Power 106 changes to Today’s Hip Hop & Throwbacks

[Brandon1993]

I like the fact Power 106 playing more throwback from the 90’s and early 2000’s. Any thoughts on their format tweak.

Just as long as they don't overstep their boundaries with KDAY. That's my opinion.

Yeah because KDAY is already serving the old Power 106 listeners.

I’m 29 and I’m leaving the Power demo in a few years. I listen to primarily hip hop with KRRL, KPWR and KDAY as my go to. I listen to KDAY more often then KRRL & KPWR. IMO Real 92.3 is a resurrection of 92.3 The Beat from the 90’s.

I listened too to John London and the house party on the beat years ago. Remember folks no color lines that's how the beat became famous

I’m only 29 but I remember The Beats “No Color Lines” campaign but let’s get back on topic.

Keep in mind that KDAY and Power are owned by the same company.

I already know that they are owned by the same company. Power 106 is doing what they should’ve been doing this last decade and that means playing all generations of hip hop and capture the upper demo that used to listen to the station in the 90’s.

Side note they need to bring back the 90’s house hits like Planet Soul, Lina Santiago,etc.

What Was That Song - Powered by Mediabase

According to Power’s song log, they do play throwbacks like an hour. Read it and weep.

KDAY is on their HD2 so I doubt that is going to happen

DJ Malski plays all the hits I love at SoFi Stadium.

I looked at the mediabase recently played songs and Power has started to lean more current hip hop again because I don’t see any 90’s hip hop on their playlists.

Rightfully so. They were literally leaving kday out to die. It was a dumb move to even think of trying to add more throwbacks/gold to power’s library. There’s nothing that can be done about power. They should’ve kept big boy happy. No need for any format change. but, it’ll just continue to get dominated by 92.3

 

[Brandon1993]

As much as I’d love to hear old school on Power, it’s not going to happen because they’re catering to the generation of hip hop listeners.

92.3 should be the one playing some more 90’s throwback with their current hip hop.
