Boy that Ferras song has really taken off hasn't it...I think this one is probably testing a lot better with listeners than it's doing on the charts.

Interesting that your current selection seems a little more toward the center than it used to be...please correct me if I'm wrong! What's your thoughts on the format right now?

I have kept our own playlist around a middle-of-the-road Hot AC over the last year or so. Right now I'm testing the waters of Bright AC, just a little bit, to see how it goes over.

The Ferras song is getting a pretty good response out here... but not really off-the-wall yet.

And honestly, my playlist may be a little more straightforward right now, but that's how my listener response has directed it.

One DEFINITE non-straightforward song though... "Fake It" by Seether. I'm still reluctant to open it up to middays... but the response for that song is off the charts... definitely one of the best reactions I've seen since I've been here.

The Robbie Williams was a nice surprise. Glad someone in the States knows about him!

It's only in the "once in a whenever we pull it out of our ass" rotation... but it's a fun one to throw in once in a while

Beej, would love it if your station was streaming. Do you really play all those different songs? Wow that's a lot!

Yup.. we play all of that. We just recently re-imaged and relaunched, and I tightened up the playlist just a little, but we still spin some fun stuff in the Vault category.

I'll set up my "backdoor" stream again in a day or two and send you the link so you can check it out!

I'll post some new sample hours since the change soon... and some of our Nothing but 90s weekend too

Wow, right out of pop/rock into pure 80s vintage metal with "Finish what you started" during the first hour, intresting to see how the listner reacted to such a segue.

Also noticed Pat Benetar's "Invincable" I seem to be hearing this one more frequently on pop focused variety hits, but the first time I've seen it on a Hot AC playlist, still kudos for throwing in a couple of great modern classics.

The down side: "Fly" Sugar Ray, I really think we wore this out back in the 90s and it's best left in the mothball section of the audio vault...My .02 cents
