103.1 WKVE Kudos/Appreciation post!

[Parttimer]

DVE and WWSW have a Less Than 100 song Playlist (Both Owned by Same Corp.) On WWSW You Can Set Your Clock by the Music . Same song played Same time Every Day. KVE is Locally Owned and Programmed By The Owner Who Listen's and Knows the Music.

DVE and 3WS are the two most listened to stations in the market.

People who want infinite variety, for the most part, are not finding it on the radio but rather on streaming apps.

Because not everyone has the same musical tastes as you

The song selection is irrelevant. I dont care if theyre playing my favorite 40 songs over and over, id give it a week before theyre unlistenable. These stations that have a 400 song library (not a lot of songs by the way) with commercials and talk and such, there is still no excuse to hear the same song 2 days in a row. The top 40 stations i can see that because they have to keep up with current hits, but the average classic rock station, lets say it… sucks.

Or their music collections.

They can find it on LPFM or college stations, which certainly follow a different playbook.

It's wonderful when radio introduces me to a song I haven't heard before as stations did once upon a time. My home city, Pittsburgh, has a rich history of jocks like Terry Lee, Porky Chedwick, Mad Mike, and Clark Race who played records that weren't already established hits, introducing them to listeners. They built a following and fanbase that way and turned people on to new music.

A station like KVE introduces listeners to music, playing deeper cuts than WDVE and the like. I love 770 WKFB and 620 WKHB because they both have huge music libraries and a great musical selection. It's refreshing to hear a rare gem on one of those stations. I'm constantly asking my phone what song is playing, discovering musicians and songs. Kudos to Robert & Ashley Stevens. They do a fantastic job programming their stations!

See @tall_guy1 maybe you were right! Some listeners DO appreciate when stations turn them on to new music they didn't know about or didn't know they'd like!

Perhaps I should check them out.
