94.7 First Song Prediction Thread

"Walk" by the Foo Fighters might be a good pick if it's RXP version 3..

"A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return.."
 
I've got it. Atlas Genius - Trojans. ...and then a flip to Country. ;D ba dum tss.
 
If WFME-94.7 goes rock: "For Those About To Rock, We Salute You" by AC/DC.

If it goes country: Perhaps Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The U.S.A.", or, as noted earlier by XCountry 285, Allen Jackson's "She's Gone Country".

Yikes! Let's hope neither of those happen!

They could go the RXP V1 route with "New York Station," though it would serve them well to establish themselves independently

It also has been 14 weeks at number 1 on the Alternative chart. It would not surprise me. It will at least be heard within the first 90 minutes.

This is kind of a silly thread since we really don't know what the format will be. What if it's CBS Sports Network? Then there won't be a first song.

I hope it ISN'T CBS sports... we already have two sports stations in English and one in Spanish. Even though Cumulus has part of it, I can't see CBS wanting to cannibalize itself in any way by putting another FM on against the Fan.

There could too be a first song if they go sports. In homage to the former format it could be "Drop kick me Jesus through the goalposts of life" by Bobby Bare ;D
 
The call sign of 94.7 is officially WRXP.

Alternative?

If it is an alt station, it's going to bite heavily into WDHA. Those that want more than stale hair band rock will leave the station in droves.

I would be thinking about a different format if I were WDHA. There's where I would do country... and Greater Media does country VERY well.

RXP V1's ratings was crap. It sounded like an absolute train wreck. FM News sounded better than RXP V 1.0! Even WRFY-FM in Reading,PA sounded better than WRXP V 1.0 & they were owned by CC they would play a Gavin DeGraw song next to an AC/DC song saying oh it's rock. Gavin DeGraw's pop

WDHA has survived since around 1980 through the many incarnations of New York City-based rock stations. I don't think they have anything to worry about - they'll just continue to (super) serve the Morristown/Morris County/North Jersey area where they do quite well. Any ratings they obtain outside of that area are gravy and they'll likely withstand any challenge from a station in (or just out) of their area attempting a similar format (even if it's a rock-flavored one from West Orange, NJ).

I know you're thinking "WDHA should be proactive", but I think that after 30+ years in the format there's no reason to react until months from now when the returns come in. To use a somewhat similar example, this would be like Hot 97 changing formats upon hearing that Power 105.1 was entering the market back in 2002.

You're right in general, but that's not the best example because those two had a level playing field, same with Z and Now. When an A vs B end up with the same format, usually doesn't end well for the little guy. (A in this case) Of course that's not going to happen anyway so we're at moot point.
 
Should've been WYNY - for country! It's just going to be more alternative I think.

Then where does the nationally-known Pacifica go in New York?
