Lite is playing it overnights. Kiss has spun it 23 times in 12 weeks
I can't say either Lite or Kiss are giving it a lot of spins, but on top of the seven other stations (Star, Beat, Jamz, Q100, V-103, Jazz, Hot), that means at least nine stations have played "We Belong Together." Over the past 12 weeks, Kiss has spun it 23 times, Lite, 30 times, as part of its overnight current rotation. (I have temporary access again to Mediabase 24/7). B98.5 has only made one change since I wrote my Jack story in June, as noted in an earlier post: "Listen to Your Heart" by DHT. That's it. But "We Belong Together" certainly could be added to B98.5, perhaps this winter.
