KHTQ or rock945.com out of spokane wash... mid-market that beats everyone out, in 12-39 age in both Men and Women.. also has most people listening on the internet calling in from throughout the world. Why? Cause they play New Hard Rock/Metal and that's what Kids that listen to Rock want to hear.. Not the overplayed stuff from the 90s or the stuff that came out 4 months ago like some Active Rock stations do. People want "New" and "Fresh" stuff. They have their 20 min drive in the car and want to hear New Music or A Classic Hit that was popular but not overplayed to death. How many times will we hear Pearl Jam or Smashing Punkins or Green Day? This isn't 1997. PD's in Active Rock Stations want "Safe Music" that is popular... well it's not popular.. it's well known and "TIRED OF" The Music generation changes every 8-10 years. Mid80s-Early 90s was Hair-Metal.... Mid 90s-early 2000's was Grunge,Alternative.. and mid 2000's to today has been Active Rock or Hard/Rock Metal again... what is next? Only Record Company excs know..
But if you want Todays Active Rock and want to see Who Does It Correctly... go to rock945.com and give it a listen for a few hours.. not just a couple songs.. hear the music .. see how much New Music they play and see why people tune into this Station and demand to hear New Music.
The reason some Active Rock stations fail is cause the PD's won't play enough New Music, it's a Fact... and just playing the same songs over and over again is what makes a radio station die.. they lose listeners, Ratings, and eventually go All Talk or Country!
