101.5 Jamz Is On the Air

[DToTheJ]

First: Renaldo goes out Sopranos-style. Howwww orig

Next a montage of songs with "Jam" in them and some dude saying "Power 98 is dead..."

Anyway, 101.5 Jamz is alive. And the voice guy is the same one heard on New York's Hot 97.

First song: "(Party Like A) Rock Star" - Da Shop Boyz.

Also, the website 1015jamz.com is now live.

This they really chop off the end of Renaldo's statement or did the stream cut out?

What an incredible disappointment. Didn't think there was anything worse than Free-FM. I want to thank CBS personally for helping my business though .

Keep up the great work terrestrial radio, you're going to make me a very rich man.

Anyone familiar with the finale of "The Sopranos" realizes the way that segment ended was a poke at that show's ending. In fact, right before the flip, the "title" listed on the STW player was "Sopranos Ending".

I was expecting a confronation with the "guys with drills" who'd chew out Renaldo and then segue that into the new format.

These sweeper-based launches are are exciting as an Arby's commercial. Yaawwwwnnnn......

Still, a good stunt. But cruddy launch.

You mean cookie-cutter hip-hop and R&B on the same station? Wait, that is what 18-34 young adults in Phoenix like...nevermind....

Jamz sounds like it's going after Kiss more than Power right now, if this keeps up Power will probably be fine. The station sound like Kiss did three years ago before they added all the pop.
