Journey 94.1

Alternative on 97.3 is a stupid idea. Too many limitations to that signal. It didn't work when "The Sound" was there before... and I thought The Sound was a great product. If you really want alternative, use the heritage of 97X. The signal has been upgraded somewhat, and is actually located in an area where you would hit that demographic. First Broadcasting had a golden opportunity and missed it.

As for Cumulus, I miss the days of radio wars, when great stations and formats were created to win... not just to put a crap product on for "flanking" or "squeezing" the competition.

Welcome to the 21st Century way of Corporate Radio- where it's not the QUALITY that matters, but it's the QUANTITY of stations that you own..playing the same old music krap thats already been spun 50 million times before.
 
Had the chance to hear Journey 94-1 over the last couple of days:

Where WREW plays a few disco tunes (lingering ghosts of Mojo?) Journey 94-1 seems to play forgotten AC tunes. I was surprised to hear "Foolish Heart" by Steve Perry, for example.

The big problem here is that the entire market, at the moment, is grossly overloaded with "classic hits" in one form or another.

Depending on where you are in the tri-state, 92.9, 94.1, 94.9, 95.3, 100.3, 103.5, 106.5 are all playing classic hits of some variation. Add 70's 80's / retro weekends on the AC stations, and you have a nightmare scenario.
 
Based on the (zero) follow up on messages... I'll assume this was a joke? Or the format bombed out?
