Sunny tweaks again

[Magnum]

I noticed today that Sunny has dropped the Lunchtime Workout. They also have tweaked their playlist by playing more ballads and putting lower rotation on the disco/rhythmic music. Check out their playlist at www.yes.com, and I'm sure you'll notice the difference. I turned them on in the 12 o'clock hour today and heard "One More Night" Phil Collins and knew something was up! I haven't heard that song on Sunny in well over a year. I also noticed that they're playing Barry Manilow again and the Carpenters. Thoughts?

Thoughts? How 'bout Julius. Now there's a thought.

I'm not Julius but I have a thought (or at least a question) anyway:

Speaking of Lunchtime Workouts, does WIOQ still have its, like it did in mid-2003 when it was on in the office where I worked at the time?

I think we need to start rolling tape on WSNI 104.5 FM . I think that CC will change formats on 104.5 FM.

I only have 2 blank 90 minute tapes left. I used most of my tapes to record current Philly airchecks.

A format flip is certainly worth using up some tape!

I plan to tape 90 minutes of the WSNI tonight and 90 minutes of WJJZ tomorrow.

Does anyone remember in 1999 when jammin gold said they where gonna change
and all it was a $2million dollar giveaway

Well, someone has to take the hint from Onthemove, so I will.

WJJZ flips to Alan Burns' new Movin' Rhythmic AC format and installs Whoopie in the morning.

Why this makes sense: The format appeals to Caucasian and Hispanic women 25-44, something that's missing in Clear Channel's Philly cluster (let's say Sunny appeals to 40-54 year old women).

It would not duplicate much music from the cluster's other stations: it's mostly rhythmic hits from the mid 80s through the 90s with a sprinkling of older, classic dance music mixed in.

So that's why Sunny tweaked its music this week: It got rid of classic disco and the noontime show so it would not duplicate this new station.

This would be the station many have said Jammin Gold should have morphed into.

Additional topic of discussion: Would anyone else in the market pick up Smooth Jazz? Anne Gress, who had a history with WJJZ, is already PD at WOGL.

(in best "kiddie blue"/faux dance fan whine
Great, just what this market needs, another g***am rhythmic station....

... And All That Jazz
Rumors are flying about a possible flip at CLEAR CHANNEL Smooth Jazz WJJZ/PHILADELPHIA. If true, what format will the station be movin' to? Whisperers are whispering it could happen any day. Watch this space for details.
