Guess who is back New Year's Eve

BrianThaB

BrianThaB

The mixer that made B 96 famous around the country and world. Yep, I heard B 96 advertising Bad Boy Bill back for one night only on New Year's Eve.

Sounds like B 96 really wants to attack Kiss FM and get some of their audience back. I also have heard more dance in regular rotation. They seem to be doing it with having their audience remember they are the heritage station.


FYI: If you did not remember Bad Boy Bill was on Kiss briefly when Julian jumped ship.

Thoughts? Comments?

I've seen you post some crazy things in the past, and THIS HAS JUST MADE ME GO OVER THE EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFORE YOU PUT THEM OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!

BAD BOY BILL WAS NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

on Kiss FM!!!!

Get your facts straight-lets keep this board intelligent
 
Bob,

I have it on tape to prove it. I will try to look it up and find it for you. Remember when Julian was briefly on Kiss? They aired a Bad Boy Bill mix once there. Want me to send a clip of it to you once I find it?
 
I do remember when Julian did the whole "Super Mix 6"
Then went back to B96-
PLEASE, post a link to your "audio"

Also, IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, for some reason Bill's mix was on 103.5, HE DID NOT APPROVE OF IT!!!!
That is a fact my friend-
 
Actually, this thread is about BBB being on Kiss Fm--
Well, it was after my first post.

And he was NEVER ON IT!!! NOR WAS HE A PART OF IT!

Brian IMPLIED that BBB was a PART OF KISS FM!!

Go back and READ-

Just waiting on the audio-
 
WEll, I've worked at both AND have heard the audio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I worked in CHI, unlike many of you!
 
Bob,

Here is your proof. Not only did I find the beginning of the Bad Boy Bill mix when he was on Club Kiss I think New Year's Eve 2003 into 2004 but Julian Jumpin Perez was interviewing Bad Boy Bill before the mix. They were saying how they were back together again. Proof he gave permission to air his mix. The interview and the beginning of his mix is aired in its entirety.

Just so you know I would never ever make any factual comments on this site unless I checked my sources. I don't need an apology. Just don't get all excited and jump the gun unless you are 100% sure next time. Once I saw your second comment I knew I had to spend about 1-2 hours today going through tapes so we have the truth as soon as possible.

I think if B 96 is finally declaring war on Kiss FM through the mixes, playlist, and talent then the entire city wins. Competition is a good thing and in the end the listeners win.

Thanks to everyone for chiming in as well. I appreciate it. Enjoy the holiday and here's to maybe the CHR war of 2008! :) B 96 has declared it and hope Kiss will now counter.

Heard the clip, thought it was great!!! Also, why did Julian go to Kiss 103.5 in the first place and then go back to B96? How long was Julian even at Kiss? I wasn't in Chicago then, but I knew about the switch through the internet.
 
Hamp,

I have tried finding that out back when it happened and it seems like anyone who does know is quiet on the subject.

The only thing I can speculate is that Julian was in a disagreement with management about his role. Remember not too long before this happened he lost his weeknight 6-10 shift. Maybe that also had a hand in the matter.

So Julian goes to Kiss. Starts the supermix six which many of the current B 96 mixers were apart of. I think it was Julian, DJ Nonstop, Billie the Kid, Double Impact, and a couple more (I think Josh the Funky 1 and maybe DJ Flipside?)

Why Julian left after barely 6 months I don't know either. I asked about that at the time and people were real quiet on the matter. I remember there was a ton of audio problems while he was there and after he hosted the first part of the show. One mix would start to air, it would abruptly stop. Dead air. Then the mix that just aired would air again, etc. Also they would promote mixes 10p-6a and a mix would abruptly stop and then just regular music would play at like 3 or 4 in the morning with no more mixes for the rest of the night. That could have been part of it. It sounded really bedroom DJish on the air.

The most interesting thing I remember from this brief mix show war was how B 96 let go of Bobby D., To Kool Chris, DJ Markski, and Maurice Joshua almost out of the blue with no knowledge to the listeners other than a promo for an all new Street Mix.

They keep Mixin Marc, DJ Speed and DJ Dan Morrell and keep Brian Middleton and Tim Spinnin Schommer on as air talent only. Julian comes back with many of the mixers currently on the station today and he gets added as mix show coordinator duties.

It was hilarious how Kiss was airing a previously aired Julian mix at the same time as B 96 was airing a new Julian mix. I will never forget that moment.

Ironically it all started around this time in 2003/2004 I believe.

If anyone knows the real story, please chime in. I would like to know myself.
