But while there are still a couple of mainstream acts that cater to that demographic (Tim McGraw and Little Big Town come to mind), they seem to be much less predominant in the country genre these days. to be played on the radio and now more stations are playing artists like them. When are they going to get an XM station just for the Texas/Red Dirt scene? And yes, it is alarming to see this marginal, but clear change of format from 95.9 The Ranch.

I absolutely love KOKEs format and playlist and I am probably one of the bigger anti-country mainstream guys out there. Granted, Im also our only country music DJ, so I get why people dont tune into the station all that often :p. Personally I like the above playlist, it represents a nice balance, a coming together of many different worlds that all exist under the country music world if you will. That's where the "Bama" nickname came from. The generic aspect of the sound- the lyric content , the melody , the grooves , the phrasing , the production, the arrangements and the vocalists becomes overwhelmingly boring and un-stomachable ( yes Im making that a word ) beyond 3-4 tunes .

I think that they are clearly trying to show the musical influences of artists and highlighting the mainstream artists that have made it big time, but are still keeping it country Hats off to The Ranch and my good friend Justin Frazell and what they are doing for Texas Red Dirt music, but let us not forget, those mainstream artists they are playing, at one time, they were a nobody just trying to be heard.

I know youre just relying on info given to you, but for those of us who have listened to this station for a decade or more, it was quite clear that 10% is a laughable statistic. Yes, the producers did her dirty, but it had to be for a reason. only they arent asking for input from listeners, they just changed it. On stations I have had the opportunity to program, my research has found the typical listener is familiar with and likes other music than simply a more hardcore country sound.

Thus, I understand the inclusion of the classic rock (and I mean songs that rock and top 40 stations played at the time). Country maybe. If so, hopefully the sharks smelling mainstream blood will win. And yes, maybe some of the worst I missed in my specific 54-song bloc. March 6, 2017 @ As for me, Ive turned off The Ranch.
