Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage

[Pokecheque]

In my mind, KBPI is supposed to be 105.9.

107.9 should be Y108.

I don't think Y108 was ever 107.9, it was 107.5.

No there was a 107.9

 

[Pokecheque]

Memory banks are a bit faulty these days, I'm sure you're both right.

 

[5280]

Wasn't there a 93.3 or something at one point? I think my speed dials used to go
93.3 97.3 103.5 105.9 and 106.7....

Wait, did Channel 93.3 (KTCL) go away now!?

But yeah, that was almost exactly my car radio setup in my teenage years. I also listened to a ton of 96.5 The Peak.

Ahhhh, forgot about the Peak!

Yeah, I haven't lived in Denver for somewhere around 12 years. KTCL might still be a thing.

Denver radio got kinda rough for me right before I moved away in 2010 (coming up on ten years...wow). Jack FM died, The Peak was changed to a Spanish music channel, leaving me with The Fox, KBPI, and 93.3, and the latter two were playing a lot of stuff I just didn't like because I was, well, old. The stations here in Lincoln aren't much better. Subscribed to Sirius XM a couple years back and haven't looked back since. I listen to NHL Radio mostly.

 

[Tweaky]

My memory could be faulty, it has been 30 years since I lived in CO full time.

The Peak was the best music station Denver's ever seen. I still have their 2 disc set from their in-studio performances. Legendary.

KTCL is still around - much more mainstream than they were though back in the day.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

before KILO, I remember listening to KYSN, with hits like:

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

BSN is the best currently. Dater is very hit/miss, but AJ and Jesse are usually spot on as long as they dont add out about something non-hockey related.

Denver Post and Mile high Sticking are both pretty bad imo.

 

[McMetal]

Man, I used to listen to KBPI all the time as a kid. Not for years though, the risk that I may hear Breaking Benjamin is too great.

If I listen to FM radio now, it's 103.1. Stand-up comedy clips 24/7, never gets old.

 

[Pokecheque]

I remember in the interim between KBPI leaving 105.9 and Alice (uggggggghhh) taking over, they played nothing but movie clips. Apparently there really are radio stations out there that play audio clips from classic films and apparently they're pretty popular. Or at least they were back in the day, this was years before YouTube (or even the Internet) became a thing.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Sooooo BSN is now behind a pay wall?

 

[CobraAcesS]

Sooooo BSN is now behind a pay wall?

Looks like it, lol

 

[Avalanche]

Sooooo BSN is now behind a pay wall?

jlol. Well won't read that no more

 

[Balthazar]

Sooooo BSN is now behind a pay wall?

Gotta generate some money. I doubt those gambling and booze ads in the AVS podcast pay for Dater's traveling expenses, let alone their salaries.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Sooooo BSN is now behind a pay wall?

LOL that's laughable. I'm not a cheap person by any means. but I sure as hell wont be subscribing to this. You better build a better reputation than what they currently have before you start asking for money. I'll miss TMV's player grades but that's about it.

 

[UncleRisto]

LMAO.

Yeah, too bad about TMV's player grades.

 

[Pokecheque]

Bummer. I’m not against paywalls by default but I don’t think I can pony up the cash for that and The Athletic.

 

[Bonzai12]

if The Athletic goes on sale again I'm going to buy in

 

[Foppberg]

LOL woooow.. That is ridiculous. I thought they were just going to have an option to subscribe and not see/hear ads but nope. They're in no way at a level where they can actually expect people to pay for this, they're not ESPN or The Athletic, they're a very very niche market and this will only drive people away imo. Do this in like 2, 3 years if things are looking really good, but not now.

 

[henchman21]

It is honestly worth every penny. I'll be done with BSN now... hopefully The Athletic hits Denver soon.

 

[Ararana]

Sucks to not get Evan's player grades, but lets face it the only thing of any value at BSN are their twitter feeds and podcasts.

Daters game day coverage was good at times. I always found it interesting that he'd put it in at the tail end of some other story though. It was pretty clear that some details just were not valued.

I'm hoping for an Athletic Denver soon too.
