Louisiana’s ‘Star 101.9′ Flips to Urban AC ‘Mix 101.9′ 
CHR-Top40 “Star 101.9″ KNOE-FM, Monroe, Louisiana, flips to Urban AC “Mix 101.9″ offering “Monroe’s R&B and Classic Soul.” The station, established in 1967, is currently owned by The Radio People and the broadcast license is held by Radio Monroe. As “Star 101.9″ KNOE-FM had been waging an uphill battle with crosstown Opus Broadcasting CHR-Top40 “Hot 103.1″ KQLQ-FM. Among KNOE-FM’s six sister stations is Urban “100.1 The Beat” KRVV-FM, which recently has topped the ratings in the market. With the success of the Urban station, the Urban AC format for KNOE-FM is seen as a natural by observers there. A planned new website at Mix1019.net has not yet been activated. However, the new format is streaming live on the old “Star” site at www.StarRadioMonroe.com. Depite the old logo and now outdated content on that website, the audio stream is Urban AC and has liners identifying “Mix 101.9 – Monroe’s R&B and Classic Soul.” KNOE-FM was founded in 1967 by former Louisiana Governor James A. Noe, who had earlier started Monroe’s KNOE-AM in 1944 and KNOE-TV in 1953. In 1936, he also acquired an AM station in New Orleans which he renamed WNOE-AM, and in 1968 started New Orleans station WNOE-FM.
In case anyone cares… I HATE IT! I rarely listen to 100.1 because they play the same songs over and over. PLUS the DJs if you want to call them that are not knowledgeable in Hip Hop/ Rap/ R&B. Anna & myself could do a WAYYYYYYY better of a job!
Plus Rickey Smiley is still being played every morning so why on earth would I turn to the station!
