"Pop Punk Weekend" on 96.5 TDY

[atthestars]

A bit interesting regarding all of the talk about Alt 104.5 and their low ratings... another station is going after part of their low ratings this weekend.

96.5 TDY announced it's a "Pop Punk Weekend" starting at 4PM. Not sure if that means ALL Pop-Punk, or if it will be sprinkled in with their regular pop playlist. The artists mentioned on the website are your basic big names from the major emo era, My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World. Fall Out Boy etc.

Sounds like what XM’s Pop Rocks promoted a few weeks back.

Yeah, and Alt 104.5 did their Emo Valentine's weekend a few weekends back. Emo is having a bit of a renaissance, so it does make some sense to tap into it for the upper end of the CHR demo

I absolutely LOVED Alt 104.5's Emo Valentine's weekend. Especially the fact that they played some deeper emo cuts and not just the major hits. I'll definetly tune in to 96.5 and see what they pick.

So far seems just very sporadically sprinkled in. Some nice "oh wows" if you only listen to Pop radio and don't check out Alternative.
