NYC Radio Dream Dial

[Theater of My Mind]

...One of the participants, a later-30's African American woman, said, "that sounds like smooth jazz" and at that moment the format's name was born.

I never liked the format but that's a great bit of history.

I guess, since we’re discussing “dream dials”, a dream dial would be what you want, not what makes sense or for mass appeal.

At least 1 Hispanic station could help, 93.9 (since it's not listed at all.)

That's pretty much what I was getting at. The topic is a dream dial for New York City, not a dream dial of stuff you like to listen to. Tweak the existing NYC lineup to accommodate formats it doesn't have, or model existing stations after out-of-market/satellite/streaming stations you think program those formats better, but don't exclude formats that dominate the real-world New York ratings. Flip some of the struggling or redundant stations to formats the city doesn't have -- not only alt and country but any out-there ideas you might have -- but don't lose sight of the fact that Spanish-language CHR is a huge part of the New York radio scene and deserves to be represented on the fantasy dial just as much as English-language CHR does.

Every station, all disco or EDM all the time! EMF? Religious disco branded tunes. [Sorta have one in the can already.....Boney M "Rivers of Babylon" which was actually done first by The Melodians in 1970]

Quick correction, it's Spanish Tropical.

So 97.9, 96.3 and 93.1 would all be Spanish Language disco/EDM?

Also the Eats Everything song is a nice holy house song. I think we have a Doney Bo... (up in the quote) money printer format if we combine it with the rap like the artist Jay Zzus. 95-5 Jesus Jamz! blazing 10 Commandments in a row!

Yes. Also all talk stations. Glenn Beck, Hannity, Dennis Prager and more, all have to do their shows with a disco/salsa delivery. Put an Autotune system next to that Optimod processor. Sing that propaganda!

Can they please have “WAP” playing during Ben Shapiro? 😂

How about WXNY 96.3, instead of a format very similar to La Mega 97.9, mixing in some English language pop songs along with the Spanish CHR music?

That's very normal all over Latin America with CHR stations.

So basically the early Mega 97.9?
