Flashbacks on CHR ?

[vaboi83]

How many stations have shows that run 80's/early 90's track? And what times do they do it or do they just run random 80's/early 90's songs

And not backtracks USA - that show is okay -

WRVQ (Q 94) in Richmond, VA run Flashback Friday from 6am-8pm and mix it with today's CHR (expect from 5p-8p withe the "Flashback Extended Free Ride" which is all flashbacks

So you could easily here a Madonna's 80 track followed by Rob Thomas and then into Bruce Springsteen then Kelly Clarkson into Simple Minds, into 50 Cent, into Phil Collins, etc

I love that mix of music, my ears stay on the radio all day ( I wish they did all day, or at least all weekend). If it was ran all weekend kids and parents might like the same station, and not have a radio war in the car with the kids wanting CHR and Parents wanting AC!

Plus, you never know what u r going to hear, and the repeption is alot less, meaning you won't hear Rob Thomas "Lonely No More", 3 Doors Down "Let Me Go" and Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" as well as other tracks that get played every freakin 2 hrs. That is why songs get old real quick and ummm BORING, cause you hear em every 2 hrs. I hate listening to the same songs 2 to 3 hrs later, 4 or 5 is okay, but 5 to 6 is best! After 2 hrs it is time to turn the radio off.

Plus throwing in old school tracks (maybe 1 to 3 an hour) could open CHR to a bigger audience take out some of the AC audience. Of course at night when younger kids will be listening I would not have 3 80's tarck in the mix an hour, maybe 1 or none.

But my point it would make CHR radio more fun, a reason to listen and stayed tuned (not turn it off like me, lol). Which is what Bob/Jack format is trying to do, but they go for a older audience (30 and higher) which is why 70's is in the mix

But CHR playing 80's/early 90's mixed with today will stay grab the same audience (12-35) but maybe even alittle older. I mean I am 21 and love CHR (and looking for a job/career in it and radio) but also love 80's ( I was born then!) and do not want to listen to AC stations that play 70's also and too much slow crap, but I also want to hear 50 CEnt, Lil Jon, mixed w/ my 80's/early 90's. Why can't we play Will Smith's new song and old Jazzy Jeff songs? Old Mariah and new Mariah? Old Madonna and new one (whenever she comes back).

Does anyone else feel this way or I am alone?

The reason you hear certain songs so often is because most people don't listen for more than a couple hours at a time and want to hear all their favorites within that time span.

107.1 A1A in Melbourne, FL (which I can just pick up where I live) plays some 90's hits during the day, and does an 80's lunch. They've been doing this for a long time; the station has always skewed adult. They cut it all out after 7 pm though. However, that stuff is already over-saturated right in my town with 3 stations playing some kind of AC (if I'm not mistaken, Richmond has no hot AC). I think it can work to some extent in smaller markets, especially if the station has been around a while and played those songs when they were new. BTW I'm also a 21 y/o male originally from VA (small world huh?) <P ID="signature">______________

[WhoDoYouThink]

Bruce Springsteen has no place on a CHR these days. Some of the Madonna stuff works. The only golds that really work on CHR these days is the rhythmic stuff
("Baby Got Back", "Hypnotize" etc...). The Lifehouse's and Linkin' Park's are 3 to 5 years old, so they qualify as golds, as well.

Bruce Springsteen, though? I dunno...Is Q94 skewing Adult?

I agree Jon. I am 23 and am a big fan of CHR and the 80's. I continuously flip the radio between my local Hot AC station and CHR station. It would be cool to hear a few 80's 90's songs on CHR stations. I have heard a few that do that. I agree it would bring a bigger audience in. My local CHR hear in Dallas (Kiss 106.1) will occasionally do that but only once an hour. I have heard 50 Cent go into UB40's "Red Red Wine" and have also heard an Erasure song on that station but it would be cool if they did more an hour but it probably won't happen. The ratings on this station are the highest they have been in a while. I doubt they would do anything that they are afraid may screw it up.

I think adding one or two 80s/90s tracks an hour on CHR is a great idea. However, not all artists and songs can work. Someone mentioned below about those songs being more rhythmic in nature and I agree. If you played Debbie Deb, LL Cool J or Madonna, it'll work better than Phil Collins, Springsteen or Hall & Oates.

Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Aerosmith get some rotation on CHRs. I've heard them on WIFC Wausau, WI, WIXX Green Bay, WI, WXKS Boston, MA, and before they tweaked rhythmic leaning in 2003 WXSS Milwaukee, WI had LOTS of Dave Matthrews Band, Aerosmith, Bush-Glycerine, STP - Interstate Love Song, 90s Matchbox 20, 90s Goo Goo Dolls, Mr. Big - To Be With You and an occational Bon Jovi track here and there. For a time in 2002, Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train was in rotation on there. This was in addition to the rhythmic golds that they played. Probably due to the big Osbournes hype.

I do agree with you on Phil Collins, Springsteen, and Hall & Oates. In the 90s it was ok but probably not now.

I guess I am the minority here, but I personally believe 80's music does not belong on today's CHR format.

The last thing someone in the target audience for CHR radio wants to hear is a song by the likes of Hall and Oates, Bruce Springsteen, or even old-school Madonna and Michael Jackson. While a song like 'Beat It' or 'Into The Groove' may be great for a club from time to time...it's not what they want to hear in the car on Kiss-FM.

Rhythmic and well-known 90's golds, such as Baby Got Back, Gangstas Paradise, and that O-PP song that's name is absolutely on the tip of my tongue and I can't think of it right now DO work on today's CHR, because the primary audience still can relate.

I still have yet to know any CHR stations that run Backtrax USA 80's. Thats a Hot AC show without question. Backtrax 90's is even questionable...with all the Hootie, Faith Hill, Counting Crows, Jewel, etc that gets such heavy airplay. Kid Kelly does a fine job with the shows.....but they are AC/Hot AC/Variety Hits material.

But, a song a previous poster had said, I do not believe Red Red Wine has any business on today's true CHR radio.

WHOT Hot 101 in Youngstown used to do Friday Night 80's and an 80's Lunch until about a year ago. While I didn't mind one bit....it was not at all what a CHR station should have been running...and it sounded awful and did not get ratings. CHR is all about "hit music" and to a group of teens or a group of females in their 20's, "Kiss On My List" or "Every Breath You Take" was what they had to listen to in the car because it was their parents music. And is the last thing they want to hear on CHR radio.

Z104, yay, now it is CHR/rhy, but a great station when u do not like too much hip hop or urban - whatever u want to call it

But the Zone @ 1061 is a great CHR/pop station in Hampton Rds (they are new)

And do not get Z104 Norfolk confused w. Z104 DC - alot of ppl in VA do

Z104 DC, I thought would be like 94.9 the Point in Norfolk, but it is not, at least to me, I like the point better

Not sure on this, but I thought I heard Backtrax USA early Sunday morning on Q94. I think 3-5 was 80's and 5-7 was 90's but not sure and that was like a 8 months ago, must of the time I am sleeping then, or drunk from the club or party, lol

I was on the road to Harrisonburg, VA that snowy morning and I picked up the rest of the 90's show on H-burg's Q101 which is also CHR/pop

And who listens to the radio at 3am on Sunday morning anyway, lol?

Correct! That whole album was actually great, and don't forget another anthem of theirs later called "Hip Hop Hooray"

I tend to agree, even though I love 80s music. I mean, we're in 2005, and some of you are talking about playing songs that are possibly 25 years old. Think back to CHR radio in the 80s, do you remember any of them playing music from the 60s, or even the 70s?
CHR radio should be current based, and mainly focus on TODAY's hit music, and perhaps go back 5-10 years ago on its Gold.
The problem isn't with CHR radio - it's the fact that Hot A/C stations aren't playing ALL THE HITS from a decade ago. Why shouldn't Hot AC's play "Gangsta's Paradise", M/A/A/R/S "Pump Up The Volume", or Real MCcoy "Another Night", alongside Counting Crows "Mr. Jones", John Mellencamp "Jack & Diane", and Jesus Jones "Right Here, Right Now".
Sadly there are very few Hot AC's (and Bright ACs) these days that don't lean exclusively on Modern AC hits. That's where the problem lies, not with CHR radio.
I've noticed some of the Hot ACs over in Europe even play recent currents like "Locked Up" by Akon, or Will Smith "Switch".

I remembered hearing "Red Red Wine" on Kiss. Sometiems they can throw early Usher, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, etc. Back in 2001-2002 they would spin Third Eye Blind, early Matchbox 20, Lisa Loeb, Live, and other 90's rock.

KWTX/97.5 in Waco, TX has a good source of flashbacks from the 80's and 90's. They would have a program almost every Wednesday (not sure if they still have it) called Wayback Wednesday and mix today's hits and flashbacks.<P ID="signature">______________

97.5 in Waco is a good station. Sometimes I can pick them up in my car. Not very clear though. It depends on if I am stopped at a good intersection
