Music KQRC 98.9 the rock - Page 8

sodcat · 07-17-2009, 06:28 PM

Anyone else think they play way to many commercials? I was driving home this evening they played 2 or 3 songs than about 6 minutes of commercials and other junk. Is XM worth the price and is the reception quality good, at least in the KC area? THanx for any input. I was out in VA beach last summer and their radio station, WNOR was 10 times better, and a lot larger selection of songs unlike the rock who plays a lot of the same songs.

KC radio stations beat the DFW radio stations. That is some real corporate crap.

When 98.9 first came out it was 1000x's better than anything else in KC, but as with most things, they aged and become weak.

When I moved to Omaha in 1991 they shortly came out with 93.3 and that was sooooo much better than anything KC had at the time. But even it fell apart.

Oh god I hated 93 K-rock. They were alright at first, but went downhill quickly. My dickhead supervisor at the time insisted we listen to that station...they had two of the biggest flaming homos on in the morning...and they were the worst ever as far as repeating songs, I remember hearing "Are you gonna go my way" by Lenny Kravitz 2-3 times a day. Every day.

Yeah, but KC radio at the time was 102 or 101, which was either really old music or just plain old music. It was sooo painful that it hurt. By the time I left KC I was so sick of Zep, AC/DC, ZZ top, etc that I still can't listen to them in the car. Luckily I never listen to most radio stations to catch the repeats, but I do seem to remember that song getting a lot of play time up there. Morning shows really have nothing to do with the music in the station, you are lucky to ever hear a song on morning radio, but Todd and Tyler (?) had the better show up there. What cracked me up is when the alternitive music hit they started playing stuff nobody had heard of.

Every now and then I could pick up the rock station from Lincoln, hearing Megadeth, on an FM station in the morning was wonderful, lol.

Todd n Tyler were better at the time, but they got old too. It got to the point where their show was just about what they and their little group of friends did the night before, it got quite annoying. My last straw with them was when the ****ing arrogant bastards threatened to leave Omaha if the we didn't vote to build the Qwest Center. I have no idea how they are still on the air, everyone I know can't stand them. I know at one time they even got their show on in Springfield, MO. I have no idea if they're still on there though.

If I'm correct, I remember a ZZ99 (99.7) playing all the rock before 98.9 came on the scene. I missed that station when KYYS became KY99.7.

**007** · 07-19-2009, 04:45 AM

So is this actually pronounced K Crock?

Actually KQRC used to BE ZZ99. Back in the day, 99.7 (pre KY) was KMBR... Elevator Music.

Malicious Intent on KJHK 90.7 was as good as radio got around here in the day.

At least 102.1 the edge (I call it the butterknife) plays a different mix on Sunday nights where they play different types of music. It's only for a couple of hours. I don't remember KC having the same thing although things might have changed since I moved.

Sirius Liquid Metal/Boneyard/Faction (except when Jason Ellis is on)/and the occasional Lithium pwns any local radio.

I was tired of them long before I left in 2000, but they were okay I just wanted some darn music in the morning. Of course I did forget that KC did have the guys doing the lost leave it to beavers, those were pretty funny when I was a teenager.

Find new bands on the internet.... join a forum of elitist pricks (they usually know what they are talking about).... and put down corporate radio.
