Which market are you talking about-- Phoenix or San Fran?
San Fran not long ago started a move closer downtown, and eliminated the downtown booster. Don't know much more than that.<P ID="signature">______________

He must be talking about San Francisco. There was a thread about that over at the San Francisco board.

Yeah, I saw the thread on the SF board too. The only info I've seen is what radio-locator has on their site... there's info about a CP for another transmitter which would be due south of the original site. What I don't understand is that the newer signal is reported by radio-locator to be MUCH less power... says 150 watts? Not sure if that's an error or something. The elevation of the antenna is supposed to be double what it was before, so that could be the difference. According to the coverage maps, projected coverage improves somewhat to the south, but also diminishes a bit to the north and northeast (where there's lesser populated areas). I don't know what they could do to get better penetration even further south toward San Jose, it may not be possible depending on what's already on the dial.

Yes, sorrry... San Fran not PHX
The DJ was talking about the power being much more, and was welcoming new listerns in diffrent areas. Just cought my ear, was curious what everyone else heard...
One more thing...
Is it just me or is this the best dance station? I dont know what it is but it puts E98 & E-PHX to shame!
thanks

I was down there this past week and E927 is sounding very good! I was able to recieve it all the way to the HWY85-HWY101 interchange in San Jose before it dropped out totally.
There is a country station on 92.7 in the area, which causes issues when you go down towards Monerey.

Credit recently departed PD Chris Shebel for that. He also was responsible for the launch and successful run of Energy radio in Chicago. Hopefully whoever fills his shoes in SF will keep the station on the right track.

Re: Energy 927-SF
Very true. Radio does need to repeat music regularily because the typical listener does not listen 20 hours a day.

Re: Energy 927-SF
I think this is by far the best "emulation" of the old
E927&5 in Chic-a-go. It is very close, much more than
Arizona's E. I was in SF about three weeks ago, listened
to it for a week, then came back home and listened. In just
three days, E927 really has made an effort in playing more
variety and it sounds brilliant! Joey-V (old Chic-a-go voice)
sounds better than ever! Bow down to Chris S.
