FREQUENCY 9-4-1

L

lovejamminoldies

Happen to actually like the mix lately! They're playing more familiar stuff and it sounds like a rock-based Hot AC/AAA. They could easily evolve into a Hot AC with Q102 being a Adult CHR, practically CHR these days! Their PPM doesn't too bad either. Does better than The Wiz, probably because Frequency is in some offices as well.

What do you guys think?
 
It's a shame that CC had to trade the station to Cumulus since it probably would have flipped to Gen X already. I'm not a fan of the current format.

I was a big fan of Gen-X in Louisville at first...but it's grown weary. The playlist is too tight; I kept hearing some of the same songs every time that I tuned in. Now, I haven't listened in several months.
 
That's the problem with radio and commercial formats. They play the same 300 songs over and over. Frequency sounds like a softer 96 Rock.

REALLY MB? Is THAT what THEY do?

And the problem with discussions that mix professional career broadcasters with wannabes who think they know everything IS.... wait for it... the microbobs of the world.
 
Yes, that's what they do and that's why radio today sucks. This market needs to shake things up, but instead we the listener, is left with what we have now. Boring Cookie Cutter radio!! Sorry if I upset you with the truth.

Looking at it now, I take back what I said before. They're a bit off Hot AC. Way more AAA. Must have just been that set. ???

What's wrong, a station actually made you not like the music that they were playing?

Heaven forbid that a corporate station actually tried to do something different from the Top 40/Hot AC vein.

HOW DARE THEY THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

Well, this is fun. You guys like jumping on me and Bob? Hey, I'm not hating on the format. If it works, it works. PPM actually isn't bad. We'll see how long Frequency stays around. It doesn't have to be CHR or Hot AC for me to be happy, I just got disappointed because I THOUGHT I heard a Hot AC lean approaching. I don't care what they do, my buddies at some of the other radio stations in town who actually are ratings leaders don't even SLIGHTLY look at Frequency. :)
 
I hate tight playlists, too, but history always repeats itself. The ones with the tight well-researched playlists beat competitors with deeper playlists.
 
OUUC is right...
>>>history always repeats itself.<<<
...and so do the powers. Every hour and 10 minutes.
