The ratings are in and KKLQ is still climbing steadily. Already surpassing commercial riddled KFSH, the 0.8 rating is a sign that the station is succeeding (which, in the whole history of EMF media, stations have never shut down completely due to ratings). I have followed EMF closely since 2004 and have never heard of them leaving a large market after arriving. New York is a good example where naysayers said the Big Apple would never support a full power Christian music station with fringe Bridge and Star (WAWZ) coverage already in the metro. They were wrong.
I have seldom heard a station tuned, balanced, and adjusted as well as KKLQ is now. The sound of the station almost sounds better than a CD or bluetooth input of the same song! The Artist Experience is only lacking station logos for HD 1 and HD 2 as titles, albums, and songs are fully labelled. This station placed itself as a huge player in the metro in a matter of months and it's running strong.
