We're you there to accept the award? Sad when a soccer mom Hot AC wins a Top 40 award. Should go to an ACTUAL Top 40, like KISS in L.A. or KRBE in Houston.

1. Nice use of the quotes max. I too would use the quotes when describing Star as "Top 40"
2. Also, I guess you don't have to win in the target demo, nor actually be the format. In that case, I'd like to nominate WSB for urban station of the year.

So do you get to spend a few days with the award? Take it to your home town etc... kinda like the Stanley Cup in Hockey? Not jealous of Star - just confused - a Top 40 award didn't go to a TOP 40 station.

Yep, I agree. Star-94 is a damn good radio station. A hot AC station. If they won Hot AC Station of the Year, that would be fair. They are not a Top-40 or CHR station. So, along with the WSB Urban nomination, I'd like to nominate V-103 as Country Station of the Year. Note to Max: I'm not criticizing your beloved Star, but rather the awards process. I have my favorites and preferences, but I'm staying out of that arguement!

I get that you and FMFreq think Q100 is the greatest radio station ever (probably mainly because you work there) but there are only so many format labels out there. Star is more of a Top40 station than Classic Rock so you kind of have to roll with it.
I'm sure once you get you 10k more watts you'll be the #1 station in the market and we'll all forget that Star94 is even on the dial. (Kind of like Z93 or DaveFm or what ever they are this week.)

Well you don't have to... but you have lots of inside info on Q100 and were very quick to note the approval of the power upgrade. You always have the ratings break down... and let us know how great Q is. I'm sure max has the inside track for Star.
Maybe I just wish I had an inside track... Oh well.

Eh. Valid points, but the FCC's site has all the info on the upgrades and alot of people have access to the breakdowns.

Basically, STAR won according to the categories in place at this time. Stations are not as easily segmented as they used to be anyway. When Q has their power increase they will get their chance to take on Star. Then the listeners will decide.......

It certainly sound like either jealousy or envy. What do you not consider star a top 40 station?

No problem Big Al. Why is not "fair" that star won the award? Star doesn't control the "awards process" as you wish to call it. Listening to some on here you would think that Star runs the awards and voted themselves the award.

We all love to jump to conclusions that since we defend or "jump on" a certain radio station is because we work there or work for the competition. It's funny though I never said ANYTHING about Q100 in my post. I just don't think Star 94 deserves a Top 40 award. Not sure how that makes me work for Q - but I do think they are a TRUE Top 40.

Nope - I agree. Never said Star controlled the awards - they are still in the Top 40 category in NAB's eyes. It will become interesting when Q's power increase happens. Good luck to both Star & Q.
