Re: 1270 to Begin
That article is a bit inaccurate. The Bet has been heard on 97.1 HD3 for as long as it was on AM 1270, ever since 1270 dropped CBS Sports Radio. The only thing actually changing on the HD side is apparently that Sports Rap will be replacing the WWJ simulcast on 97.1 HD2.

Re: Power 96 Miami goes 100% Rhythmic Throwbacks
I'm a little surprised that there isn't more Latin music (Latin hip-hop, reggaeton etc.) being played - in that first hour, probably the only artist you wouldn't hear on The Bounce would be Shakira. But I agree, this is a smart move and will probably be a success. One thing's for sure, Miami radio i...

Re: Current Windsor A 25-54 ratings
Country 104 seems to be making inroads in the London market too. Pure Country (formerly BX93) used to own that market. Maybe listeners aren't digging the corporate programming. Mix 96.7 seems to have tweaked a little hotter. They sounded not all that different from WNIC for a time. Now they're back ...

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares for April
They're not bringing back W-Lite on 95.7 with 100.5 now doing mainstream AC. If they revive the W-Lite name anywhere, it'll be on 100.5. I'd almost bet my life on 95.7 going Country at this point.

Re: The Top 1000 from the 80’s
Sorry, Boy George is more my type. I can't stand "Relax."
Just to clarify: It's not a Top 1000 countdown. It's the Top 100 of each individual year of the decade.

Re: RIP David Sanborn
This funky little number crossed over to Billboard's AC chart in 1987 and also got CHR airplay on Detroit's Z95.5. It's "Chicago Song" (#25 AC).

Power 96 Miami goes 100% Rhythmic Throwbacks
They'd already been doing a CHR/Throwbacks hybrid. They've just dumped all the currents/recurrents.

For what it's worth, comments on their Instagram page seem to be overwhelmingly positive.

Re: WTRV 100.5 playlist tweak
I remember you, Mary Ellen! I was in my senior year at Aquinas when EZ105.7 flipped to Star. 100.5's format was still very MOR leaning at that time (what now passes for Adult Standards) and I remember them airing liners like "the way easy listening is SUPPOSED to sound" while 105.7 was still known a...

Re: WTRV 100.5 playlist tweak
WTRV did do a softer version of Mainstream AC for a time before shifting back to Soft AC. This was when Tom Cook was there, and right before he instituted the shift to Soft AC. I don't think Townsquare GR started taking the corporate playlists until after he left for Baltimore, so the music was stil...

Re: WTRV 100.5 playlist tweak
Whatever happens, I have a very sneaky suspicion 95.7's nearly 60-year history of playing some kind of pop/rock format (dating back to WZZM-FM) is about to end. I would almost bet my life on Country being the new format. I don't think a third CHR in the market makes sense. That pie is getting smalle...

WTRV 100.5 playlist tweak
It looks like The River has shifted from Soft AC to Mainstream AC. They' appear to be airing Townsquare's corporate AC format, as their playlist matches that of 99.1 WFMK. This makes me wonder if M.W.'s idea about 95.7 going Country (and the rumbles about 107.3 returning to Sports) is about to come ...

Urban One has Classix 107.9 in Philly. They should have flipped 107.5 WGPR to that while they were still in Detroit.

Re: Weather reporting
Streaming WOOD TV at the moment. They are doing their usual excellent job.
Word is that Centreville took a direct hit and 4-inch hail was reported around Union City.

That's at 530 and 1610 kHz, so I think that's safe.BirdieKingBobo wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 5:02 pmDoes this mean the looping radio message that is played when crossing the Mackinac Bridge will no longer be played??? That is tradition to listen to when crossing the bridge.
