Kisstory sounds a good idea but on the normal kiss the kisstory songs are the same every day so I think it will be the same 100 songs on repeat with lots of r &b which is NOT what the original Kiss was about. Hope I'm wrong though.
Doesn't setting Subtitles stop the MHEG screen coming up?
On older sets yet, newer ones tend to display subtitles on top of MHEG (fortunately my tv does allow you to turn the display off and use the speakers only (a point which is now moot as my media centre displays pretty pictures instead ))

when i listened to kiss in the early 90s there was lots of r&b and rare groove. i didnt listen in the illegal days but djs such as trevor nelson played r&b.
there was very little dance on daytime kiss
"#Kisstory on @kissfmuk all day. Monday -'Kisstory' station launch Tuesday 2pm .It'll be different to what you hear - Anoraks take note "
It's possible that we may hear some underground vibes as well as forgotten gems from the past.
Reggae, hip-hop, Drum n Bass, Trance, etc.
Thing is.. Would they ask ex-Kiss FM jocks to comeback and present old skool shows? Like Fabio, Westwood, Judge Jules? Think that would be an interesting Idea.
With Dave Pearce's Dance classics being successful on Radio 2, and that Kisstory will be on Freeview. Don't see a reason why they shouldn't?
Quite surprised that Q is still broadcasting on freeview and Kisstory hasn't appeared yet.
Judging from the EPG info that 10am was close down, that was when I thought the change over would have been, especially if Heat is also changing EPG number, i wouldn't have thought it would be as easy a change over as just renaming Q as Kisstory on the same EPG number.
Musicmasterprox: May I ask why Saturday Night Kiss is a joke?
Unlike Friday when it's a bit more variety in specialized music. All you hear on snk are the remixes of well known overplayed anthems till around about 4am. Should at least pull Smart's show back till 4pm (Dance Anthems rival). Bring that new kid in from 7-10pm and start heading underground till around 4am

I know that, just surprised they haven't got the EPG changed and stations correctly showing before then.
Most station launches, changes are done before the launch time, If it was just a name change,I could see Q just stopping then kisstory starting but from info out there, heat was moving from 714 as well
I heard the launch sequence online. Was pretty good with clips of songs "from your childhood" followed by in intro from Ricky & Melvin and that bird from the breakfast show.
First tune Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy, followed by Robin - With Every Heartbeat and Luniz - I Got 5 On It.
Glad its not just me, TV says service not available and going to where TV put Q gets a few seconds on audio then cuts out.
Did hear the launch online, but considering Q closed at 10, I was really surprised the changeover wasn't all done much earlier than it was, even if it meant kisstory was running same message as stream about come back at 2pm

You could hear it on the mobile app, but there doesn't appear to be a link on the website yet.

14:09 Audio on 714.
Agree, listened to the 1st 90 minutes, and it has been pretty good.
