sunny 1033 becomes gen x radio

Upon second listen it seems to be mostly 90s with 80s and 2000s sprinkled in. But i still feel the playlist is too wide. People who would listen to a 90s grunge song arent gonna stick around for a 80s pop ballad, or 90s gangster rap song. This may be a high cume format but the tsl has got to be horrible. just my 2 cents.

Coolio, Soundgarden, Metallica, and Madonna all on the same playlist happened a lot during the 90s in the CHR format, depending on what station we're talking about. The late WGTZ/Z-93 in Dayton, OH. had a playlist much like that throughout the early 90s.
 
All I can remember is since about 1980s when it was country 103.3 WKJN (I still see the Kajun Van in Paincourtville BTW)

Then it was country WCAC Cat Country 103

Been A/c a few times as well as the horrible 2nd station Diva

Just wondering how long before this format blows up
 
See, everyone says "this is too wide of a playlist", but, as a 30 year old, I have no problem with that. Whenever I listened to 90s on 9, I would wonder, "Why isn't someone doing this on regular radio?"

It may not be your cup of tea, but it's something I would be interested in and check out. I would stick around for a 90s grunge song into a 80s pop ballad and etc.

I have no problem with wide playlist, in fact AAA is my favorite radio format. That said, this station has no ebb and flow to the formatics. I have heard jack type stations that blend various formats and do it so well you know a music director put a lot of thought into the music set. Even with that planned flow it still had the effect of wondering what theyd play next. I just dont hear that with this station.

Maybe because you know it's going to rooted in the 90s, opposed to a Jack-type station?
 
Yet another un-researched knee jerk decision thrown on the radio from Judy Ellis and her entourage of yes men in New York who think they can fix a station with a format switch. Gen X isn't even a Citadel idea! It is licensed and programmed by Clear Channel, so anything you hear in Baton Rouge is a Scott Shannonized version of the real thing that is designed to be a flanker in Major or Large Markets. This will be the next failure in a series of mistakes made by a bankrupt company who won't learn their lessons from previous mistakes.

It's mind boggling that SUNNY was being promoted with a heavy TV campaign only a few weeks ago. Do you really think they planned Gen X while they were wasting TV dollars to promote a lame duck format? Insiders say she decided to flip the format on a whim while doing a market visit.

I was there during her hasty DIVA, RED and WIBR decisions...and this reeks like the plot of Ground Hog Day...Waking up to the same nightmare over and over.

My prediction? Gen X fails miserably...Less than a 1 share and yet another format change within a year.
 
And you wonder people are listening to CD's and Satellite Radio.....
 
imo......this station was kinda fun to listen to at first but im starting to hear so many repeats. its getting old quick.
