As of now, im sure only radio geeks know this station actually exsist as of now. Give them time, hopefully they'll do the right thing. Anyone know if they made mention of a new hip-hop choice on sister station 106.7?
 
Yep. Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" was poor quality. It sounded as if it was ripped from the internet at a low bitrate. Of course, that's just one song tho. They still have opportunity tho, give them some time!
 
My guess is that it's going to be a pretty good competition to Q-93!

Before the switch, Papa Smurf made a few mentions to the effect of something is happening at 102.9 at 10:29 and encouraged listeners to check it out.
 
It may just have been my car radio, but it sounds like their audio quality is not up to par - could the transmitter still be set for processing that was favorable for Old School?

And if all this is going to be is a syndicated show in the morning and a jukebox the rest of the day, sorry, that's not going to beat Q.

And their voice guy sounds familiar - is he the same one from Max 94.1 out of Baton Rouge?

Definately not just you or your car radio. The processing definitely needs some adjustments. Faster release time and less gating. Quiet parts of songs barely pass thru! ::) Man, Citidel loves those high gate adjustments on all their stations. What's the point of extreme gating??

True.

Voice Guy sounds like Rick Party. Eric Edwards or Mitch Craig should have been used.

mp3 audio on processing for wav? LeBron isn't stupid, but when you transfer files outside of hard drive to hard drive, most of the time the files end up mp3 by default. Could be just a simple oversight that will cost them time and money. New York will LOVE that!!

Just let it be known on here. Surely someone will read it and make some changes.

“We are thrilled to welcome Non Stop Hip-Hop to the New Orleans area”, said Mayor C. Ray Nagin.

Cmon, did Nagin really have that in the press release? Is that a joke or something?

A harmless quote in a harmless press release. What's he supposed to say, "Forget 102.9, I'm still listening to Q?"

I'm sure New Orleanians have more important complaints of Mayor Nagin.

Sounds like a lot of nonsense for a 2 share radio station.

Now, can we get back to something REALLY important like WGSO or WIST or reliving Bob Walker and the Captain's glory days of 40 years ago???

Happy New Year Everyone!
