96.9 The Beat Launches In Topeka
Posted: 14 Jul 2022 10:30 AM PDT
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/232470/topeka-move-in-stunting-ahead-of-format-launch/
Intrepid Companies launched Hip Hop/R&B 96.9 The Beat KQRB Effingham/Topeka
KS at noon today.
The station will feature DeDe In The Morning, D-R Jamz in afternoons and
Slow Jams with R-Dub at night. The new station is launching with 1969 songs commercial-free with the debut featuring Earth, Wind & Fire In The Stone,
Latto Big Energy, Monica For You I Will, Missy Elliott Lights, Camera,
Action!, and DJ Khaled featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper
and Lil Wayne Im The One.
The new number one radio station for R&B, Hip-Hop, and Throwbacks in Topeka
and Lawrence will launched at noon today, playing 1,969 Beats In A Row, broadcasting at 96.9 KQRB-FM and streaming worldwide at 969TheBeat.com.
The new station is owned by Intrepid Companies LLC. Intrepid’s corporate office is headquartered in Topeka, making The Beat the only locally owned commercial radio station in the area.
Intrepid managing partner Don Sherman said being close to the community is empowering for listeners.
“Being a locally owned radio station means we can be flexible, respond to what the listeners want, and super-serve our communities,” Sherman said. “The music, engaging on-air personalities, and news our audience can use
will lead to increased listenership that crosses barriers like age and
race.”
The Beat is home to a mix of local, regional, and national radio
personalities, such as the nationally syndicated DeDe In The Morning show. Listeners can call the local studio line 8-333-969-969 toll free to make
song requests, win station swag, and send shout-outs.
Starting at noon today, listeners can scan the QR Code at 969TheBeat.com to have the The Beat web app delivered immediately to their phone. Android and
iOS apps are also in development. Users of either app will have the
ability to record a message for broadcast, listen to the stream, and
interact with the station using their devices.
“Our goal at The Beat is to embrace and super-serve the community on-air, online, and on the streets,” Sherman said. “This station build is a two year labor of love and we are ready, willing, and excited to be part of the fabric of Topeka and Lawrence.”
The primary target demographic is adults aged 18-54 who love R&B, Hip-Hop
and Throwback music. Sherman is accepting inquiries from Topeka and
Lawrence businesses for a limited number of charter strategic partnerships
at sustainable low advertising rates. Partners that value the millions of dollars in buying power of this untapped and underserved audience will
remain at locked-in unprecedented low rates as long as their contract is in effect.
Special events and live remotes will also be available.
“The R&B radio audience has a long history of being very loyal. Businesses will get a lot of bang for their buck and we will help them see the
results,” Sherman said. “The smallest of businesses can be on our station if they partner for the long-term. Win-Win”
Building a brand new, full-power terrestrial radio station from the ground
up is rare in modern broadcasting. Sherman has a passion for radio borne of extensive industry experience. From 2000-2007, he owned Sherman Broadcast Group, based in Wichita, Kan. At that time, he was the first
African-American majority radio station owner in Kansas.
Of nearly 12,000 AM/FM commercial radio stations in the country, only 168
are African-American owned.
“It’s fitting that Topeka and Lawrence now has the 169th station, based on the rich history of diversity, equity and inclusion of both communities.
The Beat will also add to our quality of place as we attract diverse talent
to the area. Visitors that love R&B can tune into a local radio station
that plays music that they enjoy,” Sherman said.
Since 2007, Sherman has operated stations in Wichita Falls, Texas, and
Wichita, Kan. while also offering radio station consulting through Intrepid Companies.
“July 1 marked 22 years in the radio industry and it’s rewarding to look back and reflect on everything that’s brought us to this point,” Sherman said. “The last two years getting this station to launch through supply
chain challenges and pandemic related delays makes this launch very
special. I hope the community feels the same way!”
This soft launch will feature 1,969 Beats In A Row. Regular programming
will begin Monday, July 18th at 5 a.m. with DeDe In The Morning, D-R JAMZ
in the afternoon, and R-Dub Slow Jams at night. The station is also seeking local talent from both Topeka and Lawrence for on-air and sales. Candidates
can apply at 969TheBeat.com.

Original Report 7/11: Intrepid Companies has completed its move-in and
upgrade of 96.9 KQRB (formerly KDVB) Effingham KS into the Topeka market
and has begun stunting ahead of launching its new format on Thursday, July
14 at 12pm.
Donald and Denise Sherman’s Intrepid Companies purchased then KDVB in March 2021 for $300,000. Intrepid upgraded the signal to a Class C2 with
50kW/114m to cover both Topeka and Lawrence. The station previously
simulcasted Classic Rock “V100” KDVV Topeka.
KQRB is currently stunting with a mix broad mix of music. Many of the songs include the word Beat in the title such as The Go-Gos We Got The Beat,
Michael Jackson Beat It, Taylor Dayne With Every Beat Of My Heart, and
Celine Dion Where Does My Heart Beat Now. Other songs are less obvious with their connection to the potential format such as Toby Keith How Do You Like
Me Now, Led Zeppelin Stairway To Heaven, David Bowie Fame, and Prince 1999.
Cumulus originally won the KDVB license in an FCC Auction in 2004 where it
was originally to operate on 96.7 in Humboldt NE. They applied to move it
to Effingham as a C2 in 2007 but only built out as a low powered Class A
once Cumulus cancelled its plans to move 107.7 KMAJ-FM into the Kansas City market preventing the company from fitting KDVB within the ownership limits
in its Topeka cluster.
The Shermans previously owned a cluster in Wichita KS and operated one
station in Wichita Falls TX.

https://radioinsight.com/headlines/233071/kiis-fm-promotes-sisanie-to-music-director/
iHeartMedia CHR 102.7 KIIS-FM Los Angeles has promoted morning
co-host/music coordinator Sisanie Villaclara to Music Director.
She will continue to co-host On Air with Ryan Seacrest in mornings on
KIIS-FM as she has since December 2015. She has spent her entire career at iHeartMedia starting as an intern in 2004 and worked part-time at the
companys San Diego cluster while in college. Upon graduation she joined
KIIS-FM as midday host in 2007 and would also host middays at Channel 93.3 KHTS-FM San Diego from 2008 to 2015 and was a national CHR overnight host
from 2009 until joining the morning show.
Sisanie takes the MD duties that had been held by Beata Murphy until her promotion to Program Director of KIIS-FM last December.
iHeartMedia Los Angeles’ KIIS FM, Los Angeles’ #1 Hit Music Station, announced today that Sisanie, the co-host of the station’s top-rated
morning show “On Air with Ryan Seacrest,” has been named Music Director, effective immediately. iHeartMedia Los Angeles has a strong cross-platform presence and includes a number of iconic brands and franchises — both broadcast and digital — encompassing eight stations comprised of music,
talk and news formats.
Sisanie started hosting middays on KIIS FM in July of 2007. A couple of
years later, she added middays for sister station KHTS-Channel 933 in San Diego. During this time, Sisanie also had her own national show, which was heard on over 100 CHR iHeartMedia radio stations including major markets
such as Y100/Miami and more. In October of 2015, Sisanie became the co-host
for “On Air with Ryan Seacrest,” which is broadcasted on L.A.’s #1 Hit Music Station 102.7 KIIS FM weekday mornings in Los Angeles, CA and
syndicated worldwide. In addition, Sisanie hosts her podcast, “Twinning
with Sisanie.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to promote Sisanie from the Music Coordinator position to Music Director,” says Beata Murphy, Program Director for KIIS
FM. “Sisanie’s work ethic is unmatched, and she is someone who I have relied on for years. She is an absolute rock star. Now, in addition to co-hosting our massive morning show, Sisanie will also be working closely
with me to build stronger relationships with our record label partners,
working on the music architecture of the station, and the overall sound of
this legendary station. KIIS is lucky to have Sisanie in the new elevated capacity.”
“My passion for music is something that is unmeasurable,” said Sisanie. “Working for KIIS-FM, a station that I grew up listening to, has been a
dream and officially becoming Music Director is the icing on the cake! I
want to thank Beata Murphy for wanting to continue this journey with me.
Thank you Ryan Seacrest for being one of my biggest supporters and always cheering me on with every milestone in life. I also feel so honored that
Tom Polman, John Peake and Alexis Ginas believe in me to not only take on
this role but to continue to co-host mornings. And to my KIIS fam, I love
you all… LET’S GOOOO!”

https://radioinsight.com/headlines/233058/teddy-mora-departs-power-106-mornings/
After twelve years at Meruelo Media Hip Hop Power 106 KPWR Los Angeles, the last three in mornings, Teddy Mora exited the station at the end of June.
Mora had been hosting a Saturday night show at KPWR until June 2019 when he joined Nick Cannons morning show. When Cannon was moved to middays in
August 2021, he took over as lead host and has been paired with Letty since November.
As part of his departure announcement Mora wrote, I came to Power as a lost
kid who had just gone through the worst pain in his life and leave as a man
who is in awe of all the miracles and blessings he has received! I’m
grateful for the memories relationships that were made during my time at
Power but I’m very aware this is just the beginning. The only thing that pains me is that for the time being I won’t be able to laugh, joke speak
to you LA! I’ve shared every bit of my life story you have done the same. Every caller whether we aired it or not means the world to me.
Letty continues in mornings with the station yet to disclose its future
plans for the daypart.
