98.7 Simon Music

Hey dudes and dudettes...has anyone noticed some changes in the format at 98.7 Simon? I've been hearing some "new" music recently.
Does this mean a pending format change or is the station really living-up to its slogan..."We Play Everything"?
 
Why would Simon change formats at this point? Their ratings are up considerably from where they were before their new PD. Their current format gives them great flexibility to change the music as needed. I think they're just keeping it fresh and it's working for them. I used to hate this station, but find myself tuning them in more these days. On Fridays they take requests and I admit there were some moments today that I wanted to scream and almost changed stations, but I stuck it out. I think they really do play everything, with a heavy dose of the 80's.
 
I hated this station when i was staying in Hillsville Virgina,, their signal is weak, and I hate the station name... they were much better years and years ago when they were Kiss 98.7
 
They seem to play more oldies these days, and not necessarily the loud stuff. I got worried when I didn't hear that obnoxious guy a couple of times, but he's still there saying nonsense.
 
You must be referring to Chip the Prize Guy (I think that's his name). He is truly obnoxious. I don't know why they keep him. He says really off the wall oddball things that don't make any sense. Yeah, I don't get him, either.

That would be SKIP, the prize guy and he rocks (or something). The whole AM show is a big, fat NOTHING!
 
BRING BACK BILL AND CHERYL!!! :-* ;D :D ;) :D ;D ;D At least they were a big fat something!!!!!!!! Serously! Just look at the rationgs, it's all there (hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha_)
 
Oh and Attica is right. Chip or Flip or whoever is the only one on there I can even stand. I hate the rest of them and the news girl and that traffic guy and all of them excpet for Chip. He is the one with something to say about the world and the way things are now at this time and all but the rest can lump it!!!! :p :p :p :p ::) ::) ::) :eek: :( :'(

I thought Whicker left Simon? ???

No, I mean the guy who precedes every song with some ridiculous message that usually includes the words "We play everything". He's my favorite thing about the station. And before some commercial breaks he'd say "The Wicker Show" followed by a clip from that show.
