No listeners. Shortest run ever for a New York radio station. It's too bad that it'll be taken by all the haters as another strike against dance music as a viable format.

Where did you hear this from? (And aren't Winter books generally given the lowest value?)

It was an interesting experiment - may still be, depending on what the owners want to do.

There is no "Winter" book. With the PPM, we have 13 28-day books a year.

Rather than run two threads on the same subject, why don't we put all further posts on this subject in the thread below:

I don't get it... If you all need to hear dance music that badly, time to plug in your iPod or get Sirius. It ain't gonna work in NYC on a commercial frequency. Don't care how many are in clubs or are a vocal minority, it's just not a mass appeal format. Even if 150,000 attend clubs every weekend to hear dance music, that's not enough to come close to sustaining a commercial property in NYC. Never mind a half-assed TV on the Radio station. This would be the same as a radio station sending pictures via fax on a subcarrier and going silent to support that. Not it's intended use.
Maybe a non-comm can pick up the dance format, it would certainly be better than the death metal on WSOU right now and would get them more listeners.

Hmmm...looks like the final full month for PARTY on 87.7 was about 146,000 cume. (see All Access). Pitiful!
Pulse, on the same frequency, had 6 times the cume. You can't say that dance is a failure because of Party's low cume. They didn't have much time to attract their own audience on 87.7.Bugsy said:
Whatever the current format is will be lucky to have even 10% of Party's cume. Party started with Pulse's million listeners. Indie Darkroom is starting with zero listeners. The union of the set of people who like Party's format and the people who like indie rock or music from 1920 is pretty close to 0. Dance music is played in clubs all over the region with large audiences. Those indie bands play in basements with audiences of 10 people if they're lucky. From what I've seen, 87.7 is repeating the same loop over and over since the middle of February.
