Easy 93.1 seems to be official folks....or is it?

And ya know what? One store we frequent had it on, and my co-worker took a combo radio/CD which was set on another station, and he switched it to Easy.

Word gets around.

Well, I live here, but maybe somebody has heard something I didn't. BTW, calls are officially WFEZ....Yes.com needs to fix..... :)

I meant you can go back and check the log to see what's been played. Those call letters
need to be changed, for sure.

Cox is know for a very narrow play list. No variety at all

Huh? Even more current based WFLC has a 600 song average per week during 2010, and that is on the high side for an AC.

Wow, they just reached way back to 1958 for The Teddy Bears' To Know Him Is To Love Him.

Aha....the other 50s songs I have heard were "My Special Angel" by Bobby Helms, and "Mr. Blue" by the Fleetwoods.

I wonder which song, so far, is the most *recent* on their playlist? I've heard "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion (1997), but not sure of anything more recent than that.

Another 50s today: "Come Softly to Me" by the Fleetwoods....the #1 song the week of my birth in May '59.

Just wondering if Easy has played any instrumentals yet....cd

We have always loved this one.
Sooo many stations played it, number one for five weeks, and it is über alles!
 
^^^

Also 10 or 11 weeks #1 on the Easy Listening chart!

The old timers on this board will get lots of mileage from this station
Hope they get more of a web site than just a huge "listen" button
(I found it without my glasses)
 
"I found it without my glasses."
LOL

OK, it's the new year but I've now heard (at least part of) Another Auld Lang Syne by
Dan Fogelberg 4 or 5 times on this station and I'm not listening all the time.
 
It's like a weird kind of exorcism and redemption for 93.1. Anything aimed at the younger demos bombs after awhile (for whatever reason) and formats aimed towards the older demos get listeners who stick with it. May not necessarily be profitable revenue-wise at first, but if you have a good sales team who 'gets it' and wasn't it WPLJ PD Scott Shannon who said it best: Old listeners are better than no listeners...??

Being the economical situation is fragile at best for the foreseeable future, right now most people I see with real money to spend are the 55+ crowd. I'm in the 25-54 and, well, I don't. Neither do a lot of my friends. Their parents and grandparents are buying a lot of the toys for big girls and boys (and sometimes for us if we're nice to them - haha!): cars, HDTVs, vacations, DIY home renovations, concert tickets, etc. They're also BIG supporters of the arts. If I were in Cox's sales department, I'd be banging on the door of every theater and PAC from Homestead to Palm Beach Gardens to get them on board.

Maybe the frequency finally found some peace, as 103.5 did after 15 years in limbo post-WSHE.
 
Great Sean Ross column about EASY 93.1 on this site today. He mentioned at one point both EASY and WLYF were playing a Barry Manilow song at the same time. This makes South Florida radio unique because in most markets you would never even be able to find one station that plays Manilow (or artists similar to him).

Isn't competition great? lol Who would've ever thought a soft AC these days would play Barry Manilow? At least it forces the competition's hand about playing the EZ artists once again. :)

Yes.com has changed it to the correct call letters, but still describes it as
South Florida's Pure Rock

I've searched for it, but to no avail. Sorry. Could you please provide a link. Thanks.
