In the late 60’s when radio was owned by individuals, a musical
revolution was created by a small band of visionary entrepreneurs that
took chances with musical artist, programmed deep no repeat play lists
and introduced a new sound that became mainstream. The owners of KRYD-FM come from that era and are once again reviving the radio revolution.
With success came ownership change and consolidation. Large corporations
bought up these iconic stations and slowly dismantled them into a
bland cookie cutter play list with a short rotation. Their short
listener attention span of only 12 minutes would attract all ages
and gender at once. That’s why listeners today switch between
a small cluster of tolerable Rock and Country radio stations the
second they hear a cut they do not like.
KRYD-FM has created
a ground breaking new Country-Rock
format that
is a revival of the art of radio broadcasting. The
RIDE’s play
list consists of approximately 5,000 cuts and carefully blends today’s
Country hits with cross over Rock artists that share musical roots.
Artists like The Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, Bob Seger
and The Eagles all came from Country backgrounds. The
RIDE is the
answer for those who like to hear more than the same 50 tunes.
The RIDE targets adults 18-55 with up tempo music and a deep play
list that features no repeat cuts within 18 hours. The
RIDE’s audience listens longer because we play more music, more variety,
and fewer interruptions. Habit forming local news, weather and community
information keeps listeners all day. Tune in to The RIDE today to
hear what everyone will be listening to tomorrow. The RIDE Rocks
Your Country! |
