Ben-FM - Play Me Maybe?

[DToTheJ]

Based on what I'm hearing on Ben-FM and their playlist on Yes.com, anyone notice they're actually not playing that "Call Me Maybe" song among the currents on their playlist?

Not sure what you're trying to say here, but I have heard the song on the station a few times.

Ben plays currents? It's been quite awhile since I tuned in, but I thought they were Classic Hits based like the Jacks.

Perusing yes.com, it looks like they're using a Jack-like foundation with every fourth song or so a female-attracting pop or R&B type track from the likes of Mariah Carey, Kesha, Pink, Ace of Base and Nelly. An instant tune-out factor from an otherwise listenable format for me, but I'm not female and I guess GM is counter programming BEN to live alongside their successful local male-oriented properties.

They play a lot of 80's, which is perfectly fine. They do play occasional currents, like for example, as I mentioned in my earlier post, I have heard "Call Me Maybe" played on 95.7 several different times. I think I've heard Gotye a few times, too.

@CG41386: They must have just added it then, because prior to this post, I perused a few days' worth of playlist via Yes.com and didn't see it listed at all. :-\

I don't know... I heard it at least three different times throughout July.
