Both stations went off the air at 8 pm tonight. I was flipping back and fourth between the stations when I stepped out of my car for a few minutes. When I came back, both were silent.

At 9:50 pm, 107.1 is back on identifying as "Positive hip-hop for Denver, Kingdom 107.1." 101.5 is still off the air.

Kingdom (another one for 107.1's history book).. Positive Hip Hop? Is there such a thing called that? And well ok.. so Denver is filled up with tons of Christians stations.. KRKS, WayFM, K -Lov.. And Air One... Now this? Sad that this happened, Denver lost a great Jammin station.
To bad the owner of Max Media couldn't think about who else he could have sold those two stations to other then Piller of Fire. I am sure they well not get many accounts with those 2 stations.. They couldn't even set up a stream for 101.5.. So I hope a denver station well think about switch to Jammin format and bring it back.

I have never heard of Positive Hip Hop either. I've heard of other " Positive" genres of music but Positive Hip Hop, That's a first

Well I couldn't find much on Up beat Hip Hop Music anywhere... so another doom format for 107.1 again.. I wonder why the owner of Max Media went with Pillar of Fire in the first place? And is anyone going to listen to Star 101.5 at all?
I wonder about that?
