KKGL/96.9 The Eagle is Boise’s #1 radio station. Anchored by Bob & Tom in the morning and local jocks in the midday and afternoon, the station jumped to its best number since spring 1998 with a whopping 7.4. That mark is also the best rating for a commercial FM since KIZN/Kissin’ 92.3 scored a […]

We polled the IRN audience just after the start of the book - and again toward the end, and in both cases, voters picked KSAS/103.3 Kiss FM to make the biggest gains.
The biggest winner depends on if you are looking at year over year gains or book-to-book improvement.
KDBI takes the book […]

KKGL/96.9 The Eagle is running a liner that bills itself as “Boise’s only classic rock station.”
While the station does play classic rock, and covers Boise - so does KJOT/J-105. Heck, both are even licensed to the City of Trees.  When I heard the liner, I thought perhaps KKGL is basing the claim on not playing […]

Someone at Citadel Boise must have been inspired by a game of Bunco. Not only is KZMG/Magic 93.1 doing an insurance contest with sky high odds - so is KKGL/96.9 The Eagle. The rules are basically the same. 96 folks will be qualified on the air - then asked to show up […]

An annual Eagle tradition is coming. KKGL/96.9 The Eagle is helping promote a raffle for a brand new motorcycle. But really this is all about finding a reason to embed this YouTube classic from ‘06:

KKGL/96.9 The Eagle isn’t just “the rock station” — but “thee rock station” — so says its website.

Remember the KKGL/96.9 The Eagle March Madness tournament of bands? AC/DC won…

KKGL/96.9 The Eagle is holding a tournament of its own this month - trying to determine the national champion of rock bands. The station has set up brackets on its website (well… on theticketchicks.com I guess) — and listeners are invited to vote.
We’re still in the second round - with a few upsets. 12-seed […]

96-9theeagle.com and KTIK.com are now on the Mediaspan platform, after launches by KQFC, KIZN, KZMG and KBOI.
The KTIK site might actually be the best of the bunch - with the national sports feeds — and the daily, very topical Scott Slant (which KTIK shares with KTVB.COM). J Bates also has a blog

KJOT/J-105 dropped to its worst performance since 2002 - with a 3.2 overall rating, while KKGL/96.9 The Eagle slipped to a 4.5. Mix in KQXR, which also fell from a 4.6 to a 3.7, and you have three rock stations with mediocre ratings (not to mention KRVB, which was up this book - but […]

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:

KAYN/Boomer 100.7
KAWO/WOW Country 104.3
KBOI/News-Talk 670
KTHI/107.1 K-Hits
These stations […]

Citadel has let go two of its on air staff in recent days. KKGL night guy Jason Drew and KZMG morning host Valentine are no longer with the company. Val was the longest serving member of the Magic staff - and will be replaced by Dan Tooker in early 2008. Valentine shifted to AM drive […]

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 […]

It used to be the Citadel Broadcasting Boise websites were the best in the market. Now? Fat chance. Peak Broadcasting hired Stationality to put together a suite of sweet websites, and the Journal Broadcast Group got with the program as well. But the Citadel sties sites have pretty much stood still and […]

So KJOT/J-105 has been celebrating Rocktober for about 400 years.
This year, cross-town rocker KKGL/96.9 The Eagle has its own stunt: Proctober. As in… proctology… as in… checking your colon. As in… well - you know.
The Eagle has been giving away free prostate cancer screenings.. and Doug broadcast live from a proctologist’s office this […]
