Tampa Bay's "NEW" HOT 101.5 turning to be too "crappy" and now, too mainstream.

Apparently, I am telling HOT 101.5 to go back to their high toned music. And I mean how sister stations, WBLI in Long Island and WPUP Power 100.1 in Athens, GA and how their music sounds. Now, I think there may be songs that may be added like this, and I am not so happy about it, and if they do it more, I feel like people are going back to rival 93.3 FLZ. Now, 101.5 in Tampa now sounds like Z100 in NY if they keep on doing it. However, other stations are doing it too, like the "NEW" 92.3 AMP Radio, also in NYC, Z102.9 in Cedar Rapids, and sister station Hits 97.3 in Miami (IDK why everyone likes KVJ Show.)
Here is a list of songs that are in their default tone (as of August 18, 2014.) :

-Iggy Azalea/Rita Ora-Black Widow.
-Clean Bandit-Rather Be.
-Becky G-Shower.
-Steve Aoki/Kid Ink-Delerious (Boneless).
-Kiesza-Hideaway.
-Sia-Chandelier.
-Charli XCX-Boom Clap.
-Ariana Grande/ZEDD-Break Free.
-Meghan Trainor-All About That Bass.
-Jessie J/Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj-Bang Bang.
-Coldplay-A Sky Full of Stars.
-Pharrell Williams/Miley Cyrus-Come Get it Bae.
-Jeremih-Don't Tell Em.

At least 4 songs have been converted back from HOT's high toned that they used since their 2011 inception into their default settings:

-John Legend-All Of Me.
-Sam Smith-Stay With Me.
-Maroon 5-Maps
-Enrique Inglesias-Bailando.

If they keep on doing it like this, they will lose ratings and will go down in the Nielsen Ranks, and we might just go back to FLZ, once in a while.

Also, I have some new songs they added and songs they might add in this setting:

-Katy Perry-This Is How We Do.
-Nicki Minaj-Anaconda
-5 Seconds of Summer-Amnesia.

Cool kids and Boom Clap are the best songs in a while, imo

Well, Cool Kids by Echosmith is not on Hot 101.5, but I will add it to the soon to be list. Did Hot 101.5 do any special insults to FLZ during it's 25th Birthday? Also, Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass (which is #1 on the Billboard Charts when I typed this, #5, and #10 in the CHR and Hot AC charts on AT40 respectively) goes from one time at a low, default pitch like the other songs that are recently on the station to being high pitched like Latch and Rude the next. I think HOT 101.5, not you is the ridiculous one, no offense, but 101.5 puts songs at low pitch (what they do now), then adjust the pitch liked they used to.

What is "high toned music"?

Ohh... Golden Eagles, what I meant by high tone is high pitch. On Audacity, it is called semi-tones. Radio Stations usually put 1/2 of a semi-tone in their music, like 101.5 competitor, FLZ. If they have done it, like ever since their format began, I am not concered about it. But when they switch "semi-tones" from 1/2 to normal, it really disturbs me! Now, 101.5's sister station Power 100.1 in Athens, GA is doing it too. Hits 97.3 is also doing it, but I am not complaining about them because, it's MIAMI! Most Pop stations have default (0) semi-tone, with the exception of CBS-pending station, WPOW.

Oops... that plan for 101.5 to lower their ratings because of this pitch kinda backfired. Recently, 101.5 was below FLZ. NOW, they are on top of the ratings, despite this. I don't like this one bit... not a single one.
