Nine FM this morning

J

JeremyAndrews

Been listening to Nine FM this morning. Here's what I've been hearing since I turned it on:

Melissa Etherage - Come To My Window
Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl
U2 - Evelation
Lit - My Own Worst Enemy
Coldplay - Speed Of Sound
Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music
Will Smith - Switch
Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life
Black Eyed Peas - Don't Mess With My Heart
Dion - Runaround Sue
Styx - Come Sail Away
Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc
Sheryl Crow - Light In Your Eyes
Beastie Boys - Brass Monkey
Stone Temple Pilots - Creep
ID @ 3:01AM "92.7 Is WKIE Arlington Heights-Schaumberg-Chicago Nine FM On 92.7 We Play Anything"
UNID 80s sounding song. Couldn't make out the lyrics.
Toby Keith - As Good As I Once Was
Elton John - The Bitch Is Back
Lisa Lisa - Lost In Emotion
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again



Sounds kind of like a cross between Hot AC/Adult CHR Variety Hits/Rock with less constant classic rock/hits then before. Its still among my favorite stations in the market. I loved how they tossed in the Dion and Toby Keith.<P ID="signature">______________

I like them.... Was out with the GF this weekend in the Northwest Burbs and we pretty much had it on Nine (it's weird hearing "Nine-FM on 99.9 or 92.7" I'm used to 92.5) that is if we didn't have a CD on.

Nine is probably one of the only tolerable station out here in Rockford... I mean, other than The X and the 2 CR stations I pretty much listen to 92.5 unless I can get Q102 (Lena), The Hub (Rochelle), or Kool 95.7 (Oregon) (even though the latter 2 are off the "bird", though from what I hear 95.7 somehow does local VTing) then it's a mix of all of them.

See, that's good. Tehy even through hiphop in there. Really makes me think that they do play anything!! I haven't heard JACK play HipHop. Good work 9!! Now they just have to add a dance song or two. LOL

Jack doesnt seem to play current hip hop or dance, but it does play some from the 80s

Nenah Cherry - Buffalo Stance
Tetrohonic (sp?) - Pump up the jam
etc.

I think part of jack is trying to appeal to the "I listened to B96 in the 80s" card, which is smart of them IMHO

That said, I think it is smart of 9 to play more current music so it doesn't step on Jack's toes. But anyone notice that 9 is getting RATINGS? One of the few stations it seems to have a good book this last time around.

Adam, what CD's were you and your lady listening too?

Just curious, how about J.A., Zelen, Rock Man, musiclover -- all the luminaries in here? What are you guys rockin in the whips?

Here's what I got in the bucket:

The Bravery
Stereophonics
Keane
My Chemical Romance
Coheed & Cambria
Placebo's Greatest Hits
Kings of Leon

I know it's off topic, just quickly list them. I'm doing an informal survey of Chicago area radio insiders!

Love Bravery, Stereophonics, Keane, Coheed & Cambria, Placebo and Kings Of Leon. I think several of these are heard on Nine

It sounds like they're playing more commericals, but I don't have time on my hands to time the commercial breaks. I do know they have a variety of commercials compared to just 6 months ago. I do know last night it sounded like the automation was wacked up because 2 different songs were playing at the same time, then during the countdown they played the part announcing #6 twice, then switch it over to #1. I'm waiting for the day that the localcasting messes up and plays the part announcing Nine FM on (insert frequency here).

Re: Nine FM problem

The studios suffered a power failure and were operating on UPS power when the main music system UPS ran down. The control room and other areas which are on different UPS's continued to run. Power came back and some things picked right back up where they left off...other didn't.
