B96 Slow Jam Mix Tape

> Is this new? Sounds pretty cool.

I think it has been on for less than a month now. It is aired Mon-Thurs from 11pm to Midnight and on Sundays from I think 10PM until Midnight. It is a refreshing change of pace.

That's what I've been saying for years TJ, but a certain person on this board (who shall remain nameless) claims B-96 and GCI don't get some of the same listeners.

Also, if they want to try something, they need to retool that B-96 After Party mix show. It is not bumpin' like it used to be. They need some better mixers. They need to get rid of: Billy The Kid, Louie Loop, DJ Boogie Boy and (gasp!!!) Julian "Jumpin" Perez. Julian thinks he is Funkmaster Flex or something.
 
My pleasure!

I disagree, I think Billy The Kid is great. Louie Loop is very talented as well. Julien is the mixshow coordinator, so I doubt they will get rid of him.

Yeah, I seems to me that WBBM is doing what their follow (very urban-leaning) sister Rhythmic WPGC 95.5 DC is doing. If they are successful, WGCI will be in some real trouble. <P ID="signature">______________

I don't know that GCI has much to fear unless B96 tries to dump it's core audience and go directly after GCI. Bear in mind, that this has already been tried with a direct hit by Power 92 and they made a small dent, but not much else. B96 has the resources to pull off a better attack, but GCI has a pretty loyal audience. B96 can try to emulate WPGC all it likes, but it's worth noting that 'PGC doesn't have a dominant player like GCI in their way - they already ARE the likeness of 'GCI in DC.

Billy's and Louie's mixes are okay, but to me they don't have type of soul or feeling to them.

Billy's and Louie's mixes are okay, but they are no Bad Boy Bill or Brian Middleton by any means. As far as Julian goes, I think he has somewhat sold out House Music.

B-96 has done it before, I think they can do it again.
 
Yeah but that was when they weren't positioning themselves as hiphop. They were Chicago's Dance Beat I think back then, right? Nowadays I think the urban audience is too split for B96 to ever top GCI with their current format.

That's the whole reason why I think they SHOULDN'T position themselves as Hip-Hop. I realize you have to change with the times, but in the process B96 has alienated their past listeners. They should have stayed with their original identity.
