WGNI night tracks

B

BS1012

Last summer, WGNI had a program between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM Monday to Saturday called Night tracks. It followed the 80s at 8 and the 90s at 9.

Basically, it was just certain songs from the regular playlist that weren't always played often. Nothing "major" but it did sound younger, fresher, and there were definitely some really good tunes. They used liners such as "digging deeper into the playlist" and "night tracks -- songs 'we don't have time for during the day" and stuff like that.

Is it still on? WGNI's logs at yes.com don't really indicate it's still there. Perhaps it was really short-lived. Perhaps it was a seasonal, late-night summer thing. It sounded good, though.

Also, there were no jocks at all, not during night tracks or the evenings in general. I figured they put on the 80s at 8, 90s at 9, and night tracks as special automated content to fill spots that would otherwise be completely automated.

How do they sound in general? I always thought GNI was Wilmington's most popular / recognized station, but I've heard that radio has changed a lot in Wilmington recently.
 
By the way dose anyone have any old GNI air checks?
 
WGNI's "Night Tracks" is still on the air from 10:00 P.M. until 12 Midnight, i do
admit their playlist is getting old, and needs refreshing, which is the case with
"The 70's at 7", "The 80's at 8", and "The 90's at 9", but when you have a
"corporate" company controlling what songs are to be played, don't expect
anything to change for now.
By the way, you can listern to WGNI 24 hours a day at, www.wgni.com

This is exactly why radio is going down the toilet and will probably never return to it's former "glory". I keep hoping though..

I can get GNI in the car, but I'm not usually in there between 10 and midnight.

Did WGNI's owner cumulus broadcasting did somework to WGNI's tower a while back or something earler this year? GNI dose have a pretty good signal on 40 North, When Im on 40 north at least 82 miles from wilmington on 40 north at exit 355 when I start lossing the signal.
