WDVD is playing too much kiddie music

Post by MWmetalhead » Tue May 21, 2019 9:04 pm

I dislike what the new OM/PD has done to the station.

He's turned it into WKQI-lite. Or at least that's what he seems to be attempting to do.

I dislike the new imaging (including removal of all jingles), and I really dislike how narrowly focused the playlist has become.

The new imaging sounds a lot like the stuff 98.7 Damp Radio was using a few years ago (pre-Chris Corley). The fake Mojo-like bits during the morning show are LAME. I bet Blaine hates having to play along with that shit.

Evidently, 98.7 & 104.3 have become the secondary choices for WNIC P1's more so than 96.3, so I can only surmise the new OM/PD feels there's more upside for 96.3 by positioning the station closer to WKQI.

What is exactly Kiddie Music? It sounds like your referring to Raffi or The Wiggles.

I was just about to say the same thing- i was wondering when it was going to get brought up here

they are nothing like they were even a month ago. they are way past what they have ever been

are they really trying to fill the void left by AMP...why?? so they can pull a 2 share

I hope they get sold sooner than later. looks like there is an opening for a real hot AC in Detroit now

WDVD still plays jingles. I heard several today, including the top of every hour, so...
As for music, current wise they pretty much match the media base HOT AC chart.
I also wonder if they've lost some white females to Bounce, which has moved much more mainstream in the last several weeks. They seem to have cut back on the heavy urban music, at least during the day. I've heard Hollaback Girl, Tom's Diner and Mariah Carey just in the last week, along with more Timberlake cuts. Stuff they wouldn't have touched 6 months ago, when they were puling low/mid 3 shares.

Armchair - I heard no TOH sung jingles over three hours of listening yesterday. I did hear one jingle played three times over that period (around :15 or :20 after the hour).

The biggest difference by far in music selection from 30 days ago is the selection of gold. It is now heavily rhythmic leaning, and the median song age has been reduced sharply.

The station is plugging its stupid War of the Roses knockoff heavily (including at the top of every hour last night).

You raise a very good point about the station potentially reacting to the Bounce. 105.1 has been top three in A25 to 54 lately; I bet that includes plenty of white females.

Well,considering the crap on the radio today,I could be a recording star ,especially with Autotune ( or whatever they call it which disguises a bad singer's cruddy voice ),plus my boyish good looks 45 days before my 66th birthday,which today is seemingly 75% of what an "artist" requires to be a star today ,regardless of talent . (This is especially true in Country music, where everyone is a stud or babe .)

What is the definition of "Kiddie Music" btw?
I'm hearing 90s and 2000s music still.
They still play 80s on the weekends.


Music is my life.

Backtraxx USA is the only time you'll hear 80s music. Hardly anyone listens to the radio on Sunday night.
