Noticeable playlist additions at Alt 98.7

The ladies had 98.7 on in my barber shop today, good mix of songs and sounded good. Might have to give it some more time on the car radio.

WLLZ was owned by CBS back then. The company became known as Infinity Radio for a while. WLLZ would have picked Howard Stern mornings and Smooth Jazz would ended up on 97 FM.

A lot of rock stations were doing that in the mid 90s, either going classic or all new rock. I have to believe the Wheels name would have subsided by the late 90s. There probably would have been too much 80s/"your dad's radio station" stink on that name. I don't believe they had much more time anyway. But it is cool to hear those songs on that frequency again. I'll take what I can get.

I agree with Marcus. I'm not sure when ownership deals changed, but to blow out WLLZ in late 1995, just to fire up K-Rock on 97.1 barely a year later was foolish. They could have just taken WLLZ in a more Active Rock direction and put the Smooth Jazz on 97.1.

Not that it matters. Rock radio was dead by 1999-2000.

Heard “The Red” by Chevelle the other day- brings me back to Freshman year baseball lol. This playlist has gotten MUCH better. That said, what is Audacy’s issue with the latest Foo Fighters album? Four singles in and all I’ve heard is a couple spins for “Making A Fire”. If only they’d ditch that damn “Beggin” song and play more newer Foo Fighters.

[Mega Hertz]

Yeah, you would think that station would be banging out Foos. They've been one of the top alternative, Active Rock, Hot AC and classic rock acts over the last 25 years. You would think any Foo Fighters would be an auto add.

To touch on everyone's favorite song.....Beggin lol. I did think he sounds a little like ED from Live. I was surprised to hear WLLZ and the Wrif play Live. All over you on WLLZ and I Alone on the WRIF. I'm a H*** fan of Live and haven't heard them on terrestrial radio much besides Lightning Crashes. Don't listen to radio much. Usually going to a job in the work truck. Could be wrong with not hearing Live on the radio. I usually listen to podcasts or Spotify. It's nice to hear Darren Revell doing Big Sonic Heaven again. He has an app to listen commercial free. It was always a unique show when it was on the radio. You really never heard the artists or songs he played on terrestrial radio.

Just heard the Bravery and the Killers. This station is SOO much better than before.

[Mega Hertz]

Ehhhhhhhhh I guess if it's charting they have to play it. That's one of those songs/artists I can click away from, but come back knowing there might be something better in a few minutes.

Black Hole Sun yesterday. Black Hole Sun. On 98.7. Like it's 1994 again. I love it.

The station ID now says that they are an OLDIES station. Wtf?

[Mega Hertz]

Well the 90s ARE 30 years ago

[MotorCityRadioFreak]

They need to get rid of Panic! At The Disco. High Hopes is one of my most hated songs of the past decade.

I like the song, if only because it reminds me of my cousin because they were her favorite band. But I also like the horns. There is MUCH worse out there from that emo era. Hawthorne Heights anyone?
