HIP HOP PIRATE RADIO STATION 89.1 FM IN RENO NEVADA 1998

B

blazin2009

The Reno Hip-Hop scene has grown in the last 15 years in almost every possible way. Back in 1993 the only radio station that remotely played anything pop, let alone hip-hop was Wild Bill Cody on 97.3…

…We started the first “Pirate” radio station in 1998 (using downloaded music) 89.1 FM, and broadcasted everything from Underground Hip-Hop to West Coast/East Coast Gangsta Rap, all the way to High-Energy House, Trance, & Drum ‘n Bass.

The people loved it so much, that within a year, someone else started 93.7 FM (they called it WILD 93.7), which I believe eventually became 102.9 FM, to satisfy the growing thirst for Hip-Hop in Northern Nevada.
 
93.7 and 102.9 are not connected or related. Wild 102.9 in Reno is a Citadel station, they do this format well. In Binghamton, NY is Wild 104.1....which sounds very, very similar to Wild 102.9. I'm sure Citadel has other Wild's around the nation that are nearly a copy of the ones mentioned. This to Citadel is like Kiss to CC. Hey, If you do something well why not use it in as many markets as you can.
 
I KNOW CITEDEL OWNS STATIONS ALL OVER UNITED STATES I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE PIRATE STATION I WAS LISTENING TO WHEN I LIVE IN RENO NEVADA 89.1 FM THEY WERE PLAYING HIP HOP WITH CUSS WORDS WESTCOAST GANGSTA HIP HOP AND DJ RECTANGLE MIXES ALLDAY LONG WILD 93.7 SIGN ON LATER ON THEY MOVING UP THE DIAL TO 102.9 WHICH IS WILD 102.9 TODAY I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS NOW WE HAVE BETTER STATIONS THEN RENO. RENO IS A SMALL MARKET. 89.1 PIRATE DIDNT GET BUSTED AT ALL I DONT THINK THE FCC DIDNT KNOW ABOUT IT THEY WERE PLAYING CUSSWORDS FOR A YEAR IN RENO THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT.
 
OK OK I GET IT. YOU DON'T NEED TO SCREAM OUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. WE HEAR YOU WELL.

...and I thought you finally fixed your grammar!
