Since Boss radio has come on.....I noticed the Sacramento airwaves are sounding alittle more broader & deeper (as far as playlists are concerned.)
For the first time I've been tuning in over my satellite radio to what has been missing for a long time. Unincorporated radio. Finally the stations are going back to the way it was played, not the way advertising consultants want it played.
KCCL has a done a well surprising job. And it seemed to open other area station's playlist according to their format. Flash 92.1 has had surprises, songs of the 80's I thought I would never here again, Y92 is advertising more songs that there adding you haven't heard in a long time. How deep ,only listening time will tell. It looks like someone is going into the Joel Whitburn book of charted music and researching the question, where did we go wrong or where did all the songs we played on KROY went to.
It gets to a point where who cares about directly targeting this and targeting that, yes I know it's ratings and it's money, but it isn't listeners. And that's why it's bland. No one has to show up to any ball games, but your still going to have a team in first place by the end of baseball season.
The only bout I have on the boss format is that the album tracks should be taken out. Foghat's "Big Ten Inch" is inappropriate. "Slow Ride" and "Third Time Lucky" should be the only cuts from that group. George Thourogood, Certain AC/DC, Bob Seger tracks etc, belongs to stay on KSEG. They were never singles or boss hits. But hey....it's much better then it has been. KCCL and Flash have been an added bonus toward satellite radio. But just in case it doesn't test well with female collies ages 5-9 or men & women 350 lbs or over...I'm not canceling my XM subscription yet.
