Hello Specialed, I'm chickenjuggler. Word to your mother.

Say, I'm curious: Did your HD channel decide to provide exactly the same sort of programming as your terrestrial signal provides? Or was your playlist for your HD signal tweeked to compliment/suppliment/provide slightly more experimental sounds or, really , anything different at all?

I will check it out!

I second Chicken's question.

our HD2 signal is dance music, some rhythmic records too. it's really fun to listen to, while our primary feed is also in HD.

And what was the process in determining:

a). What the format would be?

b). Whom would " host " the show? Were there other jocks that wanted the gig? How hard was it to sell the idea(s)?

Is it all commercial-free? Any sponsors at all for the signal?

Just curious...but why would anyone on this board care about a Clear Channel HD2 station in Minnesota???? This is pdxradio.com!

a cuz, i post on here every now and then, im kinda from portland, and their isn't much HD in pdx yet.

and the boards in MN are really mean.

Not much HD(2) in Portland? Nine so far. One has changed format already. Four are streamed, the other five will be soon.

True, none are programmed locally, that I know of.

"Just curious...but why would anyone on this board care about a Clear Channel HD2 station in Minnesota???? This is pdxradio.com!"

Because this is the first time I have read a comment from someone who is part of an HD show.

That's why.

Now you know.

Who cares about someone who is part of an HD2 show in Minnesota? If its an HD2 show in Portland, I might be interested. I repeat, this is PDX radio NOT MN radio.

Yeah. I heard you. That's fine. So now that you know what this thread is about, is it ok if I am interested?

I'm curious about the process and if it translates to other markets.

No. You're not allowed to be interested. And pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Gee, does this guy talk on the air like he posts? Wow. I'll bet us in the 50+ demographic will be all over this.

Or not.

haha, im awesome. 10pm your time, just 25 hours away www.kdwb.com

woot woot, kinda pumped, i have got some good songs in my first hour, hopefully i will get to tracking tonight.

peep my personality page on the site too, we get to update our own, it's sweet.

Well I was less interested in the promotion of it than the process involved in making it happen.

But hey, you're enthused and happy. That's not a terrible thing to share.

Good luck.

For what it's worth...

My early radio memories go back to 63 KDWB (yes, AM!) when they were up against WDGY 1130 for the Top 40 crown in the Twin Cities. KDWB won my loyalty when they played the Stones "Lets Spend the Night Together", while "WeeGee" wouldn't. The only jock I can recall from that era at KDWB was True Don Bleu.
...I've been warped ever since.

Did anyone happen to catch the show on KDWB-HD2?

Once again...why would anybody on this board care to catch the KDWB-HD2 broadcasts???????

Let's see....The guy who started this thread started out super pumped, pointed out he was kinda from portland and that people on the boards in MN were mean, then slipped to kinda pumped and is now completely silent.

Perhaps he sucked and is too embarrassed to tell us?

"Once again...why would anybody on this board care to catch the KDWB-HD2 broadcasts???????"

I explained it already. Or was my reason not good enough for you?

Take off your hall monitor badge and back off.
