Highway Vibe taken off the air

Highway Radio has ended its broadcast of The Vibe. Energy 98 has taken over the internet stream, but not sure what's airing over the radio.
 
I just called in to Highway Radio and Highway Vibe will NOT be removed from broadcast. Mike O has been let go. Highway Vibe will continue!
 
Well good luck to them then!
 
Yes, it's still Dance. I live in Lancaster, CA and I can hear 98.1 FM. Everything is still the same. According to Mike O, they have the logs through Wednesday. When I spoke with Jodie at Highway Radio, she said the format and name were going to stay, but it was going to become more Hot AC during the daytime. To quote her exactly "Instead of 10 dance tracks per hour, it'll be like 6 or so".

Mike is still in control of the 128k internet stream that was originally apart of KVBE. Since the days of 94.5 The Vibe, the internet stream has been an exact parallel of the FM (not to be confused with simulcast), the exact logs were imported into both systems. This is also why you never heard the traffic updates on the internet stream for myvibelv.com
 
Not revenge. I controlled the 128k stream. There were a lot of promises that never materialized. It is what it is.
 
They're still calling it Highway Vibe but it's clearly AC with just 1 Dance track per hour.

Is it AC or Top40? I was looking at Mediabase playlist and it shows a mix of POP, HIPHOP and some dance, but not much anymore. That sucks! Is it pure dance after a certain time?
 
Mediabase doesn't monitor them. What were you looking at?
 
I took note of what was playing during the time I was listening before I got sick of it and shut it off:

*The Fray - Over My Head
*Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna - We Found Love
*R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
*Tonic - If You Could Only See
*OneRepublic - Good Life
*Pink - Get This Party Started
*O.A.R. - Heaven
*Katy Perry - Teenage Dream
*Colbie Caillat - Fallin' For You
*Santana & Alex Band - Why Don't You & I
*Kelly Clarkson - Since You Been Gone
*Michelle Branch - Loud Music

none of these are remixes, they're all originals that were being played... I find it appalling that they still call themselves "Highway Vibe", they should just go back to their branding as "The Highway"...
 
Unless The Vibe gets yet another FM signal, but that doesn't seem likely at this point.

Keeping the name Highway Vibe with their AC format, Highway Radio will be getting some dirt on the "Vibe" name and reputation. Hopefully any other companies they try to do business with will distinguish the difference between "The Vibe" and "Highway Vibe".

So the station doesn't play Pure dance at night? If so, what time does that start?
 
According to Jodie at Highway Radio, they are continuing with pure dance at night. As far as the time goes, I would assume 10pm-5am. I haven't checked for sure yet, as I'm currently in Mesquite, NV. I'll let you know as soon as I get back to SoCal. (Unless somebody else is tuned in to them and would like to chime in....)
 
I took note of more music they were playing between 12pm-2pm today as I was passing through the area...

THE MUSIC OF THE VIBE:
Bruno Mars - Grenade
Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All
Sugar Ray - When It's Over
Cobra Starship feat. Sabi - You Make Me Feel
Janet Jackson - Escapade
The Script - Nøthing
Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer
Colbie Caillat - Fallin' For You
Gavin DeGraw - Not Over You
Simple Plan feat. Natasha Beddingfield - Jet Lag
Guster - Satellite
Rob Thomas - Someday
Lady Gaga - Paparazzi
LMFAO - Sexy And I Know It
Maroon 5 - Misery
Gwen Stefani feat. Akon - The Sweet Escape
Paramore - Monster
Blind Melon - No Rain
Gym Class Heroes feat. Adam Levine - Stereo Hearts
Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life
Adele - Someone Like You
The All-American Rejects - Give You Hell
Nickleback - When We Stand Together
Katy Perry - Firework
U2 - Beautiful Day

Again, NONE of these are remixes. They're all originals. Something else interesting is that their jingles keep saying "Ride the Vibe of Vegas... The Highway Vibe" and "Feel the Vibe of Vegas with The Highway Vibe"... DISGRACE TO THE VIBE NAME!!! Jodie didn't give me accurate information, to say the least, when she said that there would be 6 dance tracks per hour.
