Sounds CHR to me

An actual station??

 

[collegeDJ86]

This station seems to be all over the map...

The Afters, Stellar Kart, Casting Crowns and Fighting Instinct have been on the CHR charts mostly.
Falling Up and Spoken's songs are currently #2 and #8 on the R&R Christian rock charts.
Chris Tomlin, SCC, Tree63, and that particular Newsboys song are mostly AC
Some of that stuff even would qualify as Inspo.

Not sure how you would classify that station, other than Christian.

thanks..you've been listning to xm 32 the message ;D..they have since confirmed they are switching formats to hot ac.

 

[neutralobserver]

thanks..you've been listning to xm 32 the message ;D.

I've said from the beginning it's a confused mess.

they have since confirmed they are switching formats to hot ac.

"They" being....?
"...have since..." -- Since what?
"...confirmed..." -- How, where, and when?
"...switching formats..." -- How does one "switch" what one never had?

since i emailed and asked what was going on.


"...confirmed..." -- How, where, and when?

the email he sent back to me..he being the pd and yes i forgot his name.


"...switching formats..." -- How does one "switch" what one never had?


come on..just because they had a huge library unlike most 100 or less song stations doesnt mean they didnt have a format. which was officially christian ac.

Is this the playlist and station that replaced XM's The Torch?

My former college roommate cancelled his XM subscription just because they removed the Torch from the lineup.

I thought the Torch had a decent playlist from what I heard of it.

 

[CONSultant]

I had subscribed to XM for 2 years and dumped them when they dropped the torch, too. When I was cancelling they transferred me to their "save" team - I think somewhere in India. The nice young gentleman with a thick accent tried to keep me from cancelling because "XM provides a Christian format". I finally had to explain that ice cream and spaghetti are both "foods" but if I order ice cream and you bring me spaghetti, it's not what I want. Anyway - I listen to Revolution on Sirius now - more similar to the torch than anything XM has.

 

[smashedcd]

i atill have the torch. its on directv. and its online.

 

[duke_fan]

I would vote for it being a CHR.

 

[William_Yeager]

It's Hot AC. Steven Curtis Chapman and Hillsong have no business being on a CHR in 2006 (not to mention 2005, 2004, 2003, and maybe 2002 as well).

 

[duke_fan]

Yeah... you're right... I didn't take a close enough look at it. My bad. Hot AC it is.

 

[jegrant]

IMO XM 32 sounds better than before. I applaud the move to Hot AC. I can record it on my MyFi, and usually I only have to skip 1/3 of the songs to turn it into a "Close enough to CHR" format. I still wish they would add dedicated shows of Christian Rock and Hip-Hop (as two separate shows, thanks, not mixed) - either on a weekly or daily basis.

but than they would alienate the regular audience...

Many CHR's play SCC and Hillsong.

That is a risk. But I wouldn't care if they ran these shows at 3 or 4 in the morning - since I could set the radio to record them, and listen at my convenience.

However - their music mix continues to improve. I am very impressed that a Hot AC format will play "Soldiers" by "Out Of Eden". And hearing "Basic Instructions" by "Burlap To Cashmere" reminds me of listening to Air1 years ago, pre-EMF.
