Yep! That's right! Tucson gets it, and after visiting their yesterday, I am so glad to know they can get it.
101.5 JamZ that is! Depending on where you are in Tucson, you can get 101.5 JamZ in the car, and boy was I so glad I was able to.
I had to go help my sister move in Tucson, and we arrived there very close to 12:00pm on Friday and thought "hmmm... I wonder if anybody is going to mix?" Well, 101.5 certainly did not disappoint! The 12:20 Party Mix was bangin!
Then came five o clock... I didn't have the car at that time since I was in my sister's new place assembling stuff, so I could only depend on her home radio. After a few hours of listening to my Zune player earlier, I switched to radio around 4:40pm. As I was preparing to take a nap, I thought to myself "uh oh,it's almost 5 o clock. I wonder who, if anyone, will do anything?" 101.5 JamZ was no longer an option because remember I didn't have the car at that time and did not pick it up in the apartment on the radio. Well, Hot 98.3 did mix! Only problem was my sister's radio could ONLY pick up KRQ! So, I had to connect my Zune player with radio set on Hot 98.3 to a broadcaster and place the broadcaster onto my sister's radio antenna. I see they still love to play "the anthem" by Pitbull every chance they get just like last time I went months ago.... (but I do give them credit since I'd rather hear "the anthem" than Sean Paul's "tempurature" all the time like here in Phoenix uptempo radio mixshows..) Not sure how long the mix was because I did fall asleep. Something tells me it was only 30 minutes. They should be like KKFR here in Az and do 3 hours... or at least 1 hour like KZON!
LATER ON:
9 0 clock is rapidly approaching. Once again, I'm in the car with 101.5 JamZ trying to make it to the car radio, and I'm thinking "hmmm.... well well well.... it's 9 o clock on a FRIDAY NIGHT.." Then 9 o clock hits and Hot 98.3 is NOT mixing and KRQ is OFF THE AIR!! Shortly after, KRQ comes back and they are mixing some mainstream uptempo hits for the first half hour and I'm thinking "hmmm... ok". At this time, I'm back in the apartment without the car, so I can no longer pick 101.5 JamZ to listen to since I can't pick it up in the apartment. As the night went on, I could not understand how KRQ could be broadcasting live from a club playing a bunch of slow tempo 77-90bpm styled hits! It almost seemed like whoever was mixing had an obsession with that tempo because it went on and on for a long time, and the entire 5-7 minutes of each and every song was played in those mixes! The Rihanna "rude boy" tempo does get boring if music is kept at that speed level for too long! Finally 1:30am hits and I'm in the car waiting for everyone to come on so we can leave.
FLASH FORWARD TO TONIGHT:
And I am loving KZZP and the amount of uptempo dance hits and remixes I've already heard there alone so far since I started listening at 9:30pm! (It's 11:11pm right now...) This does not even include Power 98.3 and 101.5 JamZ. Boy am I glad to live in Phoenix because Phoenix is the place to be if you love rhythmic hits and mixshows. As of right now, SIX STATIONS that I know of are currently in the mix!!
KZON
KAJM
KZZP
KVIB
KNRJ
KKFR
Modern and old school hip hop, booty bass, freestyle, pop, reggaeton, and other forms of club dance - We got it in Phoenix!
As far as 101.5, yes, Tucson gets it! However, I should rather say that overall, PHOENIX gets it! There was once a time when Tucson was doing better than us (rhythmic & top 40 radio-wise), but that pendulum has now swung drastically into the opposite direction! Even KAJM, our rhythmic oldies (old school & r&b) mixes until 3am tonight! Where else would you get that?
I love Phoenix!
PHOENIX GETS IT! Phoenix gets it ALL! ;D
