60 in a row every hour

Ok, so what does that even mean
???.

104.7 / 107.7 tv spot and the on going radio promotion.... every break.


Ha, I just remembered 107.7 is in the Entercomm Buffalo cluster
 
It's supposed to be funny in an absurdist, snarky way. They've been using that nonsensical liner for a while now. I remember it being mentioned, and ridiculed, on this board last year.

I have to think it is a variation of music stations promising to play 10 (or fill in the number) songs in a row commercial free. But in this perhaps bad joke they are promising 60 in a row in every hour which must be referring to minutes (as in 60 minutes) as there are 60 (minutes) in a row in every hour

It's called a joke / sarcasm. Some stations have a sense of humor, which some listeners find refreshing.
True. But the Wolf slogan sounds dumb and contrived, another example of cheesy imaging and sloganeering on many radio stations. In the realm of sarcasm, the imaging on Jack-FM was snarky, self-deprecating and often topical, darkly humorous and honest. "It's not that we don't take requests ... we just don't play them."
 
The late great Mix 999 in Toronto used so say "we play half hour music mixes every half hour..."
What about the commercials? lol
 
Kinda makes you wonder if some fool actually did "turn it up and rip the knobs off"
 
I used to like the short lived legal ID on WKSE that said "Serving one of North America's two greatest cities from a dumpy little building on Grand Island." Even though it was certainly true back then given old the facilities on Staley Rd (I can personally attest to the conditions there, especially in later years after the studios were moved out), I was told that people from Grand Island complained about the words Grand Island and 'dumpy' being associated closely in the ID so it was changed.
