KNGY Energy 92.7 FM

So. Its been a while since I wrote my «good bye review’. Its now summer 2015, and I still miss you guys! Summers just arent the same.

Energy 92.7 was by far the best radio station of my entire life. Even now in 2015, I still miss it. It brought so much joy to my life, and I think probably the entire Bay Area.
I’ll never forget the day I went to listen to it and discovered it was no longer there. It practically ruined my life; I so much counted on it being there. I know, rather extreme, but it’s just how it was.
I wish the owner turned to the listeners for ideas, funding, support. I am sure we all would have contributed.
That station was so exceptional and so unique in every way. I fear there will never be anything like it again. A horrible, gigantic loss.

Update: 92.7 is crap now.
If you want to find Fernando and Greg and dance music, look at 99.7 FM.

I owe it to myself to really give praise to this station, as years back, this was the station that really introduced me to electronic and trance, and really fueled my energy (no pun intended) and passion for this amazing form of music.
Thank you 92.7 for really changing my life. I never expected a radio station could be such a huge part of myself, even after moving out of the Bay Area and going to school in Southern California. My first memory of 92.7 Party was hearing Ferry Corsten for the first time, and falling in love with the euphoric-​ness of it.
Sure, the station played a lot of oldies at the time, and I think even recently played a lot more Top 40 (I mean, US Top 40 is slowly becoming more and more dance influenced… I like!). But when it played remixes of hits and uplifting trance during the night, I was blown away. Without this station, I would not have known the incredible musical freedom of DJs like Eddie Baez and Jonathan Peters, and global artists including Above & Beyond and Kaskade. I think it still could have stayed around even today with playing only Top 40.
I’m sad to see that it has died. I will miss all the good times. Even though it’s gone, its left an undeniable mark on my life.
Thank you 92.7 for all these years… the energy will live on.

I still love this station to date. It upheld its predecessors quite well and some of the radio shows were really good. Fernando and Greg were and still are a sensation. Nothing like a needed laugh in the morning when you rise from bed.
I really liked the clubbers commute and below zero. I didn’t get to listen to it during the weekday afternoons and whatnot since I was in class.
What I didn’t like was that every hour seemed to replay the previous hour’s songs in a different order. I would’ve thrown in a few of the older dance/​trance songs in there from 92.7 Party, which was my all time favorite. Whenever I heard the ghetto house radio show, I changed the station since that type of music hasn’t really grown on me yet.
I really hope something clouds over the current KREV 92.7, which is pretty whack. I wish I got more memorabilia; all I have is a keychain and maybe one or two stickers. I really liked the headphones T-​shirt that I never even got a chance to see. Long live Energy!

This station and B96 Dance in Chicago tie for the best house music station I’ve ever set my ears on. When I got back to the east coast, I had 92.7 playing almost everyday thanks to the internet.
R.i.P. Energy, you will definitely be missed.

High energy gives me low energy. I grow bored when I listen to it. I hate dancing to it. When it comes down to it, real instruments are more appealing than computer generated beats.
People don’t like high energy enough to warrant a radio station. It all comes down to money and well, there wasn’t enough advertising dollars to justify having this station on the air.
I wonder if Nostradamus predicted that by 2011 all radio stations would be mariachi and country? And this phenomenon would eventually lead to the end of the world in 2012.

A sad day for trance on the radio.
How could they have been SOLD??? =(
I am hurt, I tell ya! HURT!
Radio will never be the same. Or actually… it is all the same! The same songs playing over and over and over again.
So sad…
I’ll miss you, Energy 92.7!!!

Every preset station in the Castro no longer has any meaning.
You will be missed by my gay-​borhood greatly, Energy 92.7.

If i needed a laugh for those rough mornings (and weeks), I would always make sure I tuned into Fernando and Greg. Those guys made me laugh until I had heart attack.
I can’t say I like the programming so much, but it was a much better alternative to the nonsense I’ve heard from other popular stations. Sorry, hip-​hop/​rap took a nose dive and kngy was able to fill that void.

5 Stars for the PREVIOUS KNGY!!!
0 Stars for the NEW one (Sorry, but, airplanes have better music than this)!!!
WTF? I return to work in SF, get in my car, turn on the radio, and… GASP*
Will some other Bay Area radio station PLEASE hire the same crew/​format as the old KNGY?!
Get the message? Got Trance? Got Dance? Music can be such a revelation, Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation???
Well, then, GOOD!!!

Energy was AWESOME. Fernando and Greg ARE San Francisco.
wtf are they playing now? I cant even describe the mix. But its horribly bad.

When I first came to the Bay Area, Energy 92.7 was the one (and only) radio station that I listened to consistently– first for the music, and then for the on-​air personalities.
I’m simply traumatized that they will be leaving, I really don’t wan to be stuck with those tools Sarah and Vinnie or No Name in the morning.

I am going to miss hearing Greg the Gay Sportscaster saying, «If they’re playing with balls, I’m all over it.»
Bummer dude. :(

September 10, 2009… Will this be known as the day the music died? I sure hope not.
Until today, Energy 92.7 has been one of the most exciting, forward-​thinking radio stations in the United States. I count it amongst the top 5 most relevant radio stations broadcasting in the US today. It provides the soundtrack to so many city dwellers in San Francisco and surrounding listening environs. It has powered many of us through some tough times and some seemingly endless days with fun, biting sarcasm, sharp wit, and thumping-​bumping beats.
Thank you to all of Energy’s employees, contributors, and advertisers who have helped to make this station one of the greatest in Our country… pure dance, pure awesomeness. Many sincere thanks to you all.
All good things must, and do, come to an end~

This is one of those things that reminds me why San Francisco is so wonderful. Nonstop electronic party music all day/​night long? A mainstream voice for gay people? Homo vs Hetero games? I even like Fernando & Greg in the morning — and I typically detest morning shows. I have actually bragged about this station to out-​of-​towners.
My radio setting in the car is permanently on this station.
Please don’t take it away. (In denial about awful rumors I’m hearing about the station being bought out by boring-​heads who want to change it over to country or Top 40s (stupid vs inane).
I doubt my car will even tune into other radio stations at this point. My car is loyal like that.

Before KNGY came to be, there was no radio station for me to listen to trancy-​trance-​trance in the Bay Area without tapping a very weak college radio signal at 2AM. Now I get my trance, house, mashups, high energy, and tons of upbeat music whenever I want thanks to KNGY.
Fernando and Greg make my (albeit short) commute bearable, and are the only morning show crew I listen to since I discovered this radio station.
Minus 1 star only because their playlist is small, and they rotate it constantly. However, I recommend listening to their Cardio Radio 2.0 (noon mix) and Mix@6 (evening mix). Amazing stuff goes on there.

I love gay pop music so much it hurts me inside sometimes. The Energy Blast anniversary was fantastic. Michelle Williams, Lady GaGa and Cyndi Lauper were SICK! Lady GaGa even stage dived!
I took off two stars for the racialized jokes that Fernando and Greg kept telling in reference to Asian people. If you can’t be funny without making the Asian community feel more marginalized, then don’t tell jokes. Fernando & Greg, you are NOT Margaret Cho!

I’ve nothing but praise for this awesome station… the guys in the morning are fantastic until I get onto 85 towards San Jose and it turns into a country station!
Thankfully, I can listen wherever I am online at
Finally, a radio station that plays more music than commercials with great mashups and dance beats. Guaranteed to put you in a good mood.

Back in college, during crunch exam/​paper writing time — I would listen to Mariah Carey’s Christmas album on repeat (even when it wasn’t Holiday season), because there was something about Mariah that helped me concentrate and get things done.
«All I want for Christmas» may be the only reason why I graduated on time.
*******************
Fast forward to today.
I barely made it out of bed this morning. I almost fell asleep on the bus.
Today did not look promising.
Until I began listening to 92.7 online…(my new Mariah Carey’s Christmas Album pill)
I am now wide awake, typing along to the beat, and dancing (as best I can) at my desk.
Today is looking to be a productive day… thanks to some great beats and good energy… Energy 92.7.
*******************
Most people don’t know, but I used to have my own radio show in college, for like a night. Um around 2:30 in the morning.
Yes. It was brilliant. I was DJ Love and my counterpart was DJ Dijon. We offered up love advice, played ALOT of Kylie Minogue, and attempted to answer phone call questions as best we could.
It was radio magic.
If I could re-​create that radio magic here in San Francisco, 92.7 would definitely be involved.
As would alot of self-​help books…
