If IMPACT needs to change thier stations name and logo due to all these copyright infringement issues, they could use:

-KILLER FLU
-Ebola
-Small Pox
-Festering Boil
-Nagging Cough
-Pandemic
-Dying Hordes

Or you might have a better idea out there…. lol…..

“Big bad XM takes on poor little terrestrial radio. I can see the coverage now and all free for the new station. Yeah THE. They are stuuupid!”

Uh, I take it you have no idea how corporations will fight over control of their trademarks. I can’t imagine that Sirius XM won’t try to stop this use of “The Virus.” Could it get some publicity for KQLZ? Sure, but so what, especially if it costs them big bucks AND they have to change their nickname early on. Diary confusion doesn’t usually help a station.

Listening now to the “stream the world” link and am totally surprised that the bit rate is as high as it is…it is actucally listenable!

Companies wonder why streaming “does not work” or cant get people to listen…it is because bit rate is so low and sounds like Sh!T. The Citadel stations bring on the big suck too. People are not gonna listen to some crappy static or squeaky low bit rate stream…shoot even the Seattle stations have horrible streams too.

Most of my online streaming is to kqlz..org 128K ( very similar to the old Pirate Radio…same imaging..music etc) and to KUPD in Phoenix…Sandusky has a decent bitrate, probably 128K on that station too.

Virus…just went from Black to Last Resort. A string of 2 good songs…that is better than some do in the Boise market! LOL…kidding. (was just thinking…doesn’t Rocky do both those songs down at Hannah’s?) ooh ooh…a live female jock that did not sound “blonde”, she took a call from a lady who loved the new station…wait a min….LIVE radio…???????

Somebody from an Opie & Anthony fansite has already taken notice to our new station.

OMG…

I just heard both a live jock between the syndicated morning show…

And LIVE TRAFFIC…

Amazing…

Piper Lynn still sounds like she called in on a landline/cell phone but still…

This is a huge step…

Immediately folled by a Shilo Inns spot, Meth PSA and Wells Fargo spot…

The online feed works great for the bunker they call my office :)

It may or may not be around in six months, but the smart money is betting that, if it is, it will be under a different name.

Hey, Don, maybe you can get audio of Peak’s management reading the cease and desist letter from Sirius XM.

Lucky-

You have said one of the most accurate things to date concerning this format…Only time and sales will ultimately tell if it is here to stay……
