For three hours this morning (6:00-9:00), WRXW (Rock 93-9) briefly went smooth jazz--and was temporarily known as Jazzy 93-9. I really did think Rock 93-9 had gone smooth jazz. Here are two more April Fools' Day stunts: - 1999: WTYX (now WWJK) briefly went smooth jazz--and, for a short time, was known as Smooth 94.
- 1997: WKTF (now WHLH) temporarily went all-'70s, and was temporarliy known as Seventies 95.

KGMZ (Oldies 107.9) is having some sort of signal problems today. They are actually broadcasting at 107.8 MHz. ???

Mix 106.5 KEZR in San Francisco played all this stuff that isn't characteristic of them. It would have been nice if they had changed to this "new format". The station normally plays Adult Contemporary.
Here's a list of some songs they played.
Depeche Mode - People are People
No Doubt - Underneath it All
Supertramp - The Logical Song
The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go
Barry White - You're The First, Last, My Everything
Bon Jovi - You Give Love a Bad Name
War - Lowrider
Maroon 5 - Harder to Breathe
Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane
CMC Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat

In Greenville, MS one country station (WDMS 100.7) had an April Fool's joke that totally backfired. Dallas Peel, their morning man was fired during his show when he "flipped" it to urban (I kid you not!). Complaints from advertisers were exaggerating. Now Dallas is unemployed and regrets EVER doing an April Fool's joke on radio again.

KGMZ (Oldies 107.9) is having some sort of signal problems today. They are actually broadcasting at 107.8 MHz. ??? Technical glitch that continues today. >:( Also Salem sister station KHUI-FM began broadcasting with a mono signal yesterday. For quite awhile another sister station KHNR-FM has been doing the mono thing too. That leaves KAIM-FM as the lone Salem station with a stereo signal. Why is Salem broadcasting mono FM signals here ??? |

LOL, what's with all the hate on Cubby Bryant? I actually kinda liked him when I listened to Z100. To each his own, though. (Not to mention, why did Mega248 quote his own post? Do you listen to Z100 online or something?)

And my radio can tune to 107.8 FM. ???

KGMZ moved back to the proper frequency of 107.9 on Sunday. But the Salem FM stations I mentioned earlier are still broadcasting in mono.

WXSS switched the morning show and the night show. It was very confusing. I thought I had vastly overslept.
