X107.5 makes an abrupt about-face - flips to music intensive format that respects the station's roots!

I love this move!!!

New direction reminds me a lot of KPNT in St. Louis.

Dave & Mahoney remain in place in mornings.

Station shot up a full point in the beauty contest ratings in August and went up a smidgen in September as well. Looks like the shift in direction is working for now.

Music choices are spot on. I wish KROQ's playlist looked more like KXTE's.

This is where you baffle me every time. You celebrate stations with “spot on” playlists that are playing Rancid and POD regularly on Alt radio in 2023.

I will repeat for the hundredth time - individual playlists mean very little when everything else around it is poorly executed. What you consider a good playlist is someone else’s trash.
 
Have you seen KXTE's ratings lately? I'd say the music and overall execution are holding up quite well.

Absolutely nothing wrong spiking in Rancid on occasion. Occasional spins from artists like that give the station flavor. Nothing wrong with P.O.D., either.
