So, they played Live To Tell at 10:55pm on Monday night for the very first time but they have never played it again after that. Do they do that with many songs? To play them once and then never play them again? Yes, with MANY songs. It's not that they will never play again but they are being schedu...

So, they played Live To Tell at 10:55pm on Monday night for the very first time but they have never played it again after that.

Do they do that with many songs? To play them once and then never play them again?

I'm confused why you mention only those 3 artists from the 80s. The 80s were not played sparingly. They were both playing music as old as 1960 during the 2000s. WNIC in particular focused on older music with a sprinkling of current AC hits. It truly lived up to it's "Your Variety Station" branding....

I remember in the 2000s 100.3 WNIC and 105.1 WMGC would play Whitney Houston, Madonna and Prince from the 80s but barely any Michael Jackson. His numbers went up after 2009. Odd they all died from drugs except Madoona, yet. She's never had any issues with drugs or alcohol and her kids are not a mes...

They play Rude by Magic, Like I'm Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor and Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie way too much.

They played these songs for the very first time in the last 3 days:

Pretenders - Brass in Pocket
Babyface - When Can I See You
Madonna - Live to Tell
Paul Young - Oh Girl
Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy
Madonna - Borderline
Bad English - When I See You Smile
Daughtry - Home

Detroit313,
How do you feel about "No One Else On Earth (Club Mix)" by Wynonna Judd for The Breeze ?

Have any non country stations ever touched this song?

But why after 20+ years of allegations radio is dropping his music.

HBO broadcasted a documentary a few days ago.

Several big AC stations like KODA WASH KDGE KSNE KESZ have done the same. Not WLTW in New York though.

This seems to be an iHeart corporate decision

WLTW in NY and other iHeart AC stations are still playing him. So, it is not corporate.

So, it seems like WNIC has completely dropped Michael Jackson from the playlist.

They haven't played any of his songs since Sunday.

It is going to be interesting to see if or when his songs are going to return on the station.

Several other stations around the country seem to have done the same.

Why in the world are they playing that "Paula Cole - I Don't Want To Wait" song all the time? What is wrong with them?

Some of the songs they play all the time are poison when it comes to research.

I wonder if The Breeze is going to drop Michael Jackson like WNIC did with all the documentary drama.

The ratings of the iHeart Breezes show that iHeart knows how to get good ratings. The stations became instant successes. Ratings for WDZH in Detroit have been disastrous so far and those in the industry who get weekly updates know that in February the numbers were bad too. Entercom is a great compan...
