96.3...VERY INTERESTING!

[El Chompiras]

after luis jimenez ende at 11:00am, so far they have been playing a variety of music with almost no interruption. I think johny fomulary and la munekita are out in this time slot. it's 1:20pm now.

 

[disney fanatic]

Will 96.3 changing it's call letters from WCAA to WXNY? Or will the station can become "X 96.3"?

Tune in tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel!

 

[d21ofnj]

The station IS X 96.3.

 

[Santos]

Without a doubt, it is a New York style station. I would actually get a good laugh is someone tried this in another market. It has a very unique playlist.

If they tried, it would be a disaster.

I hope they dont plan on stay with this 24/7 music format it hasnt worked before for them and wont work now. They better be planning on bringing some of the shows back like El Pachatazo and Coco Clasicos.

I was thinking the same thing...even though the music is hot, they need to incorpoate el pacha and other djs (fomulary)...lets see what happens for the next week or so...

I'm going to keep this short and simple here.

1. Go buy that club and play reggaeton all you want here. It will do poorly if you stick to that. This is NOT Chile. It doesn't matter WHAT they do elsewhere. It's about here in the US we're talking about. If reggaeton is growing down there, beautiful. It's fizzling here. I'm not misunderstanding this one bit. Come back to this country. And for that matter, what CHR stations are you hearing playing this? I've heard NONE as of late.

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this comment from you.How many times do dance fans argue how big dance is everywhere else in the world? I'm sure there is a post from you around here stating the same. Reggaeton still sells in the US even if the boom has dwindled. This year there has been three Reggaeton albums inside the top ten of the Billboard 200.As much as I like dance,I can't think of the last time a dance album sold so well in the states.

David Guetta

It debuted # 70 on Billboard. Not what I consider a well selling album.

But a lot of tracks out of it did get airplay. And NOT just on a Pulse, KTU or Party 105 for that matter and for that matter TRANSCENDED New York City.

Imagine when a genre transcends more that just a city but different countries...like oh lets say Chile,among others. I guess what happens elsewhere does matter after all. I think you see where I am going with this.

Yes! And come to think of it, let us take it back to the 1970's where places, like uhhhh France, Germany. The UK....let's just say Europe, as well as Asia and Australia embraced a certain sound that started here. And in those countries, that sound has evolved to various genres and still holds strong. Everywhere except where it started for the most part, although certain things have happened at differing times.

You get me now?

 

[e-dawg]

so.....what format is WXNY?

Tropical?

Latin Rhythm?

Spanish Adult Hits?

Spanish Language Contemporary. The CHR of the Caribbean Basin is rhythmic.

Adult hits plays no currents.

Tropical plays no pop, reggaetón, etc.

Hurban (Latin Rhythmic is a synonymn for reggaetón) plays no tropical and pop.

No, I do not get you. You said that reggaetón was dead "except in Puerto Rico" and I told you that this is not true. In fact, I said, it has exanded all over Latin America and is now a staple of CHR formats everyewhere.

Oh, and Reggaetón is not even from Puerto Rico. It's from Panamá. But the biggest producers of reggaetón today are Puerto Rico, Chile, Colombia and Cuba as well as Puerto Rico. It's a truly international genre, and dates back over 20 years!

I thought Spanish Contemporary supposed to be WPAT 93.1or their sister station in LA K-Love, LA KALLE in San Francisco & Fresno. Checking on the WXNY playlist. I don't see them playing Reik, La 5 estacion, Fanny Lu or Luis Fonsi. I see them playing mostly tropical music with some reggaton & bachata mixed in.

My above quote directed at Morpheux was about DANCE MUSIC. Not reggaetón.

Those are both AC. And KLVE is not WPAT's sister station: KLVE is Univsion, and WPAT is SBS.

LA KALLE in San Francisco & Fresno.

That's Mexican pop.

Checking on the WXNY playlist. I don't see them playing Reik, La 5 estacion, Fanny Lu or Luis Fonsi.

Reik and 5ta are Mexican pop, not AC. Fonsi is a ballad artist, and mostly AC.

I see them playing mostly tropical music with some reggaton & bachata mixed in.

Merengue, Bachata, Salsa, Rhythmic pop, reggaeton. That's carribean CHR / Contemporary. Please not that even Puerto Rico has no pop station... several, like Fidelity and Estereotempo are ACs, but the CHR, KQ105, is a blend of rhythmic things plus, as is true of most Latin American CHRs going back to the 60's, includes English language CHR / pop music.

I mentioned that earlier, but for some reason my post got deleted.

 

[lalumia]

the mostly white, gay crowd at The Bunkhouse in Sayville, Long Island, goes nuts and the dance floor fills to bursting when I program reggaeton,new and classics like "Dale" etc
