Yeah, it's a mess, but once The Tide was gone Mainstream AC fans only had WGNI or possibly WXLY or 100.5 in Florence, whatever that is now.It took me this long to realize WEZV changed their format. I was a regular listener 5-10 years ago and was in total awe of their relaxing format. I considered it an American treasure.
I decided to listen to them today for the first time in years. For some reason I expected them to still have the soft oldies format I remember. Was I in for a shock. They were playing all the uptempo burned out songs a million other adio stations play. I guess they are mainstream AC and I absolutely hated it, especially knowing what they used to be. I understand the business reasons behind it. I don't care. I now hate this station with all my heart and soul.
You did notice that they had uptempo music dating back to the 80s, didn't you? Plus a few 70s which were still "lite".
