B98.5's idea of 'today'

[caller10]

Was listening to the recycled promo B98.5 uses for their "party weekends" (or whatever they call it) for this New Year's with party music "from the 70s until today". And in the promo what is used as their image example of "today"? Why it's Pink's "Get The Party Started". Yeah, if your idea of "today" is 2002. Maybe what they mean by "today" is this century.

Watch out for B98.5, the party animal!

Looks like the "party animal" did pretty well in the December PPM's. Party on!

For the typical B98.5 listener, Pink is cutting edge. Wait till they break out Kool and the Gang.

Starting tomorrow they can brand themselves "seventies, eighties, nineties, and noughties."

Yeah, with its Christmas music. Most stations that play Christmas music in December usually have high ratings so "No Surprise" there according to Daughtry. Watch 98.5's numbers to drop to its normal levels to around 4.9-5.4 which is still good for the #7 radio market in the U.S.

The December numbers are quite impressive. BTW - what is happening to WSB-AM? I think I saw a 5.0
25-54.

I wonder what would happen if B98.5 got rid of Delilah. KESZ..... interestingly enough, we just did.....
