Top 10 dance U.S. friendly stations streaming on the internet

It's pissing contests like this that make us look bad. We don't need to fight within the dance community. You have the freedom to not listen to Z88.9.

There was a pissing contest in this thread? Also, there's a dance community? Oh wait... LOL! You almost got me! That's friggin' funny!

Dancerev889 is funny too! A non-comm making money, and trying to pass of his station as EDM. You guys should do stand up comedy. Seriously!

Lets first talk about non-comms. If you had any idea about non-comms you would know that in Philly alone there are 3 non-comms pulling in over 2 million a year in underwriting alone and that does not include the radiothons. Those 3 are NPR stations and NPR costs over $50,000 a yearfor just some of their programming. C895 in Seattle pulls in over $150,000 for their radiothon and they are a non-commercial high school dance station. There are quite a few Non-comms in the country that make more than commercial stations. Religious stations are non-comms and they make a ton of money on them. So that one is now put to bed.

Now about Z889 not being a EDM, we are not, nor do I promote the station as one. We are a Top 40/dance leaning station. Do we play a lot of pop singles yes, but last time I looked at a dance chart most of the other stations are as well. Matter of fact if you look at the dance chart which is located at
http://www.fmqbproductions.com/dance/index.html , I think we are playing or have played 95% of the singles on there. So if that is the case then every station that is monitored on the chart should not be considered a dance station. If you look at our mixshow DJ's, I guess Roger Sanchez, Mike Rizzo, Judge Jules, Hed Kandi, Johnny Budz, Louie Devito, DJ Perry Christopher Lawerence and at one time David Guetta, I guess are not dance mixshow DJ's. Our station sounds like a northeast, South Jersey/Philly Top 40/dance leaning station. Thats my target audience.

Do I expect everyone to like the station I program, no and I do not lose sleep over it. What I do care about is the fact that the list of students going through our program are getting jobs in commercial radio and the students here are learning about an industry that I love. If you want to call us KTU thats fine because last time I checked most dance artists and labels want their music played on that station. So thanks for the compliment

You didn't need to list non-comm groups that hide money into bank accounts under dummy organizations.  With that practice, non-comms make money.  But non-comms don't make money.  Get it?

Thank you.  That's all I needed to hear or read from SOMEBODY on this board... A nice clear admission, "Yes!  We sold our soul!  It's all about the money, never about the music."

so petty

so petty

Took the words out of my mouth. You're right the dance radio industry is petty.

 

[nd2023]

Yes, I am sure Z88.9, C89.5, and all the non-commercial dance stations are laundering money. *sarcasm*

It's completely legal for a non-comm to make money with a pledge drive and through underwriting.

technodj, are you D.j. Penn?

No he's not because 1) no mention of "house" "vibe" or "cheat" and 2) technodj can spell. ;D

First off its not about the money, its about teaching college students about broadcasting. The money we raise goes right back into the program.

Ill tell you what, since you dont understand radio, you can come to the college and take some radio classes. You might learn something. Also I havent heard the word techno by anyone in the industry for over 10 years

It's not about money... riiiiight. I believe you! Of course, like I said, I'm not the one you have to convince of that.

I won't bother wasting my money going to college to learn radio. (HAHA! College to learn radio!) From your example, it wouldn't do a bit of good.

I'm sorry, I forgot to touch base on the last sentence.  I tried to go back to edit, but I guess there's a time limit for doing so.

Anyway, I haven't heard anyone in the industry use the word techno for the last 10 years either.  Hell I haven't heard it used for 20!  But there's a good reason for it.  It's too hard for lazy people to sell.  Instead they sell the canned crap that all sounds the same, because it's easier.  It goes much like cheap products made in china to be sold at Walmart.

 

[JohnParker]

I would definitely include di.fm as it is one of the most successful radio portals in the world. They've been webcasting for a long time.

Anyways, ask and you shall receive:

http://www.z889.org Z-88.9 SUBURBAN PHILADELPHIA-BURLINGTON (Dance Format most hours on weekdays) http://staff.bcc.edu/z889/stream/z889-Stream.pls 64 K
etc....etc....etc....

CHRles, no love for B91 anymore. Brings a tear to my eye but I take pride that we have had a huge upturn in our listenership in the last 15 months and are infact beat a lot of the stations listed in this thread.

Hope all is well!

If you want to get technical, party 732 launched in March.. Of course my listenership won't be as high as the B's , but you have been steady with live365 since 06 (correct me if I am wrong) and I had my moments, but tell you one thing, our upgrades sure make a difference than back then.

 

[JohnParker]

My station has been on since April of 2006. Grew slowly. The real growth kicked in when I joined their X5000 plan. The listing on iTunes was a huge help. I can only imagine what my listenership would be if I could directly link the station like others do. The one pratfall of not being a 100% pro station. Also the new Live365 marketing with things like Athena365 have been an amazing help to my station finding new listeners. After 5 years it's finally paying for all the associated costs.

 

[CHRles]

John, much love to you and B-91, and I'll make time to listen to it in the coming days
As for Z-88.9, why is it that I get the feeling someone has a personal vandetta against the station?
Like Brett (DanceRev) said, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is valued by many in the Dance and radio community (even if it's not Dance 24/7). You don't have to like it, but that's no reason to focus all your negative energy on this station.

Who has a personal vendetta against Z-88.9? Me? Pfffffft... no. Z-88.9 is merely a convient example that came to mind. It's nothing personal, they're no different, they suck just as bad. Negative energy toward them...? Sure! But they deserve it, especially after years of negative energy from them toward what is real, just like the rest.
