Power 98, every listeners dream....Wave 104's nightmare!!!

Just listening to WBPR stuff and damn, they dont take a shot like that at other stations anymore.

Its funny, because I remember Wave 104 being on in beach stores, Hotel pools, and the North Myrtle Beach Grand Prix.

Dont remember Power being played anywhere.

That is true, almost ALL businesses had either Wave 104 or WNMB, and Joy 92 sometimes, on all the time. Thank goodness businesses do not get ratings books, we had all the 12 to 34 year-olds at home and in the car listening to Power 98.

As an 11-12 year old at the time I figured Wave was THE dominant station in the area because of that, PLUS the stronger signal to boot.

Surprising that power generated the higher numbers.

And actually, I DID hear a top 40 recently take a shot at another local top 40.

Richmond's 100.3 had some girl say "Ewwwww, my Mom listened to Q94!!"

Funny and true considering Q94 has been around since 1972 playing top 40 music.

Power 98 was an amazing station in the late 80's/early 90's. It was like being at a nightclub without leaving your house or car. Wave 104 was a good station, but due to the fact how well Power 98 sounded it really made Wave 104 step it's game up as well which for it's day really made TOP 40 radio fun for the MYB. All the elements were in place which really made Power tight sounding from the processing to the liners from Mitch Craig to the music...
