the new zone 106.1

Listening to the zone over the weekend and today, they are now playing mostly all hip hop. Maybe one pop song out of 10 and all hip hop at night. Seems they are going after z104 and will not be a true CHR mainstream station. Q94 in Richmond is playing very little rap these days. I have never heard that station sound so bad and the new night show guy stinks. New PD time again?
 
OK, so it wasn't me. They have added a lot more Hip-Hop...

They have added more, but that is what is in right now, and so they are skewing that way, but still staying CHR so when it changes it will be able to transform back, unlike Z104. This is very popular for CHR's, and rt now hip hop is in again, when 50 Cent dies out again it will be gone again.

That is the cycle of CHR's

- but I did hear Ying Yang Twins- Naggin at 1130pm, that never hit Top 40, but it was great mix, that is the MTV audience and that is what they are going for - listen to their id "If MTV actually played music they sound like this..."

Ok but my question is, for anyone who listens to q94, is why all of the sudden is q94 basically playing no new rap. The only hip hop they play is recurrents, like baby bash, suga suga. They sound more like a hotac now.Why does Richmond not have a hip hop station? And the two urban stations here don't count.
 
Well the hot ac is not them,too much hip hop, not enough 80's and old school actually none and they do play new rap - in the nightime.
They do not play hip hop like the Zone, but the Zone also plays hip hop that most CHR's in the country will never touch !!!!

example- ying yang twins- naggin

Q 94 can only be considered HOT AC on Fridays w/ Flashback Friday, and they get alot of audience on that.

Hell I know ppl 15 yrs olds listening to Q and some in their 50's and 60's. SO they have to appeal to all ppl. Their main focus is 12-34, but they have older and appeal to them.

Davis is not the best show I liked Jake Glenn better, but do not tell the ratings that they have climbed on both this show and the station.

Q is better CHR than the ZONE cause Q is a TRUE CHR, but the ZONE has bigger library, and yes I do like the Zone better because of that. But the Zone plays things over too much and are not taking full control over their bigger library.. I listened for 3 hrs and heard "Behind These Hazel Eyes" twice, "Lose Control" by Missy twice, "Candy Shop" by 50 twice.....etc, so I had to turn it off

And for the urban stations....Power 92 Jamz is a great station w/ off the hook mix shows and the Beat follows right behind. THey are both doing great and if there was only one of them a Hip Hop station would be # 1. Plus Richmond does not need a station that Norfolk had (92.1 the Beat, u saw the poor ratings on that and how it is gone)

Our urban stations I think are better than the 2 in the DC area. 93.9 and 95.5 - but nothing tops 92.3 up in B-more. They are awesome and same w/ HOT 1021 in VA Beach. If HOT had a single they could rule the 757.
