11:08 pm. There is no excuse for Tyler Farr, Ill give you that. That is why radio stations stunt when they change their formats in the first place. March 5, 2017 @ And even in there, you have a 28-year-old song from Garth Brooks, a 17-year-old and 10-year-old song from Gary Allan that may have been in the rotation before the change, a 14-year-old Dierks Bentley song, a 13-year-old Brad Paisley song written by Bill Anderson, a single from Kacey Musgraves that bombed on country radio a few years ago, and a song from King George Strait. So the Ranch alienates female listeners and then starts playing Dierks Bentley???!! 2 years ago, I wouldnt have even changed the station from KOKE, now, I frequent KVET because they even do classic country better than KOKE. For independent and Texas country fans who often share a radio with co-workers and are used to hearing these names in the rotation along with Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, and Sam Hunt, theyre probably wondering what all the hubbub is about. Much like 92.5 circa 2005-6, when they switched to Lonestar. Fuck yes. It also must be emphasized here that The Ranch has clearly selected artists from the mainstream that dont represent the worst, but the best of what the mainstream has to offer. There are enough classic rock stations everywhere. Any spots that are going to classic rock sucks, in my opinion. Listen. hoptowntiger94 Local radio is a part of your community. Seriously? In short, we try to create something the greater number of people will love and then we sell those numbers to businesses wanting to reach our listeners in order to stay on the air.

Jackson Burnes exits as the Executive Producer for "Karlson, Mckenzie and Heather" at Classic Rock 100.7 WZLX. If they could get Opry to agree to syndicate, itd be the cherry on top, although I know there is a SiriusXM channel that has it, so there might be contract issues there. But this is the reason country music these days marks a dividing line of the culture war. March 5, 2017 @ Their DJs are much more like able as well. You know what that means. Just looking at this station playlist, it looks good, there is nothing close to this in my market. Wayne D, Tay & Bama Weekday Mornings On 98.1 KVET! You are fake news.

They changed the format back days ago. Trigger Listeners of The Ranch have a legitimate concern that it might only be one or two songs an hour right now added from mainstream playlists, but it could go to one quarter, then a third, then half, and completely flip some day if the incremental moves are effectivesort of mission creep if you will, but on your radio dial. And those two songs, highlighted in red below, which are My Church by Maren Morris, and Vice by Miranda Lambert, are both critically acclaimed singles from women, both of which were nominated for Best Country Song at the 2017 Grammy Awards, both artists are from Texas, and both arguably represent some of the best music in the mainstream. Id rather hear classic rock or pre -2000 country over 99% of current pop/bro/mainstream radio country, but wouldnt trade either for a Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn or Ray Wylie Hubbard song or Shane Smith & the Saints. Lordstown Motors Corp., a provider of electric light-duty trucks focused on the commercial fleet market, and global technology company Hon Hai Technology Group have agreed to work jointly on Lordstown Motors' electric vehicle (EV) programs in Lordstown Motors' 6.2 million square foot production and assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio.

Id rather hear Josh Turners Home Town Girl than anything by CCR when Im listening to what I think is supposed to be a country station. 12:16 pm. Zackary Kephart I actually welcome some of the artists you mentioned for some variety, as Im apparently not as hard-core pure country as many on herewhatever the heck that is! The list you posted is very similar to the mix one hears on Outlaw. Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell have always been regular spins, along with more Americana and Red Dirt artists. KOKE also plays Southern Rock icons, Grateful Deads Truckin along with the Texas and Outlaw Icons. I really wish people would think outside the box sometimes I completely understand why The Ranch added different music to its playlist Radio stations HAVE to play to their audience If a station can add a few more songs to draw a larger listener base, that is more revenue when they go to clients for advertising. At least I would have a little more respect for them. Im about 20 miles NE of Bucyrus and have a hard time picking that up. If so, hopefully the sharks smelling mainstream blood will win. But there is still work to do to get those artists to the next level, and a massive gulf between the popularity of mainstream and independent artist.

March 5, 2017 @ Trigger, Im curious as to your opinion of who would be the main target audience for mainstream country radio over the next few years. March 5, 2017 @ After honoring the tradition of . Didnt see anyone complaining about the classic rock added, but I can understand why some would be angered. March 5, 2017 @ I was just trying to make a narrow point that the mainstream artists they did add, at least in regards to this specific playlist, were two women. Ive never been one of the I dont listen to that Nashville crap. The other possibility is for animal rights organizations, the ASPCA and such. I found it particularly ironic that anyone was complaining about Miranda being on the playlist considering her love and support of both the music and artists nonsensical complaint, imo. I do not live in this area, but I hope the format doesnt get any worse than this. 2:27 pm. I like that theyre playing Dwight Yoakum now. Sometimes you know the artist, sometimes you dont. I find this change to be extremely disappointing and hypocritical; and their excuses for doing it are total bullshit. However my complaint with KOKE goes beyond even the music scheduling. 6:59 pm. Regarding the playlist, I dont care for Maren Morris, and What Was I Thinking sounds like a semi bro country song to me. I spent hours last night culling through complaints from former listeners of The Ranch, and they were all about Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, and Nashville pop. Even now thats what Im seeing. Dont see how theyre putting The Rolling Stones in that category with no complaints. These women make GREAT country music. Although . The question is not what The Ranch is playing now, but where the station could be headed in the future, and if it may entice other Texas country stations to consider similar moves, especially if The Ranch format tweak is successful luring in new ears. While Heather stated her reasons for choosing to leave the show, her castmates and fellow housewives had a few things to say about why they thought she left. Back to The Red Dirt Rebel as soon as they get their stream fixed. The Ranch has always played Miranda, Kasey & Maren with ZZ Top, Skynard & SRV mixed in with Willie, Merle & Waylon. In this sample, no Sunny Sweeney, no Bri Bagwell, no Sarah Hobbs. Former Ranch Fan Miranda made the big-time and has been rewarded for it, but its hard to see how anyone would question that she is Texas and she is country. March 5, 2017 @ "Fox News and Heather Childers have parted ways. IF this is really a listener requested change 95.9 should share the data that is driving the change. This comes from someone that has listened to the Ranch from 5am till 3-4 pm 5 days a week for past 10+ years. Their Night format is all Texas Red Dirt along with Sturg and many of the alt country/Americana artists. Depending on the amount of classic rock compared to previously, the percentage of change could be greater than 81.5% , but this would NOT be because of pop or mainstream country. But they mostly play the same crap that most of the big commercial mainstream country stations play. March 5, 2017 @ the other day I start a Turnpike Troubadours station on my Amazon app on the fire stick. When I go home, Ill turn it on now and its still better than whats it Columbus, but nothing like it used to be like you said Farmer Brian. This obsession with Maren Morris is utterly dumbfounding. If they want to play classics from current mainstream artists, they should stick to songs like Should Have Been a Cowboy or Where the Green Grass Grows.. 10:03 pm. Im not feeling very positive about this change. That is why its important for listeners to voice their opinions. Theyre complaining about Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, etc. No Springsteen?

Create a tent above the pot with a plastic bag to give the plant humidity, encouraging rooting. Quite serves me well too. And Texans can smell that a mile away. I think this is exactly the playlist I would want transplanted to my local radio station. Lee Ann Womack Last Call Further to that, I can say in 15 years of listening I have never ever wished I could hear these alternative songs during my Ranch listening time and now I find myself just turning it off when these songs come on, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for the rest of the day (in fact I just turned it off when The Joker came on). I use Outlaw Nations app a lot as well, although it seems glitchy at times and seems to get a bit repeative after a while. Mirandas version of Dry Town is the only time I dont prefer the composers original version. Like I said, I did not have a proper snapshot to make a perfect comparison between the old and new playlist. That was the impact of great music & a great station had now that impact is somewhat diluted like adding coke to 20 yr old whiskey, you can do it but why? I dont understand why youd hear Florida Georgia Line at all, unless youre in a bar or somewhere that someone plays them on the jukebox, or maybe in a store with the clerk having a radio on? It can be a fun change of pace. Marens Church song is ok but the others are definitely more pop. True country fans, especially ones that have been listening to The Ranch for years as a safe harbor from pop country, are so diametrically opposed to mainstream music, they would rather hear rock or pop invade their radio station than even the best of what country radios mainstream stations play. Just turn it off. Maybe the Ranch can package Alcohol or tequila makes he clothes fall off with something like Sangria Wine, Bourbon Legend or Swerve. I love Lamberts current album & would be great to hear some on her ballads especially on Texas radio. Leave classic rock to a classic rock station, that includes Stevie Ray Vaughn, thank you. IHeartMedia and Cumulus are up to their ears in debt with no plan of how to get out of it, streaming continues to take market share, and the music sucks. Its disingenuous. Dont program like the big boys do. 12:34 pm. Angelo Rinaldi If you take that into account, along with the clearly more mainstream country, and the other genres (where do the Lumineers fall?) March 5, 2017 @ Correction. Make a hole in the soilless mix with your finger, or optionally, a pencil. The irony is Nashville country stations are finally catching onto the popularity of Texas/Red Dirt music and are trying to play catch up. Christian Coalition Right Wing Conservatives 2:59 pm. Were Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Clapton, and Seger played before this change (could be a shot at grabbing some classic rock listeners)? Farmer Brian Amanda Holden has revealed that she quit Wild At Heart for the sake of her daughter. I agree that songs like Night Moves and Jack and Diane are far from classic country, though they have been around for several decades, long before the millennials took over our airwaves with their hip hop culture. For Texas country fans you have the Turnpike Troubadours, Cody Jinks, Jack Ingram, Stoney LaRue, William Clark Green, and the Randy Rogers Band. Im happy that they seem to be upping the female songs. In a just country music landscape ,far more authentic music and honest , talented artists should be trickling through onto the mainstream playlists rather than the other way around . Perfecto! Overall, I get the frustration from long-time listeners. Commercial radio is increasingly bland because advertisers spend a lot to have radio ads and they want max listeners in return for their spend. Brent Cobb Black Crow Former Ranch Fan They have made some minor adjustments to accommodate the Bay Areas progressive culture, such as occasionally playing a Brandy Clark song, or such as not boycotting the Dixie Chicks during the 2003 Iraq War. March 5, 2017 @ January 16, 2023, 09:26 PM. I get that. Right, so we should also remove Turnpike Troubadours, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Stony LaRue, and Merle Haggard?
