Maybe this formula could work in L.A and Miami

If you have a Live 365 account, look up a channel that calls itself Dance Nations... For those of you that dont really have the time to sample this station, or if you dont have a prescription for live 365. go ahead and list the station desrition.

The Dance hits station with an Urban/Latino twist..... Dance...Club...and House.... Alongside Rhythmic pop, R&B,,,,, reggaeton... and a little Salsa once in awhile..

Station definately leans on current Dance hits... I think this formula could work in LA, and probably Miami as well................ THOUGHTS

Probably could also work in NYC as well....ANY station that does the dance thing with some "Latino flava" NY is the city that NEVER sleeps and NEVER stops dancing (I mean, if 105.9 here could mix reggaeton into its format, well.....)

By the way guys/girls.... Its spelled with Dancenations as one word... Im not sure if you can listen without a Live 365 VIP account, but many of the stations there are free, but they insert annoying Adds over the music. I originally signed up so I could hear John Parkers B-91 channel without the adds, but I found a few really good stations on there....

Also... Andrea, thanks for your insight, I thought about New York too,, but they already have a pretty good dance station with Pulse 87.7......

 

[andreajesus]

TRUE, but...

Since Pulse 87 is basically a LPTV kind of thing, and if this Dancenations thing could get in on a REAL FMer in New York (we ALWAYS seem to be having one station playing "format of the month" ), Pulse 87 might have reason to be scared....

Go 50 miles east of NYC. Party 105 (WDRE) comes pretty close to this.

and for the record, Live365 does not play commercials "over" the music. They do commercial breaks like every other commercial radio venture in the world.

Live365 is free to anyone that registers to listen but to listen without commericals costs a small monthly fee. I listen with commercials.

I pay the monthly fee for live 365 cause you can get more stations that way.. I really like your B-91 station, and I also like Original Hot 97, and 96.7 Party from Jersey Shores,, those three are my top faves,, but I also like Party 95.5 from Tampa, its a Dance Leaning CHR and has jocks and imaging and everything, almost sounds like a real station, but its a net only.. Also theres Blaze 95.7 also from jersey, and they have a Dance/Hip Hop format similar to Party 105 and the old WPYO Party 95.3 in Orlando.... And the special Player that VIPs get is really nice, and it supports Mp3 Pro...

 

[JohnParker]

Yes, there are lots of great stations on Live365 in all genres. The ones that are running "VIP Only" are (99% of the time) stations that either have been abandoned by the people running them or stations that just got their bill for the royalties that they owe and did realize how much money they needed to run a "Professional" station.

Thanks for listening.

I know what you mean JP,,, The royalty rates can make fun hobby into an expensive habbit... Ive tought about just stting up a pirat stream on shoutcast, but I really want to be legit and help and expose new artists... Shoutcast is already full with Pirate-casters, These days Everyone and their dog has a station listed on Shout... At least I know that Live 365 casters are Legit...
