I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

[ChrisWL1980]

"Detroit's Alternative ROCK."
*Plays the pathetic Maroon 5 imitators Glass Animals for the third time today*
Billie Eilish is gone, but Machine Gun Kelly and Blackbear are still very much there.

They do sound better than a year ago but there's still room for improvement. Imagine Dragons "Enemy" into No Doubt "Don't Speak" is a segue I'd expect from WDVD, not an Alternative station.
In short, another case of lipstick on the pig.

I'll meet you on that. I feel like they HAVE to push that current product. I have to believe there are better options for currents. Plus, I heard MCR twice inside of an hour and a half.

Do they do any music testing? I would love to be on the panel!

I do surveys on the side to supplement my earnings. And I have taken 4 surveys in the last 3 months for 98.7 music. Just got done with one 20 minutes ago on Branded Surveys. Per everyone's input I put "Enemy" as played out. I also put in the comments that 98.7 should hire former 89X jocks and get harder alternative in rotation as well stop the top 40 shit.

I just randomly turned on wdzh

Well, I took a pic...but apparently no uploads here?

Anyhow here's a link.

Jesus tap dancing Christ.

On Lithium, while on my trip to Meijer, I heard:

Pearl Jam "Hail Hail"
Primus "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver"
Foo Fighters "Big Me"
Oasis "Supersonic"

But no, by all means, spin that MGK track again.

[Mega Hertz]

Yeah but that was a pretty good set of songs. They didn't all play at once; two were on my way to the store and the other two were on the way home.

I just heard NIN "Closer" on my way to Kroger at 8:30 on 98.7. Was surprised to say the least.

The repetition on pretty much all of the sirius channels is just as bad these days - with a virtually limitless library of music, there should be no reason to hear the same song twice in 3hrs, let alone twice in 24 hrs....

I Can only stand to subscribe for 6mos on, 6mos off.

At what point will MCR be old enough that I can listen and sing "Black Parade" in my car and not feel like a pedophile?

They are a band that I 100% associate with 15 year old teenagers because my younger in-laws would listen to that in the car when I was tasked with driving them around and that CD got me interested in that band, and I feel like a creepy old dude for listening to it.

As for 98.7, they should crib their playlist from SXM 11. They would get a good mix of older moms listening to the music their kids listened to just a few years ago and those kids themselves since they are probably broke enough to not afford a car where they could listen to music off their phone easily.

Let's be fair. You ARE a creepy old dude, Neck.

Neck, if you mean Pop Rocks, then hell yes. Would be like having the River back, or more accurately, 107one-lite. I’d listen to that shit all the time.

That song is fifteen years old. So, 30-40 year olds would be the target demo now. I’m 39 and I like it. Initially, I hated it because I associated it with the emo rebellion on 89X. However, the song has grown on me.
