Magic needs a "fresh" approach

S

sdh483

How long will Magic 105.3 keep playing the same tired out AC songs they've been playing for years? Who still plays songs like Picture-Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow on a regular basis? YAHN! Thier 80s music used to be good but is so repetitive. JackFM plays better 80s tunes. I think it's time for Magic to have a fresher approach and start playing more adult oriented hot AC songs that aren't Rob THomas/Matchbox 20, like Mix 96.1 without hip-hop.

A nice example would be this playlist from Houston's Mix 96.5:
HOOBASTANK The Reason Island/IDJMG
PUDDLE OF MUDD Blurry Flawless/Geffen/Int.
KELLY CLARKSON Never Again RCA/RMG
POLICE Every Breath You Take A&M
PINK U + Ur Hand LaFace/Zomba
MATCHBOX TWENTY Bright Lights Atlantic
GREEN DAY When I Come Around Sire
K.T. TUNSTALL Black Horse & The Cherry Tree Relentless/Virgin
30 SECONDS TO MARS The Kill Immortal/Virgin
BLUE OCTOBER Into The Ocean Universal Motown
CREED With Arms Wide Open Wind-up
GWEN STEFANI The Sweet Escape Interscope
SNOW PATROL Chasing Cars A&M/Interscope
NICKELBACK If Everyone Cared Roadrunner/Lava/Atlantic
3 DOORS DOWN Here Without You Universal Republic
D.H.T. Listen To Your Heart Robbins
INCUBUS Dig Epic
AEROSMITH Cryin' Geffen
ROB THOMAS Little Wonders Disney/Melisma/Atlantic
NATALIE MERCHANT Carnival Elektra
DEFAULT Wasting My Time TVT
STAIND Right Here Flip/Atlantic
ROCCO DELUCA & THE BURDEN Colorful Ironworks Music
JOHN MAYER Gravity Aware/Columbia
EVANESCENCE Bring Me To Life Wind-up
PAPA ROACH Forever DreamWorks/Geffen
FRAY How To Save A Life Epic
DAUGHTRY Home RCA/RMG
GAVIN DEGRAW I Don't Want To Be J/RMG
DIDO Here With Me Arista
HINDER Lips Of An Angel Universal Republic
MANDY MOORE Extraordinary The Firm
GOO GOO DOLLS Iris Warner Bros.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD Before He Cheats Arista/RMG
SPIN DOCTORS Two Princes Epic
NICKELBACK Savin' Me Roadrunner/IDJMG
MAT KEARNEY Undeniable Aware/Columbia
FIVE FOR FIGHTING The Riddle Aware/Columbia
NIRVANA Smells Like Teen Spirit Geffen
PLAIN WHITE T'S Hey There Delilah Hollywood
ROB THOMAS Streetcorner Symphony Melisma/Atlantic
BLUE OCTOBER Into The Ocean Universal Motown
PUSSYCAT DOLLS Don't Cha A&M/Interscope
DAUGHTRY It's Not Over RCA/RMG
FRAY All At Once Epic
CREED One Last Breath Wind-up
NICKELBACK If Everyone Cared Roadrunner/Lava/Atlantic
BON JOVI You Give Love A Bad Name Mercury

THis kind of format would probably surpass Jack, and get Mix 96.1 listeners to tune into 105.3.
Most likely response: won't happen.
 
Looks like a playlist that would attract a younger audience to Magic. I don't see much on it that would attract me.

Do Magic's demos skew old currently?
