106.9 Changes Format!

Free FM will become Classic Hits KFRC this afternoon, after the game.

Star-divide

From a CBS Radio email:

"We are excited to announce that effective this afternoon following the Oakland A's broadcast, 106.9 FM will become Classic Hits KFRC! This heritage station and format will feature time-tested artists like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Eagles, Marvin Gaye, Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac and Steve Miller, to name a few. As a result, MOViN' 99.7 will pick up the new call letters KMVQ. Oakland A's baseball will continue to be broadcast on both 106.9 KFRC and 1550 AM KYOU Radio."

No change for the A's, but still, I thought it might be of interest to y'all.

610 AM (former A's flagship)

used to play classic hits before the station was bought by a Christian broadcasting company. This sounds like the FM station will be something like 610 used to be.

106.9 will have the old 99.7 format

99.7 used to be oldies/classic rock, but then they killed it and switched formats to "Movin".  So, I think they are bringing the oldies/classic rock format back from the dead.

On the A's bandwagon since 1986...

"time-tested"?

What's Elton John's speed down the first-base line?

So....
his entrance music would be...

"Hey E-J, Go E-J, Go E-J"

he'd try to get "Rocket Man" ...

... but Clemens would throw a shattered l.p. at him.

Elton's so slow, the sun would go down on him.

Yes, that's a "u".  

But Benny's faster, and the Jets?

I thought KFRC still had their FM station

so do they have 2 FM stations now?

they're changing the call letters

99.7 will be KMVQ, rather than KFRC

Damn.

I was starting to like the 106.9 talk radio programming. Any news on where that's going?

XM

Anthony and Opie double on XM 202 as well, although they are currently suspended for some comments they made a few days ago. No idea what those comments were, though.

Classic hits?

Guess that means they won't be broadcasting the half-innings when the A's bat.

The Oldies seem to
follow the A's around. Which makes sense, given that the A's-Giants series is about to start.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Yet they're healthier than we are ..

.. but then, probably 28 other teams in MLB are healthier than we are ..

.. the Athletics may be small-market but they have BIG-heart! ..

The A's need some Keith Richards mojo.

If Milton could do this ...

... he would be on the DL allatime.  And we can always get somebody to redo the baselines.

hell, keith has at least 9 lives

if you think about all the stuff he's done, even falling out of a tree onto his head, it's kinda amazing that he's virtually never been on the DL.  nothing kills Keith.  he will live longer than any of us.

Hi ho.

Tom Leykis=evil (not.funny.) man

Adam Carolla on Loveline=comic genius.

Adam Carolla on that morning show= meh.

If you sift through all the hubris

There's lessons to be learned from Leykis.  He's kinda full of himself and all that, but if many guys would look at the reasoning behind some of his 'advice', they'd probably save themselves from being stuck in unhappy relationships/marriages.  Leykis generalizes a bit too much, but he's a much faster evaluator of women and their motivations than most guys.  Then again, I'm more of a cynic than an idealist when it comes to relationships.

faster evaluator of women and their motivations

There's a word for that.

hah - kidding.  I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to be surrounded by beautiful 20 yr olds eager to please me when I'm 80. :P
