KREV The Revolution 92.7 FM

Ok well Im not going to read every single hateful review but I thumbed through quite a few and I definitely was not expecting all that lol.
To be completely honest I dont really know what the hell is going on over there on the peninsula and to be frank its not really of consequence to me anyway. Im an oakland native so whatever. That being said I had no prior knowledge of kwhatever the hell before I just randomly discovered the new krev a few weeks ago.
I have to say Im really surprised its so greatly disliked but I am actually exceedingly happy with the station. I saw a post about «Who listens to this station?» Well the thing I enjoy about it is that yes they play the same top 40 garbage as 106.1 and 94.9 yet they do not play the same shit over and over again because there is a more combination format. Rather than all hip hop or all pop there is also rock and alternative. Correct me if im wrong but there are no other stations in the east bay that play that particular combo. Its great for me because I mostly listen to hip-​hop and rap, some pop stuff, but i do acually enjoy rock/​alternative, i just dont ever hear it anywhere on the radio, and also no, i dont want to hear only that crap ALL THE TIME either so I think that KREV’s name is not only appropriate in that they have in my opinion successfully integrated different genres on one station but also maybe will suggest a new trend in which are music will cease to be segregated. Because people that only listen to one damn thing are frankly pretty boring.
If the station fails oh well, its not that serious. And sorry techno people. Dance/​House/​techno/​industrial all that shit is cool for when youre drunk in a club but no way in hell do i wanna hear that crap in the morning or on the way back home in the afternoon. Sucks for you

what in the hell is this crap?! and WHERE did my dance music go!?! it’s déjà vu of what happened in Miami when they eliminated their dance station.
Thank god for XM Sirius radio! dance music with NO commericals or DJ’s who try to be funny

THE REVOLUTION SUCKS! Can I tell you how much I hate this stupid radio station? I hate it with a passion.
I miss Energy soooooooooo much. I can’t even listen to the radio anymore. Don’t we have enough sh*tty radio stations exactly like the Revolution?
Thank god for the Unilocal MIXTAP EVENT, where I somehow ended up with someone’s energy mix (I’m so lucky, thank you Andrew T). I need to google some Energy playlists. Anyone have any recommendations?
RIP Energy. I will miss you. You were the best for getting ready in the morning, getting ready before going out, all the time. What happened? Why did they go off the air?

In the four years that I have Unilocaled, I have never given out a 1 star rating. I wanted to reserve that one star for something that really deserved it. And I think I found it today.
This morning’s «Automated Suicide Prevention Hotline» skit was not funny at all. It’s not that I find it a sick subject. The skit itself just wasn’t even funny. The jokes were terrible and it was a convoluted boring piece. They tried but it was soooooooooo lame. I was actually embarrassed for them. And what exactly is this music mix? It’s a mishmash of everything.

Thank you, KREV. Thank you for finally motivating me to cancel my Verizon service, shell out mad cash for an iPhone, and download the Pandora app so that I can hear it in my iPod jack.
Gotta find the silver lining somewhere.

What they say: 10,000 SONGS IN A ROW!
What they play: 20 songs in a row, repeat.
RIP energy.

This star = stardust particle
+ + +: none

92.7 did play cheesy stuff. BUT it was independent and I respected that along with the DJs they promoted locally. Miss Dimitris Mykonos’s sets, Subzero, Greg & Fernando’s morning show (though not a regular listener), and on and on.
Only radio station that dared to play dance songs. This new management at 92.7 basically sucks. Songs all sound the same and bottom line?
IT’s NO REVOLUTION!
IT’S REVOLTING.

I agree with everything everyone has said. Energy was fun, openly gay friendly, very San Francisco in just about every way. The new station is like something out of George Orwell. And the Bay don’t roll like that.
Dear KREV; Nobody likes you. Love, All of the residents of San Francisco.

I agree with NEGATIVE STARS! Living in South Georgia, this was the only thing that got me through the long days and longer nights. Loved painting my house with Fernando and Greg! What a waste. Homogeny wins again!
Boycott any business that advertises on the station! (Who will be listening to know???)

Fail.

Top 40 took the place of a world renowned dance station? Screw them and the horse they rode in on.
KNGY was my last hope for radio, so good, so interesting! But now that it’s been wiped off the planet why bother locking the car? Let them steal the radio…
I’ll just stick with Pandora on my iPhone.
p. s. And the name «The Revolution» … it’s so ironic …

Horrid…
Appalling…
Rat Bastards killed house music in sf.
bring back Energy 92.7.

Poor Serge must be the DJ over at KREV.
Look San Francisco — we already have 94.9 and 99.7. Did we really need the same 20 songs to be played over and over again ad nauseum on another station?

BARF
Worst station ever. What were they thinking???

I am reposting my review from yesterday, which was removed by Unilocal for privacy issues.

«Revolutions» do NOT go mainstream.
Like most people, I accidentally tuned in to this station last night. The first song was an un-​remixed version of Pink’s «Get This Party Started»… It made my ears bleed. Then some point later, they played a song by Creed– My ears bled even more. If I could give this station negative stars, I would. It doesn’t even deserve one star.
San Francisco does not need another Top40 station. The world does not need another Top40 station. To prevent further bleeding of the ears, I was left with no choice but to remove the 92.7 FM signal preset from my car radio, which has been on my primary preset from day one. I have nothing else really to say about this sorry excuse of a radio station. 40 reviews an counting– unanimously giving this station 1 star. It’s pretty clear that your station is a nothing more than pathetic joke.
If you would like to contact the man responsible for this garbage, you can google the new owner, Mr. Ed Sholtz, who owns Royce International. The FCC website lists contact info as permitted by law.”

No! First Greg Gory missing from my morning commute now Fernando and Greg!!! What’s happening? I hope this is a bad dream!
This sucks, I will miss my Sassy Sports and stories about Rosston TX!
PS When I go to the new station website the contact info is unavailable! Cowards…

Tell me why again… do we need another radio station playing Hip Hip etc?
So its Wild 94.9, Movin 99.7, and 106.1 KMEL?
Now the Reeeeeeev 92.7!
San Francisco really needs a more diverse mix of music on our radio stations!
Pathetic.

NO!
NO!
NO!
Please let this be a joke~ Fernando & Greg are the BEST.
Love hearing about Greg’s mom & chickens as well.
**sad face**

Losing «Energy 92.7» on 9−11−09 by far isn’t as bad as September 11, 2001!
Get over it, people. We can replace a radio-​station, but not lives lost!

What is revolutionary about playing the same top 40 garbage as every other station in the country?
Energy wasn’t just a radio station. It was the pillar of our community. A shining beacon amongst the conglomerate owned mega stations cluttering the airwaves today. Energy is an example of how great radio can be: community focused and forward thinking, with a passion for music and not just an eye toward making a quick buck.
This is a monumental loss.
