I am definitely loving the new sound of The New Movin 97.5, but
MAYBE, in 2010....
The New Movin 97.5 will stop giving mix 96.9 so much free advertisement by always talking about which songs they don't play before playing those songs! I must admit I think about Mix 96.9 a lot more these days while listening to Movin than I would think about it on my own. I know Movin is basically supposed to be the opposite of what Mix is format-wise, but I don't think they really need to focus much effort on making it very clear to their listeners which songs 96.9 [might] not be playing. And lastly, why are they "fighting with" 96.9 when KZZP is more on their side of their format theme?
Anyway, other than that, Movin is serving me really nicely right now, and hopefully, maybe in 2010, they'll liven up just a little bit. I still have Sat. nights on lock down, and I've noticed how catchy their Sat. night block party mixes are, through other peoples' reaction and movements toward it. Before I got my mom locked on KOOL FM, I had her asking me to "put it back on that station" (Movin), and it ALL started because a few months back we were cleaning up her place for some guests and I had the Sat. night block party was on. I'll just say it was the first time I saw her get down like that, for that long, in a while. Movin has really gotten better since then, and maybe in 2010, things will continue to hopefully look brighter across the dial, even though I may not be here to experience it live.
I'll probably listen a bit from London..
