Interesting. Makes you wonder if it's in some sort of test phase, or if they plan to take the primary signal in a new programming direction down the road. More mainstream perhaps? Maybe more dance friendly?

You know what's annoying?

How the dance format is brought up like 50,000 times a month.

THERE WILL NOT BE A DANCE FORMAT AGAIN. GET OVER IT. MOVE ON!

I loved Energy as much as the next guy.. and I have tapes of the "old" B96.. but come on..

Man.
 
Hey Ice Cream,

Let me know if you want to do any "old" B 96 tape trades!

B96 is already playing a few, Dance Songs now. I dont see Pure Dance coming back any time soon, but I could see B-96 adding a few more Dance Tracks, and POP-Dance Remixes, if the Momentum on Crossover Dance Hits keep up I could see them going back to the way they sounded in the late nineties, Early 00, when their were still Some, but not as many Dance songs played, maybe one an hour. I dont see any of the HIP HOP mixshows going away, or any of the B96 DJs going back to Mixing Dance though. I would kill to hear Bad Boy Bill, Julian Jumpin Perez, DJ, Markski, ECT, come back and do like ONE FINAL Dance MIXOFF Reunion, for a Holiday Weekend or something. It would be interesting to see what kind of Response that would get for testing, and what all the listeners would be thinking. You would have the people in their late 20s, to late 30s who remember the old sound, who would probably just love it, not to mention, the former Energy Fans. Then you have the 14 yr old Thug, who is saying, What the F... is this Foreign Music doing on my Rap Station..lol..

Gee, I had no idea "dance-friendly" meant Energy.

maybe dance is brought up 20,000 times a month because there is something on this board that no other station in chicago has...and its called hardcore fans. Fans that believe in the format and would do anything they possibly could to have that little "energy" back in their lives, even if it is just for alittle while, or a weekend.

i loved energy to death, but yes its dead and will be remembered, but u have to think, would B96 actually be able to pull off a dance station? i dont think so.

like they say in the scene
"immitated but never duplicated"

just my 2 cents...
