How do you think Collective Souls started where do you think Indie Music artist start on the local radio stations.
They would play their songs on 101.1 because locals would request it before they became famous.

This is 2024 not 1974. Relevant demographics don't turn to radio for new music discovery.

The only syndicated morning show that I can think of would be Steve Harvey perhaps. However, many Throwback stations tend to not go with Harvey nor Smiley. Local would be wayyyyy smarter!!!! Ricky Padilla would be good but he’s now at 104.5 THE BEAT
Research says otherwise.
I bet Brad Savage at WAPS FM in Youngstown, OH would agree with Mark.. Brad is PD and theyre a music discovery AAA owned by a school district with a full staff
I love how the RDS towards the end still said WQMP Orlando's New Alternative.37 reactions · 12 comments | 102 JAMZ ORLANDO IS BAAAAACK BABY! TUNE IN NOW! 101.9 FM JAAAAMMMLAAAANDO! LET'S GOOOOO! I walked into this building into 102 JAMZ back in January of 2002. This is hooome! | Jessica Bonilla

Did anyone get what was the last song FM 101.9 played, and/or what the last DJ said?
Actually, 101.9 was automated on the last day of “FM 101.9”, and the last 2 songs played on that format were “Home” by Good Neighbours and “Move Along” by The All-American Rejects.
This is good news, but sooner or later they might want to start adding currents like they did back in the day.
I’d like to take it a step further and ask why did 102 Jamz fail in the first place? I think I remember they drifted toward Rhythmic CHR in the final years. Was this the reason? If they would have stayed true Urban, would they have stayed successful?
At the time Entercom/Audacy was attempting to establish Alternative as one of their core formats. Within weeks of the completion of the acquisition of CBS Radio, they launched Alternative in New York, Dallas, and Orlando. The goal at the time was to establish core artists in the format for concert tours with scale in enough markets.
iHeart shot it down in one move... They turned Billie Eilish into a CHR core artist.
I was driving to work yesterday with 101.9FM on, & I heard them play the 2 minute launch in between songs at 9am. They must have already played all of their songs in their rotation. I am already hearing repeats, & they seem to be leaning more in the 2000s than 1990s, which is kind of a bummer, because in my opinion, the golden age of Hip Hop & Throwbacks is late 1980s to mid 1990s. I still have yet to hear a Smilez & Southstar song in my listening experience, & they are the only ones in that promo image that was shared that I haven't heard yet, & the only ones, besides Justin Timberlake, that are local to Orlando. Everyone else on there is already accounted for.
"AMP" was deemed a failure (in the markets it was in) by Audacy. If the chain did well or if it was in a market that lacked a CHR or rhythmic, then maybe it would stay.
WPYO was winning in the ratings race between the two. That made the Jamz brand expendable.
102 Jamz isn't commercial-free anymore. I wonder what their spot load is this time around? I haven't gotten a chance to listen to a full hour with commercials yet.
If radio stations are using consultants, then I can't believe they played "Scrub Da Ground". I also am surprised that they didn't censor the word "splack" over the air from that song, even if it's the group's name. Look that word up in urban dictionary, & you will see why. 😄 I edited that word out of any Splack Pack songs that I play for my radio show on WPRK 91.5FM.
Whoever is adding the music is doing a good job adding FL-based music into rotation, even if it's from Miami (Luke "I Wanna Rock") or Tampa (Khia "My Neck, My Back"). I still haven't heard Smilez & Southstar yet in my listening experience, but I've seen it listed on a sample hour on Mediabase.
I am interested in how they will be dealing with song burnouts with these constantly rotating jams that is only good until a listener gets tired of it. They claim that they have "Orlando's largest music library" in one of their sweepers, but we all know that's not true. WPRK 91.5FM does. 😁

SHHHHHH! Don't tell the listeners they don't actually want big playlists full of stiffs!
