Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

Was reading the New Jersey board. Apparently, Atlantic City now has their own version of "Pulse 87". This after an alternative station has flipped to the new "Wild 102.7."

Anyway, as with many format flips, listener reaction is submitted to this board by the droves. Including one from resident poster Nick, who, a few hours after the station's launch, offered thoughts on the new "Wild 102.7"... then concluded with this pipedream:

"Let's hope JVC makes enough money to buy out Fresh 102.7 and replace that garbage with Wild 102.7 :)"

Sorry, Nicholas. Even if CBS Radio's faith were to run out on "that garbage" on "Fresh 102.7," they have many other more reasonable options for that frequency, including simulcasting one of their three AM frequencies. In fact, I would venture to guess that Dan Mason would feel more confident investing in BP, than sell even the lowest moneymaker in the CBS Radio portfolio, to JVC.

Sorry, I don't mean to call out a particular poster, but I took this one a little personal. The station's not even four hours old and you're anointing it as the next big radio station of the Northeast. Give it a chance.
 
Re: Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

The dance fanatics, especially Nick, reside in an alternate universe, so I wouldn't take what they say too personally. :)
 
Re: Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

The most I said was for 92.3 to take a page out of Wild's book, and FYI, Wild is not a version of "Pulse 87".
 
Re: Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

That's a bit harsh to call him out on another board, isn't it?

That comment seemed more in jest, or in the poster's fantasy. I don't think Nick actually believes there's any chance of 102.7/NY simulcasting 102.7/AC.
 
Re: Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

I am flattered to be put in the spotlight. Why must people always go after dance stations and the "Pulse people" who listen to them?

I remember someone made a thread calling out a dance fan who made a few typos that she needed "remedial English". When Pulse begged for money, and when they went bankrupt, there were several hate threads here. When Party left 87.7, even more hate. I am used to the hate for my choice of music that dates back to when I was teased in high school for liking "techno". So continue telling me that dance music sucks.

Why are there no threads calling out the fans of WCBS-FM for being "stuck in the past"?

As for my perception of WWFS, I hate Fresh 102.7's version of the AC format, and I hate that other AC stations (Lite, Magic) are copying Fresh by playing music that shouldn't be played on AC. And I hate that last night Fresh 102.7 was interfering with Wild 102.7 all the way in Hammonton, NJ! I apologize for bashing Fresh 102.7 (if you can even call that bashing) as I am clearly out of its target demographic.

If you listened to Wild 102.7, or just looked at its playlist, you would know that Wild 102.7 is Atlantic City's version of Party 105.

MarcR, can you explain why you made this thread? http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?topic=149277.0

Funny you say that MarcR (and DToTheJ, since you started this thread on Nick D). But I won't stoop to saying that rock fans reside in an alternate universe because there are MANY rock fans out there that are cool people. Honestly, if the marketplace in A.C. dictated that another rock station similar to 'JSE launches, then I'd be happy for you guys because I honestly have NO hate for anyone regarding their tastes in music. That is all relative to the person tuning in. Yet I couldn't help but notice someone in the NJ board go and say "your kind" in reference to getting on Vic Latino's case regarding the flip. Am I to expect that here???

And while my rock friends may not appreciate dance music, they certainly don't spew out their venom towards anyone imparticular. So in that sense, I don't take what you say personally because time and time again, you've clearly showed your hate. I will give you that, you've been very consistent with that hate. In that sense, people know who you are and figure "Oh...MarcR is blowing his typical turd on dance fans again". ::)

But on Nick, when I "blew up" on you regarding what you had said on that thread, I had a strong feeling that you just gave "ammo" to get bit in the butt on from these people. Why do you think I say STOP IT! Yet time and time again, you don't get it....and yeah, you've been very consistent on that! ::)
 
Re: Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

Let me backtrack a second. I'll admit where I am wrong on something.

DToTheJ, I hear ya. :( After doing a re-read on your response, I can understand why you had to strike. Just as we don't want people hating on dance fans, this attitude cannot happen from dance fans as well regarding other music. To that my full apologies. :) There are certain music that I may be less into than others, but I also am a fan of music in general and in that sense, there is NO music that is "garbage" in that respect. It's all relative to the person hearing a particular sound that they like.

Well, first of all, most people can relate to classic hits music, or recognize songs from that genre. And don't forget, corporate radio phased out the word "oldies" for a reason: they didn't think the word had strong vibes with target demos and advertisers. Which leads me to the next point: classic hits sells. In most cases, dance doesn't. Not to besmirch your new radio station, but I believe I have given credit on this board to Pulse/Party for giving it a go. You just never know until you try.

Boy, that's deplorable. That's something right out of the Ross Perot playbook.
 
Re: Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

This thread makes me feel like I am back in High School. ;D

All I'm going to say is that Wild 102.7 is a reason for us Dance/Rhythmic fans to celebrate with fireworks this weekend!!

Let the haters soak in their hate. ;)

I didn't take offense to begin with, at least from you. Nor was I hating on the format. I just didn't think it was wise for a fan of the genre to make such a boisterous prediction about the fate of a radio station which he admittedly does not listen to - at least at his own volition, anyway - when his new favorite radio station isn't even a full day old as I type this message!
 
Re: Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

The "garbage" I was referring to was the format of Fresh 102.7 which to me sounds like a trainwreck. Not the individual songs, just Fresh's execution of the AC format.

My primary motive was to plug John Gorman's blog rather than celebrate the demise of Energy 92.7.

Incidentally, the dance fanatics that post on this board live in an alternative universe because they won't accept that it's nearly impossible to recreate on the radio for 24/7 the "collective effervescence" (a term I learned in a sociology course) of a dance club. I don't, as well, think my logic qualifies as "hate".

Okay, if don't want to say hate....how about this....IGNORANCE

Who said a dance formatted radio station has to sound like a dance club? I never did. A dance formatted station should be like EVERY OTHER station...playing the popular tracks. Simple.

Dance radio stations do not want to become a dance club on the airwaves. That statement alone proves a lack of knowledge of the format. A dance format is just an up beat hi energy music format. Most dance fans in my opinion are to elitist to understand it cant be an all one sided format but the need to embrace pop records that remixes or played in the original form. Top 40 is embracing more of the genre and so is the hip-hop world.
 
Re: Sorry, Nick: "Wild 102.7"/AC WILL NOT Be Simulcast On WWFS/"Fresh 102.7"

I am a listener of dance music and while it is my preferred style of music usually,I don't listen to it exclusively.I go through my phases of what I listen to.That doesn't make me a casual listener but a selective listener and certainly not a fanatic.

Late 80's Hard Rock,Freestyle ,House
Early 90's Techno,Hip Hop
95-2000 Dance music in general
2000-2004 Nu metal,dance
2005-now rhythmic pop/dance

That's just a general overview and I left some genres out because it didn't pertain to this thread.
