Ah ok, makes sense with Nash I guess. 105, they need to just give it up IMO with this bouncing between CHR and Hot AC. They will never learn ha ha.
The issue is that they were CHR after after Steve left. They then attempted Adult CHR, went back to Hot AC and still are today. They are the EXACT format WBVI (Mix 96.7) was. They both aired the same exact music, until WBVI became "Classic Hits 96.7." Interesting, that was the same exact weekend Q stunted with "throwbacks" for that weekend, constantly mentioning "92.5 kiss FM" and "something New's coming Monday. " Turns out, the playlist did not change.
Point is Heathcliff, they did not bounce as much as people think. They just moved 1 program, replaced it and added new sweepers. The format kept the same. That's really what it's been. "Jane" was just known as "Edward," but still the exact same person, acting the same way. It's just a psych out.

I mean, just blow the whole thing up. Stunt for a week then launch something totally different on there. Enough with the tinkering.
Well, they refuse to fix the above issues. If you sound like shit, nobody will listen to it, regardless of format. Again... The EQ has way too much midrange for what they claim to be CHR. 50:1 compression, over compressed mics, no application to get beyond the 4,000 watts, flunky morning show, flunky morning show in the afternoon (who puts podcast first, over the actual studio presentation), clearly voice tracked 9 hrs a day, which they refuse to hide.... when do I end. 105.5 is literally a blown up minefield mess. Scrap the license, signal, and TX at Nebraska and Westwood.

They could pull a 3 share with EZ, WXEZ-FM Sylvania with the old Bonneville EZ format and just live assist drive times.
Well, the "live assist" was exactly what the morning show was. Now that's the afternoon voicetracked show. Live assist does not work. Live programming does.
I remember The Buzz well, I was in High School at the time and that was everyone's favorite station. The Bumper stickers were everywhere along with the foam balls to put on your antenna, it's funny as most cars today don't have fixed mast antennas. Anyway, it was homegrown and local. Then Corporate came in and killed it.

Only heard Buzz 106.5 a few times since it was very weak out of Delta.The morn guy was the Z Man I think.
Howard Stern came on in Summer of 1996(I think). I remember Z man real well and Dan Bozick(sp?). Mix of newer harder rock with a couple of older AOR tracks mixed in, but 70% of it was currents.

Hasn't Z man been on this board from time to time?
Last I heard him on the air was doing mornings when the Zone was unfortunately heavily in its wussy electro-pop phase like 8 years ago
Everywhere else in the world "electro pop" is humungus. Only in North America it is not. Funny how "fag music" and wussy go hand in hand. Guess Channel Q, Pride Radio, C89.5, B1069, Pulse 87 and Vegas Vibe must be wrong, as the popularity seems to be growing. Sounds like Craig Snyder to me. To me guitars and drums are wussy, as nobody learns anything new. I may not be popular about what I'm saying... but eventually, you'll see my point.
