I usually don’t make comments but I’ve read so many bad reviews It’s crazy.. I find it all quiet entertaining and yet sad at the same time.
I will include my top 8 listener’s comments that I copied and pasted (excluding names) from their facebook page after my comments. Warning some of them you will need to decipher. (today’s youth lol)
At first I thought the station is doing some cunning stunting then I realized it’s a stunt gone bad? Or is it all really by design?
It’s painfully obvious to me that the person or persons, did not do their homework or research as to what the music programming consists of for an Urban/Urban AC format as taunted and reported to many media and trade outlets prior to it’s actual live broadcast! At least from what I’ve read!
One must look at the name as a brand that features a core of artists & music that the listeners are expecting to hear from a name that has in the past served the community for many years.
I’ve spent several hours listening to the station many times in many dayparts for many days, along with checking back for clarification and in my opinion it’s nothing more than a chr/rhythmic leaning station at best.
What’s strange is that might be their intention since they’ve spent so much time & effort blasting kiss fm.
How did I come to that conclusion you might ask?
If their intention is to be an urban station kiss fm has no real relevancy because 70% of kiss consists of different core artists or music! Of course there are crossover artists Lil Wayne, Drake, Wiz, Rihanna & others.
You would be hard pressed to fine any true urban or urban ac station in the country playing Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and others artists currently in their music rotation.
What’s Missing? The R. Kelly, Marsha Ambrosius , Charlie Wilson, Jamie Foxx, Adele, Donell Jones, Kem, & many others that are hot & heavily requested as part or an urban rotation during the midday’s or the Lloyd Banks, Ace Hood, Sean Garrett and others for the evenings if you are an urban/urban ac station?
People Want Coke stop filling the Coke bottle with Fago cuz it ain’t tasting right!
Of course all of this is just my opinion!
In all seriousness I’m willing to help them out with a starter music library, about 3 - 400 songs, a very simple format clock rotation including slow jams for the late nights all in their designated rotation categories that will meet the needs of the listeners until somebody can make the proper adjustments.
And yes I will do it free of charge if they are serious about being an Urban/Urban AC formatted station.
Just get at me!
Here is my top 8 facebook listener comments!
8 - they shouldnt have went on air without working all the kinks out first..
7 - What up wamo.. you are killing us with the pop music..some of us have been listening to wamo for 30+ years.. this is nothing like the old station
6 - if no one listens to this station because of the rhythmic direction then what would be the point of airing this format to attract advertisers
5 - What up WAMO. Everybody glad y'all back. But what up with all the POP music and speeding up the songs. Everything seems like KISS FM. Not feeling the new theme of wamo.
4 – I understand that a new station needs time to develop and grow along the way. But when the management claims they're here to serve the urban community and fill the void of no hip hop & r&b that was missing the past two years. Then sign on as a pop station hiding behind the Wamo name as a marketing ploy to gain back listeners
3 - PLEASE STOP ALL THE POP MUSIC. Review WAMO's older playlist and see what we want. I don't want to listen to kiss 2.0, if I did i'd just listen to kiss. If your gonna fill a void do it right
2 - will you stop playing f*ing brittany spears and katie perry !!!!?!?!?!?!? that aint hip hop or r&b ! wtf??? ur slogan is kiss sucks and ur playin the same g** d**n songs! i dont give a h**l if nicki minaj is featured. that b***h aint even hip hop or r&b. she is as pop as they come!
1 - Yo wat is this yall got me pissed y u keep sayin KISS sucks and u suck at least they play the music theyre supposed to play!$ then dont get me started on dese new corny dj's racks on racks if ur not gonna play da original track stop it!$! Somebody ned to fix that or no one goin be listening!$ Just want hip hop and r&b back!$!
