& has the #13 song this week.
And is not a mainstream country station. It is programmed to be more of a "music discovery" channel, plays a lot of music that never charts, and snubs or gives limited airplay to songs that its playlist curators consider too "bro country" or otherwise too embarrassing to play. And then there's the Morgan Wallen matter -- still unforgiven at The Highway, not even his old stuff gets played and his name is never mentioned on air, despite the channel being a huge booster of his music before the slur incident. Bottom line is that many of the listeners who liked what WNSH was doing might find a lot of what The Highway plays unfamiliar and wonder where their favorite songs have gone.
Blanco Brown also crossed over to country with "The Git Up" in 2019 and had a big hit this year with "Just the Way" with the band Parmalee.
They need a country station that plays the current hits alot which like you said the highway doesnt do.
I emailed sirisuxm & said even if they make it online only it would be great.
They said they will look into it. LOL.
However, aren't SiriusXM's online-only channels unhosted? TheBigA's point is that country music stations that are hosted are preferable.
Fortunately, we now have the ability to listen to country music stations from around the country, thanks to apps such as Audacy, iHeart, and Online Radio Box.
There is a current country hits channel online but it just plays whatever current tracks The Highway is playing without the recurrents and gold, including some of the songs that The Highway is pushing but most FM country stations aren't playing.
The thing with SiriusXM is that hosting on the music channels are blurbs from the DJs. Outside the Morning Mashup you don't tune into SiriusXM music channels for talk. Talk channels (Howard Stern, Faction Talk, Radio Andy, Doctor Radio, NPR) is where you go. So it's six in one, half a dozen in the other; comparing Music Choice and SiriusXM for music offerings. I prefer SiriusXM, and subscribe to Dish Network, who also has SiriusXM, but back when I had cable, I enjoyed Music Choice.
What one gets with SiriusXM that they mostly don't with Music Choice is the capability for Satellite in the car, streaming options, and ways to listen in home (hardware, streaming, or through Dish - Music channels only). That isn't viable with Music Choice.
They also ended in 2002 and 9 years later in 2013 Nash FM began. So there was a lot of time without Country in NYC.
In 2005 the CMA Awards took place at Madison Square Garden. I was there, it was a very big deal, and nobody would have known there was no country radio at the time in NYC.
Ew hosts are annoying just shut up & play the hits.
If i want talk ill put a talk station on.
Music Choice has an app that you can use for streaming on the go. There's no carplay support, but totally playable via Bluetooth, etc. in your vehicle. Just sign in with your cable/satellite provider credentials and you're good to go.
Good lord, where do you come up with this stuff? There's more information available via a simple web search now than there has ever been in history and still people choose ignorance.
Black radio has been around since the late 40s. Do some reading rather than relying on the claptrap someone else has fed you.
That is a horrendous generalization that is not even accurate. Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East... much of the world is neither ethnically "white people" nor is it run by them.
Xi Jinping is the world's most powerful person. He does not look like a "rich white man" to me.
I am not saying that what I am pointing out is that our world historically has had white people winning wars and white people in power and minority groups being attacked or ostrosized. My point is that many white people were infuriated that 94.7 became a station that caters to minority groups. Minorities need their voices heard and a place for them. White people have had power for themselves for too long it is time to share the power and address the needs of minority communities.
Music on a radio station represents neither need nor power.

Perhaps it's that SOME country music fans were angry that it changed formats. It could have gone all polka and they would have been just as angry. You are making a cultural issue where there isn't one.
No they are only mad because it's an urban format.
Has anyone actually done research on this?
I see that as an unproven declaration. I suspect that they aren't happy with the flip to "an urban format," not because what it is being flipped to, but rather a flip from what they preferred.
If they flipped from classic hip-hop to Spanish language tropical music, I would suspect that the listeners who wanted classic hip-hop would be upset. I would suspect that they would be upset because what they preferred was taken away, not because it provided a station to the Latinx community.
Again, you're making a declaration without anything to support said claim; other than anecdotal evidence and generalized perceived connection between other cultural issues and this individual situation.
