Magic makes the change to The Bridge...

R

ROCKTHEMIC

After a heart beat sfx and a few minutes of christmas music they played a country song with "Bridge" in the lyrics and then made the switch to 100.9 The Bridge "It's all about the variety". Typical mile wide inch deep classic hits station. "...everybody is crossing over"...really just 45 minutes into your new format and people are already "crossing over"...puh-lease. Nothing about music volume, or the kinds of variety and what makes them better than all the other stations in the market that play "variety". Not immpressed!!!! Weak kick off, no ceremony, no pomp, no passion... "to get more variety you'd have to own a cd store"... Are there cd stores? Technical errors... I can't stop typing...they are making one mistake after another...must ...leave....the ...keyboard.... OMG!

"Since you can't make a request, were cool with repeating" Who wrote this crap?
 
It certainly could have had a more dramatic signon. Give them time to get the kinks out. If you were looking for AAA or Country or some more specific format playing the latest drivel you might be disappointed. Many people like to listen to a mix of different genres. I have all kinds of music on my MP3 and this old Baby Boomer thinks 100.9 is playing so far an interesting mix instead of another locked in format.
 
Until the complete what sounds like an attempt to make a network connection. I hear imaging firing over songs...like they don't clocks right. Show of hands, who thinks it will be live or memorex? My vote is for the latter...
 
Am I the only one who thinks this is a joke? This has got to be a stunt format. They can't possibly be serious. Not even a little. They are enjoying us freaking out here on RI and laughing at our assumptions.

The new 100.9 is yet to come. IMO
 
The question you have to ask is; ... are they cunning enough to actually sandbag just to get a reaction from other stations in the market. To get other stations to adjust their format in defense? Are there people connected to the operation able to conjour up this kind of tactic. I don't think so... Then again...your blowing off the audience any way, why not have some fun and stick a little bamboo under the finger nails of the other Capital Region programmers. Nahhhhhhh.....
 
Lets look at a few things. They have a very small inventory of imaging. Assuming this has been in the works for a while it is hard to swallow them only having a handful of sweepers. Nearly every song played has been a trainwreck into the next. Nearly every song has had titles that indicate this isn't for good. Complicated. Sweet Dreams. More Than A Feeling. Right Now.
 
I just can't wrap my mind around this format choice. I don't accept this as being the real deal. Nothing about this makes sense. If Magic was trouble for B95, this will be too and could actually bring B95 down which gives WGNA and WGY even more of a lead. This could potentially hurt Fly92 as well because this is a format that more women will enjoy. If it is a masquerade I wish they'd just get to the real thing. I have also heard from the wife of an advertiser that there is a client launch party for the new format on Friday. If this is the real format that isn't much to celebrate. They are playing Thriller right now which goes with the format. Scary.
 
Was listening online between about 11:00 and 11:40 this morning (2/27) and heard:

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
George Michael - Father Figure
Tone Loc - Wild Thing
Bruce Springsteen - Glory Days
Leona Lewis - Keep Bleeding
Def Leppard - Love Bites
Alanis Morrisette - I'm A Bitch, I'm A Lover
Climax Blues Band - I Love You
Billy Idol - Mony Mony
Aerosmith - Dream On

Assuming they're not stunting, I'd say they're another "Jack" Contemporary-variety clone.
