I listen to a lot of radio as I’m driving around town – flipping between KEIN for some classic tunes (Sinatra!), some NPR and 102.7 for news, 92.9 and 93.7 for rock and pop…and plenty of 1400 for talk radio. Lots of the talkers frequently push the “Income At Home” website, and I always figured it was some sort of referral website that would connect people with work-at-home prospects based on interests and abilities. I was pretty sure it...
Another radio change in Great Falls: looks like “Grassroots Gold” is now airing on KINX at 102.7. Or at least, it is today – don’t know if it’s a permanent change or a one-time deal. If you’re not familiar with Grassroots Gold: it’s a two-hour show hosted by Dave Wilson and Jim Lynn, and they play “classic” country music – also known as retro-country, Western swing, etc. They also provide lots of fun facts and anecdotes about the musicians,...
OK, today is the first day of the new 102.7 (KINX FM) – and so far it seems OK. I had thought that it was going to be ALL news and talk, but after listening for a while this morning and then this afternoon, it looks like they are keeping some of the SAM-inspired eclectic music, too. Between about 7:45 and 8:30 this morning, it was indeed all news – some local and regional stuff (including a hat tip...
Sad news, but also potentially cool: SAM radio (similar to the Jack format) is coming to end in Great Falls. It sprang to life back in 2005 on 107.3 and was mostly awesome: playing everything from Zeppelin to Duran Duran to Motown to No Doubt. Then a few months ago, it moved to 102.7…and now, it’s going to adopt an all-news format. I’ll miss the eclectic SAM mix of tunes, but looking forward to seeing how the all-news thing...
Hmmm…SAM moved from 107.3 to 102.7 on the FM dial, and I notice that on the SAM website, it’s no longer called SAM-Simply About Music, but instead SAN-Simply About Nuttyness. Well, in some areas, at least. Maybe the recent radio shuffle means a new owner, and the former owner of the “SAM” brand won’t let them use the SAM name? Eh…either way, it’s still a good station with an eclectic mix of tunes.
The continuing mystery behind the move of SAM and the static on 107.3 may have been solved by GreaterFalls friend James C, who writes: As of Monday 107.3 has made it’s move to 102.7. I will miss listening to them in my town and being able to hear them all the way when I drive to Great Falls. I just got a reply from the station. Turns out it was a station sale deal by the owners that involved...
OK, part of the mystery has been solved – radio station SAM (KINX) is moving from 107.3 to 102.7, for some reason. And 107.3 is now KYYN, and is just playing promos announcing that SAM has moved. So what’s going to be happening on KYYN…?
