106.7 The Beat Detroit - A Rhythmic CHR?

[htowler]

The Beat should have been moved to Chr/Pop it's more that than Rhythmic.

That wouldn't happen since they have Channel 955 in the same cluster.

Their playlist is kinda CHR/Pop ish

Maroon 5 - Misery
B.o.b./rivers Cuomo - Magic
Selena Gomez & The Scene - Naturally
Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.s.a
Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me
Script - Breakeven
Lady Antebellum - Need You Now
Pink - Who Knew
Pink - U + Ur Hand
3oh!3 - Don't Trust Me

Seems like a Top 40 to me all these are within the top 50 in the playlist

A few more stations have been moved from the Rhythmic AC panel to the Rhythmic one:
Movin 92.5 Seattle (the first successful Movin station in the country), Movin 100.7 Salt Lake City, and Recurrent-heavy Party 93.1 Las Vegas.

Don't forget WKTU/New York City.

KTU Still looks rhythmic AC to an extent
After the Top 20 the playlist is about 50% recurrent/Gold After the top 40 it's about 90% recurent/Gold

This doesn't surprise me, plus those tracks are already in recurrent rotation anyway.

This one doesn't surprise me, either. But then again WKTU and WDTW have distance themselves from the Rhythmic AC genre, which is why they were moved to the Rhythmic panel.

Good point, I noticed 9-5-5 has been playing a lot of mainstream pop lately, just like what they're sister KIIS-FM down here is doing. They sounds even better now since it gives the playlist a bit of variety. Last year, it really sounded very much like a hip-hop/CHR-rhythmic station (was a bit surprised that heavily-rhythmic playlist didn't affect JLB).

The reason 95.5 was very hip-hop oriented last year was because 98.7 Amp Radio hadn't been introduced yet. 95.5 had no competition as a CHR station, so it was able to be as rhythmic/hip-hop oriented as it wanted to be. When 98.7 Amp Radio debuted as a more mainstream CHR station, 95.5 had to adjust accordingly to compete.
