Not related to the HD2 channel of WPOI but why is radio in general over-saturating the airwaves with Rhythmic CHR and watered down Hip Hop. In 2003 you had WFLZ, Wild 98.7 and 95.7 The Beat to hear Hip Hop and Rhythmic music. Now you have 93.3, 94.1, 100.7 and 101.5 playing quite a bit of this type of music. Maybe not the same artists or same songs but still.
The increased airplay of rhythmic type music is not just solely on CHR stations. Hot AC has taken a huge turn towards abandoning the Matchbox 20 and Maroon 5 for music from artists such as Flo Rida and Pitbull. 100.7 is a prime example as it sounds more and more like FLZ by day.
People like to make accusations of having a playlist that is too "White Bread". "The Eagle", "The Point" and even a few Adult CHR stations have been accused of mainly focusing on music that focuses on white artist, playing very little if any Rhythmic Product. I criticize radio stations that do this, why can't The Eagle play some Earth, Wind and Fire and some Bee-Gees with that Loverboy, that or why did "The Point" avoid playing artists like The Pointer Sisters and Micheal Jackson. However what about radio super-serving, CHR, Rythmic CHR and Hip Hop. Why is there no objection to that. Maybe the radio companies turn a blind eye to super-serving this particular type of music because its the music the 18-34 crowd wants.
Why can't CHR just keep itself balanced genre wise like it was 40 years ago. Also why should Hot AC sound more and more like CHR, especially if the market already has a good CHR station.
