https://i0.wp.com/radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2019/04/koolfm.png?resize=200%2C200&ssl=1Audacy Classic Hits 94.5 KOOL-FM (https://www.audacy.com/kool) Phoenix began stunting just after 10am this morning.
KOOL-FM is currently looping the sound of jingling sleigh bells with occasional sweepers from “Santa” promoting “something special” coming soon. We reported in our 9/27 Domain Insight (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/netgnomes/243113/domain-insight-9-27-climate-change-to-affect-94-5-kool-fm-phoenix/) on the expected new branding of KOOL-FM.
The final songs logged before the start of stunting were Boston “More Than A Feeling” and Foreigner “I Want To Know What Love Is”.
KOOL-FM currently ranks fifteenth (https://radioinsight.com/ratings/phoenix/) in the Phoenix market with a 3.0 share. Once a dominant player in the market, the station has been chipped away at by the addition of multiple other gold based stations in the Phoenix area including Desert Valley Media Group’s Oldies “94.9/95.1 The Wow Factor (https://951thewowfactor.com)” KOAI, iHeartMedia Variety Hits “95.5 The Mountain (https://955themountain.iheart.com)” KYOT, Sierra H Broadcasting’s duo of Classic Hip Hop “101.1 The Bounce (https://101bounce.com)” KZCE and Rhythmic Oldies “Mega 104.3 (https://www.mega1043.com)” KAJM.
A change would also mark the end of the station using its KOOL-FM calls as its branding, as the station has for its entire history dating back to its sign-on in 1960. The station was one of the first stations to go Oldies in 1971 and evolved to Classic Hits with the majority of format in the late 2000s.
