KAWO’/WOW Country 104.3’s “Tarzan” (aka the non-Hardball-playing Chris Matthews) is getting hitched! He popped the question to girlfriend Rosey last week. Tarzan told listeners that she wouldn’t let him tape it for radio playback… but that didn’t stop him from doing a dramatic reenactment with one of Boise’s most well-known voices…

KAWO/Wow Country 104.3 is one of Boise’s top five radio stations - and beat long-time heritage station KQFC to take the silver medal in the country race. Despite all the good news, the station is still behind KIZN/Kissin’ 92.3 The station jumped 170% year-to-year - nearly tripling its audience from the final book as […]

From the studio that brought you Chained to Kate comes the sequel… Tied to Tarzan.
Five folks will get out the rope and stay ohsoclose to the KAWO/Wow Country 104.3 all next week to win Reba McEntire/Kelly Clarkson tickets. I could explain… but YouTube has so much more impact:

KAWO/Wow Country 104.3 has made some updates to its website - check it out here.

What happens when a radio listener wins a contest she doesn’t remember entering? Hilarity ensues…

So I got an e-mail telling me that KAWO/WOW Country 104.3 turned the radio station upside down for mother’s day — with a link to the station’s home page. I must have spent a full minute trying to figure out what I was missing…

The creative folks at KAWO/WOW Country 104.3 put their own spin on a new ad branding campaign by the Discovery Channel. The Discovery ads tag with “The World is Just Awesome” and stand out from the crowd. The WOW ads are similar in style and tag with “Idaho… it’s just awesome”
First the […]

So when KIZN/Kissin’ 92.3 host Steve Shannon was on CMT Insider a few weeks ago - did KAWO/WOW Country 104.3 go ahead and run its radio simulcast on Sunday morning at 6am?

Is KQFC/97.9 Idaho Country tinkering? This weekend, the station played nothing but gold cuts - chucking the Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts tunes for a heaping helping of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Willie Nelson and Clint Black. For now - the normal rotation is back in place.
KQFC has been the lost […]

The spring ratings period is underway, and the usual array of promotions has started to unroll. A sampling:
- KQXR is giving away tickets/air/hotel to a music festival in Columbus in May.
- KTHI/107.1 K-Hits is helping the Warm Springs Counseling Center bring Tony Bennett to town - and is giving away tickets to the show […]

CMT Insider’s weekly Hit List feature this week shined the spotlight on KAWO/Wow Country 104.3 - and afternoon guy Tarzan Dan.

KAWO/WOW Country 104.3 began to see its numbers rise - to a 3.7 in the fall, versus a 2.0 last spring. The Peak-owned station is still the country caboose, with KIZN/Kissin’ 92.3 topping the chart with a 6.3 and KQFC at a 5.4.

When Peak Broadcasting purchased the Boise Clear Channel group last year - one of their first moves was to flip KTMY/My Country 104.3 to KAWO/Wow Country 104.3
The My Country incarnation of the station was helmed by former CC OM Jeff Cochran - who now has the same title with Clear Channel in Salt Lake.
Cochran launched […]

I threw out the “10 questions” poll the other day not having any idea if anyone would take the time to vote. To my delight, about 90 of you took a few moments.
You think KIZN/Kissin’ 92.3 had the strongest performance in the fall - and will wind up on top of the country roost […]

The radio dial is sounding quite festive this Christmas eve. As I headed to services this evening - I was pleasantly surprised at the number of stations that dropped their normal formats to get in the spirit - with 100% Christmas music:
KTSY/89.5 FM
KIZN/Kissin’ 92.3
KZMG/Magic 93.1
KRVB/Idaho’s 94.9 The River
KAYN/Boomer 100.7
KAWO/WOW Country 104.3
KBOI/News-Talk 670
KTHI/107.1 K-Hits
These stations […]

KAWO/Wow Country 104.3 made one more adjustment to its schedule after the firing of morning co-host “Panama Jack” AKA Brett Connelly earlier this month. Robin Scott has been moved from evenings to middays. Scott held down that same shift on the station before it flipped from KTMY/My Country 104.3 to the WOW name.

Here’s a look at what Boise-area stations are doing to help the community this year. The Idaho State Broadcasters Association notes that in 2005 (the most recent year available), Idaho radio stations took in $2.1 in fundraising donations (along with $20 million in PSA value).
KTSY - The station is holding a Christmas concert […]

After a day of closed-door meetings, KAWO/Wow Country 104.3 and morning man Panama Jack are parting ways, Idaho Radio News has learned. This is the second staff change on the KAWO morning show in the past two weeks - producer Brian Bird was cut from the Peak roster in November. The change is effective […]

More talent changes at Peak Broadcasting Boise - as Brian “the Bird” exits KAWO/Wow Country 104.3. Brian started with KAWO as evening host before sliding into the AM show producer job. (He also did weekends on KTMY before the station was rebranded under the Wow Country name).
This is the third on-air staff cut at Peak […]
