So, How long has Energy SF had this CHILL Show

I decided to click on the stream for Energy SF today, and noticed that they are doing a 4 hour Chill Show. How long has this been going on? Is this a nightly thing, or just once a week? Some Dance stations in Europe play CHIll, or ballads at night, so Im open minded to hearing some Smooth Electronica on Energy once in while, what do you guys think about Energy playing Chill?
 
I think they've been doing it for a few months now - have to admit, I'm not a fan of this type of music. I listen to Energy SF as my choice for dance right now - their playlist is excellent, their on-air talent is exceptional right now and overall I think the station is sounding hot, so I just can't get into the Chill-out program. It's my only gripe on the whole station, however, I accept it and don't complain - they are doing a great job overall! We're lucky to have this station committed (fingers crossed) to the format - as all the others around the country....

Sorry for getting off topic!

The Chill show has been on since August.

I like the genre of music, but I just don't like the show on Energy.<P ID="signature">______________

I like the idea of having a chill show on a dance station.
I take it they are doing this station on Sunday nights?
Sunday afternoon would be a more ideal slot for my taste, but I like that they have it either way.
So what were they playing?

Because you dance to disco but you still like rock.</P>
 
It's about time someone picks up on some of this music here in the States. 1Club.fm's website has an electronic station that plays some great stuff by Ladytron, Rinocerose, Jem, Leftfield, Thievery Corporation and more. Believe it or not sales on many of these artists are in the 100,000's of thousands and they get little to NO airplay at all. Granted not all of it is mass appeal, neither is Barry Manilow or Gordon Lightfoot and yet how many people listen to them in their own personal space. Very few would admit it but many do.

Couldn't agree with you more on everything you wrote. This music does sell, and Chill/Ambient stations on places like Club FM and Digitally Imported are excellent to listen to.

I'm a little surprised there is never much mention about some mainstream radio stations that have chill shows nightly; one in particular, KWMT - 92.9 the Mountain (AAA)in Tucson. Their chill show goes 7 nights a week from 11 pm - 1:00 am and has been on the air for several months now. It's more encouraging to hear this music on a more mainstream station (IMO) than on a station that you would expect to hear it on.
 
Well, for the most part, I simply look at Mediabase a few times a week to know I don't need to listen to radio. I'm pretty aware of what's going to get added and when and why as well as where it's going to break format wise so there's no wow factor for me, it doesn't suit my personal tastes nor does it fit into what I want when I want it. Internet Radio and Satellite offer not just a "show" from time slot to time slot but the entire format and for me as well as many others on this board, it takes more of our listening time. Radio hasn't lost me as a client but it's lost me as a listener long ago - for the most part. I'm sure that's the norm (listening habit wise, I don't think everyone goes through Mediabase but in my line of work I do)
