least get them into the book, which is more than the "Success" News/Talk format was able to do.

At this moment they are still running the K-Fed loop.

Looks like longtime Eugene area announcer/news guy, Dan Nims is out of another gig.

Might get them into the book, barely. This is one of the easiest formats to sell against. The stereotype of the type of listener this format attracts is very strong in people's minds, and is a gold mine for the competition on the street.

Do we know for a fact that 100.5/94.9 is flipping to CHR/Rhythmic?

Too bad 85% of the potential audience for the format is "out of the market" on Christmas break and not available to hear the stunt...and contribute word-of-mouth.

Then again, just putting the real format on the air should be enough to accomplish the same thing, since the "Success" core...albeit small...must be unamused.

Who will take the place of Success in the market, leaving us with only 3 New/Talk stations and 2 sports stations. ?? (!)

And the other 15% can't find the 99 watt signal on the cheap afterthought FM section of their MP3 players.

KDPM is now playing CHR/Rhythmic music as "94-9 Jamz". However, the audio quality is horrible! The segues and imaging don't sound professional, either. Who's running this thing?

FROM ALLACCESS.COM ..A fun twist on cunning stunting in EUGENE, OR on the new 94.9 frequency in advance of the "official" sign-on, as the station is promoting itself as KFED, named for "the great entertainer, hip hop dancer, underestimated singer, family man, and estranged husband of BRITNEY SPEARS, KEVIN FEDERLINE. "

"This is America’s newest mega star and he’s the sole performer all day on KFED/EUGENE, singing all of his hits back to back," said PD ERIC BROWN. "While one’s parents may have had the GRATEFUL DEAD, today we have K-FED. Contrary to the title of his latest hit, KEVIN is loved and respected by millions of fans."

they are currently playing a variety of Urban hits on the steam (see above) I cannot pick up either signal clearly enough here in my studio by the lake. I would like to see who, or what talent they will attrack if any. Could PK and The Playhouse be on in Eugene? It seems like a natural step, i know that there is a Jammin following here in Eugene as well as Corvallis and surrounding areas.

KDPM's audio quality is so poor, it sounds like they're feeding the transmitter with an internet stream. Why would anyone do this?

100.5 KDPM is now in stereo, but their audio files still sound horrible. They won't be attracting much of an audience, until they clean up their music library.

I told you they were pros over there..........NOT!!!!!
Santa---Talk----Now K-Fed?????
Three strikes your out!!!!!!!!
Hire someone who knows the community,who knows Euegene and the surrounding area. Please!!! I know the ownwers had the best of intensions, at least they did when I spoke to them. They might know how to run a business but are lacking in the how to run a radio station dept. If they do not get it right soon (pay attention to those who are not directly around you) say like the audience!!!! you will soon know what strike four means, so will everyone else and then where will you be? At the bottom like you are now but with everyone both in biz, the audience, web sites, news articals and the like all shinning the spot light of unsuccess on you. You'll be foder for this board and many other too. I have tuned in as have others and yet you still dont get it.
I know you also read the board and yet you still dont get it.

any word or buzz as to who might be programming the station? I think that it is still owned by Steve Masters and Diamnond Media or something like that. I noticed today there are some new production elements and the sweeps are getting tighter. I think they are using a voice now too.

No kidding!

Yes, Steve Master's Diamond Peak Media still owns 94.9/100.5 KDPM. Obviously, he doesn't understand how successful radio works. You can't launch a station with a bunch of extremely low quality MP3 files, and expect people to abandon KDUK. KDPM is also playing unedited songs with the "n" word. What a mess!

AllAccess reported that Eric Brown has been hired to program KDPM. Eric successfully programmed CHR/Pop, KLRS "Colors 92-7" in Chico. Hopefully, he'll be able to turn things around at KDPM.

I ran into a couple of kids I used to work with this afternoon who are somewhat envolved in the Eugene Hip Hop Community (I was kinda surprised that there was one). Local Artists, rappers, and club DJ's along with a fairly large following are already spreading the word via myspace and the like. If the format is going to carve a place in the market I'd imagine they would have to have some talent of somekind soon as well as some sort of street team. I noticed that KDUK's Michael Kay is among the top "friends" on Jammin 94.9's myspace page. Wonder if he'll be making a jump? Maybe to a night shift?

And just what particular drug are you using Radioxpert...Why would someone leave a pretty good gig to move to somewhere that will flip formats in 6 months to a year ?

Maybe it won't actually flip!

Does this not depend on how well the efforts are received? If the crew engages the scene, and said scene turns out to have some legs, wouldn't it be a sure thing for quite a bit longer than 6 months?

If they were to flip to spanish contemporary I'm sure they'd do better than La X which has a very poor signal after dwan.

I came across this while checking out the Jammin 94.9 myspace page. Looks like a couple of guys who are truly immersed in the Hip Hop Culture (i say with tongue deeply placed in cheek) I will also agree the audio sounds better and the production continues to evolve. Segues and sweeps are sometime reallly sloppy and loose. You'd think that they'd be hitting the web address in the sweeps to help spread the word but so far I have not heard and while sampling them. http://www.kval.com/news/local/4996141.html?video=YHI&t=a
