MIX 97 THE NEXT HITRADIO STATION .. # 1 IN ONE BOOK IF THEY DO IT RIGHT BUT NO GUTS .. SO HV WILL STAY THE SAME OLD SAME OLD
 
What do you mean by hitradio?? I cant say Ive ever heard that term... Do you mean like Top 40 Hits, past hits? what?
 
Perhaps we're talking about Mike Joseph's Hot Hits/Hitradio format from the 80's?

That did sound pretty tight back then... not sure if it'd work now. The music that's being produced today just wouldn't seem to fit with it very well.
 
A HOT HITS/HITRADIO FORMAT WILL WORK IF WE HAD A HOT AC/CHR FOR THE 25-54 DEMO .THAT WAS PLAYING MORE 80'S 90'S DANCE GOLD NOT ROCK .. LET'S CALL JAM

Obviously he does not.
Many markets including NYC, Boston, Los Angeles and Philly have all tried some sort of Rhythmic AC formula
over the past decade or so...none to much success.

FYI this summer, WNRJ swung back to a more mainstream Hot AC than it had been. Although there are still some rhythmic titles, they've begun adding Nickelback, Daughtry, Matchbox Twenty and even Def Leppard.

You want a rhythmic AC...try the Movin stations like KMVN/Los Angeles or even KQMV/Seattle...but do it soon :)
 
My point is.....it hasn't been a long term success anywhere!!
 
Oh brother.
Q-102 is a CHR/Pop station in Philadelphia that targets first and forsemost 18-34 year old females. No 80s, little 90s, mainly todays hit music.
WNRJ Norfolk recently evolved from a Rhythmic AC to some sort of Hot AC/CHR hybrid. Its Rhythmic AC format didnt last very long.
Movin 93.9 L.A. recently dumped Rhythmic AC for pretty much a Jammin Oldies format, while rival 104.3 K-Big recently dumped most of its Rhythmic and Retro Dance titles in favor of a more traditional Hot AC sound.
Lastly, Movin 101.1 St. Louis recently began moving away from Rhythmic AC towards Hot AC. In fact, it's already been reclassified as a Hot AC by the industry.

Rhythmic AC and Hot Hits are two very very different formats. The Hot Hits format of the 80s was extremely current based and didnt really lean on Rhythmic. Rhythmic AC on the other hand, well, you already know what it is.

Lastly, both albany and the Hudson Valley are well served by CHR radio. K-104 is the heritage CHR in both Poughkeepsie and Kingston, while Fly 92, 102.3 Kiss FM, and 96.3 Jamz battle it out for the CHR audience in the state capitol.
