Re: 98.7 The Breeze just ruined itself with new Fresh / RnB playlist

In December, 98.7 was playing You and Me, by Alice Cooper; and Stand Tall, by Burton Cummings...two awesome songs that fit the format. I wish that they’d re-add them.

Re: May I suggest one more format change on the FM dial? (Hint: it involves an urban station)

I totally agree, MW. Motown, 70s and 80s R&B. Heck, someone should bring back Mojo for nights (Charles Johnson, not Tom Carbello from 95.5)...lol

It’s pathetic that they won’t let Podell program this. It’d sound more local. I’ll give them credit for getting him, Trudi, Bill....

Re: 98.7 The Breeze: Announcers, Jingles, DJ'S, Morning Show, etc. Discussion

I’m amazed at all of the buzz re: 98.7. How boring as hell. I’ve never heard such a small playlist. I can’t see them ever being very successful with this current execution.

I agree with MW - they could have taken Smooth Jazz to 2019, with a new name, with a format like KTWV.

Re: 98.7 The Breeze just ruined itself with new Fresh / RnB playlist

BTW, what the hell is going on with the station's music log? I like how it looks like two stations melded together. If you take the rhythmic party hits (Blu Cantrell, Eminem, House of Pain, Usher, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Petey Pablo)...one has the makings of a great radio station. Hey, if that were t...

Re: 98.7 The Breeze just ruined itself with new Fresh / RnB playlist

It is no wonder that ratings haven’t risen too fast this far: too small of a playlist, constant tinkering with the playlist (softer AC? yacht rock? R&B AC? Today’s AC?...at least that Chadd and Kristy are allowed to talk more than they did earlier this week. Now it feels like they’re competing again...

Re: Mojo in the morning phone scams

The ones on 96.3 (Deal Breakers) are even worse. You can tell by listening that this is all scripted; and the participants don’t even sound like people from SE MI. The women usually drop f-bombs, which seem forced. I’m so surprised that Blaine doesn’t call BS on this crap.

Deal Breakers on 96.3

Who listens to this pathetic bit on 96.3? Blaine should be embarrassed. The bits are obviously staged, but no attempt is made to have any local feel. This morning’s couple consisted of a worker at “Yogurtland”, which is in the US but not in Michigan. The guy mentioned that he didn’t know that he was...

Re: 98.7 The Breeze just ruined itself with new RnB playlist

Mind-numbingly boring. I’m amazed that they can keep an audience with the ridiculous repetition, same liners, etc. ugh.

Does anyone have a clue about the weather?

WWJ says 4-8 inches of snow for Saturday. WJR calls for 3-5. Weather Channel calling for 1-3....you’d think there’d be more consensus with this being 36-48 hours out.

Re: 98.7 The Breeze just ruined itself with new RnB playlist

I cannot understand how any offices can have The Breeze on all day, given the crazy repetition.

IMO, this would be a great station if they multiplied the library by 3 or 4x....and added some jingles. I’m sick of the same liners over and over and over....

I have a cool drinking game: Every time Matt says ‘Okay’, you take a drink. You’ll be sh*t-faced by the 4th inning.
