armchair pd,can you read ? ( Oh,that's right,you're a Michigander,which means you've got a 40% chance of being functionally illiterate-and an EIGHTY percent chance of being fugly!!!!!!)
A real tough guy sitting behind that computer in the Windsor library there Cowboy. You wouldn't have the balls to say that to anyones face. You are a very very weak human being. I would hope Rob Otto pulls out that ridiculous audition tape of you at the station, your true IQ showed on that tape , Ron's show, and every time you hit the buzzboard -about the size of a pea at best

Oh, ha ha ha guys.

I was just pointing it out because I was shocked.

When I made that list of songs to bring back from the old playlist, I specifically left out all the Manilow, John Denver, and Kenny Rogers songs because I thought they might be contributing to the low November/December ratings

Madonna is one of the top most played artists on all other Breeze stations around the country with at least 40-60 weekly spins and by far the most played artist from back in the day on AC radio along with Michael Jackson, but WDZH doesn't play her at all. And to think that she is from the Detroit area too...

Obviously they don't play songs that test well so no surprise the ratings are bad.

So you would prefer to hear the same 200 songs every other station plays, rather than "the songs you missed"? Really?

It just shows how completely out of touch they are when they completely ignore the most played female artist in AC radio history(based on the all time Mediabase AC chart from 1998 when tracking began to today).

They do play "Crazy For You", but that is it.
I assume it is because WOMC is already playing her to death

Yes. They stopped playing over half of the original playlist.
They are slowly bringing them back though.
I heard the song recently.

Oh. I completely forgot they also play "La Isla Bonita" (I think I spelled that right, lol).

But you do have a point. Only 2 Madonna songs played only a few times a week is just not acceptable for an AC station

WOMC playing the hell out of her is not an excuse for WDZH not to play her. WOMC plays a lot of Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney but WDZH plays them a lot too and in many cases the same exact songs.

The iHeart Breezes play Crazy For You, Like A Prayer, Live to Tell, Borderline, La Isla Bonita, Take A Bow and more all the time.

It is not like we are asking them to play Vogue and Into The Groove. Lol. Those are for WNIC and WOMC.

Okay you make a good point. I won't try and argue this anymore.
I didn't even occur to me that WOMC is playing a lot of the same songs the Breeze plays now.
When the Breeze first debuted they were pretty much not playing any of the songs OMC plays, but that has since changed.
So now there is no excuse to not play Madonna
