I noticed it has sounded more mainstream lately and a less limited play on what scored big on the CHR/Rthymic charts. The decade channels are holding stable, like the 50's on 5, and the 60's is still one of the finest programmed, even after Cleveland Wheeler left.
Yes , there's been things that has gone little stale , like the 80's on 8. it's too many 80's wanna be's. They need to liven the sound and playlist, and imaging a bit. Yes, play the obsure hits, but there leaning more on obscure then the obvious. The 70's, it's always been that way. Yes they can use some 70 sounding jocks on there and specialized programming and chart countdowns like the 60's, but that hasn't happened since day one. The same mostly for the 80's.
And not to change the subject....but this is where I can catch you on this since we had a discussion way in the past before on the Internet board. You use "Station Playlist" for stream casting right?, I just wanted to know if it's been compatable with LIVE 365 for you. If it is....what are you doing to make it DCMA compliant. If we need to, you can answer me on the Internet board or I'll e-mail you.
