Michael Jackson...how did Lite106.7 handle it?

D

Don Juan

Just curious.....I always noted that 106.7 was a little slow to move on things, current songs, etc....

How did Lite 106.7 handle their programming in light of MJ's death?
 
They played around 5-6 consecutive MJ songs when the news broke, and though I haven't really listened much, I think they've added some MJ songs to the playlist in the days since. That's probably about it. CC concentrated its MJ energies on KTU, which went wall-to-wall Jackson from the time the story broke and through the weekend.
 
What would stations do that don't have a format that fits MJ music?
Alien Ant Farm's version of Smooth Criminal & scrounge up some country version of one of his songs?

On Thursday, between 7 and Delilah's start, i heard at least 4 MJ songs. Within the first 20 mins of Delilah, I heard 2.

I heard Michael Jackson on almost every possible format on Friday except religious. When the e-skip hit, I could hear Michael Jackson songs on a lot of stations around the country. Even a country station in Biloxi, MS played Michael Jackson.
 
I guess country formats could use the excuse "back in his heyday before this station played country we used to play Michael Jackson music way back then so let's take you back to that time for just a moment to pay tribute".
I wonder how religous stations handled delivering the story, if they even bothered? And how many news/talk stations ran songs in their entirety instead of just as bumper music into more yap...and did he ever release Spanish versions so those stations could throw some on?
