Hi, I like the new Vintage 95.5 music, but IT IS 95% MALE SINGERS. PUT SOME FEMALE SINGERS AND GROUPS ALSO!!!
Radio stations change formats so quickly across all markets – will see how long this next “format” lasts. That is a good point about Vintage 95.5 Santa Rosa – not a brilliant move to alienate a good portion of the listening audience by sex, especially so – when you are just starting with a new format.
We’re sorta laughing, in that now we got 3 FM’s in Sonoma County that basically play the same 70’s oldies. We laughed through the Eddie Money record, the Bob Seger record, and especially the 8 minute long Miss American Pie record. And then there’s the repeating of these same songs!
We had fun with this on KTOB, razzing about the repetitions. I suppose we could continue on KBBF.

So now 95.5 is only playing classical music while a week or so ago, it played vintage light rock!
what happened??
Playing the same, tired oldies-oriented rock wasn’t making it…especially with a weaker signal than the competition. Why not try something new, especially in a college town where classical could find an audience?
KBBL and KJZY swapped? Ok. Trying to keep up with SC radio station format and numerical switches is a full time job.
Found an oldies 1920’s music on 96.3 fm. Probably an accident frequency from the valley. Tend to get alot of that type music when traveling on 5 to LA. What do you think?
I had heard years ago that Santa Rosa had a true AOR Album Oriented Rock FM station, my guess is that it was similar to KSAN in San Francisco. That station went country in 1989, and then went to Classic Rock. KRSH is about the only one other than KRCB that plays anything similar to this format.
I like a station that plays good Album Oriented Rock music with less commercials, talk, (some back announcing the songs played after a twenty minute segment. That’s what I remembered in the early seventies. That’s the kind of radio I listened to around 1973 when I got a decent stereo.
Nowadays it’s mostly with computer assist. Nothing bad as such, just an observation.
