Journal Broadcast Group’s stations had a tough book. The group has one station in the top 10 - perennial winner 107.1 K-Hits with a strong 6.7.
The rest of the stations are in the doldrums.
- KJOT/J-105 down 12% from last year to 3.3
- KQXR/100.3 The X lost a third of its audience for a […]

Here’s that KF95 logo I was hoping someone would send. If you have an old Idaho station logo floating around - send it to me! I’ll post it here, and share it with Art Gregory and the History of Idaho Broadcasting Foundation guys for their archives.

Journal Communications acquired all sorts of stuff when it bought KFXJ nearly a decade ago. Equipment, a transmitter, the frequency and a small handful of employees.

Two of those folks - Rochelle Smith and Rockwell Smith (no relation) are still with the company, and each has proved themselves to be among the best things to […]

Not really much of a local radio tie here (except that Johnstone and Deeds played it last night on KRVB/94.9 The River’s “The Other Studio”) - but this is… something else.
It’s Scarlett Johansson’s “Falling Down” from her forthcoming album. Really.

KRVB/Idaho’s 94.9 The River have launched a new series of TV ads. The spots feature key phrases that describe the river over a bed of songs heard. The phrases slowly morph into 94.9 THE RIVER.
The new promos do not feature the station’s logo - and actually stand apart from the clutter a bit.

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 […]

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).
