Hot 96.9 First Song?

[Jimmy128]

Too bad that it feels like the same 14 songs per hour.

They probably play closer to 13-14 songs per hour - and I think in a press release they mentioned sometime in mid-February.

13,000 songs in a row!

Anyone keeping track of the song count?

40 songs/hr x 24 hrs x 13 days = 12480;
40 24 14 = 13440;
50 24 10 = 12000;
50 24 11 = 13200;

So, I’d say it could be any time now! :

Whoa! DUH! (dumb-slaps self)

I was thinking in terms of per 4 hr.s (as in a top-30, -40, -50 countdown show).
So let’s try that again: Whereas a top-40 countdown in 4 hr.s is 10/hr, while in 3 hr.s is 13.33333.../hr, so yeah, let’s say


10 songs/hr x 24 hrs x 54 days = 12960; Mar 11
10 24 55 = 13200; 12
13 24 41 = 12792; Feb 26
13 24 42 = 13104; 27
14 24 38 = 12768; 23
14 24 39 = 13104; 24
15 24 36 = 12960; 21
15 24 37 = 13320; 22


Yup, probably another good month.

Is it just me or does all their music sound distorted where the volume is 20% higher than other stations...

I've noticed this as well, in certain songs like "I Cry" by Flo Rida. The bass will sound distorted. I know it's a brand new radio station, but in my opinion things like this should be unacceptable in a top 10 market. However, they are sounding better. It seems like the selection of "throwbacks" is expanding, and the new imaging sounds great.

I haven't noticed anything new in terms of throwbacks. Just the usual Michael Jackson, Ja Rule and etc.

And can you explain why are they playing I will Survive?? This just doesn't sound right in between Ja Rule and Pitbull
