I like both urban AC and Old school hiphop(I thought I would be over it at 40..NOT!!!I grew up with hiphop...LOL) I appreciate 92.7/101.1 The beat here in Phoenix, but we have No urban AC since 2001.We do have an Old school urban AC(MEGA 104.3)s to hispanics, but none that play the new hits. My ideal would be 50% Neo-soul/New R&B and 50% oldschool 80's & 90's , but maybe only a few 70's hits. However, No disco from the 70's at all like the BEEGEES , Mega loves that ish..LOL

You're 40? I'm 17 going on 18 and my idea Urban AC would play 90's R&B with a some 90's hip hop tracks thrown in the balance. I apperciate KDAY though.

70's - 90's R&B Oldies /Old School 75%
Contemporary R&B 2000's 25%

That sounds like the same bland Urban AC nationwide. It's almost 2011 and old school hip-hop is still a major void on Urban and Urban AC stations.

I agree with my urban AC in Los Angeles KJLH plays everything in the urban contemporary rubric but it's still bland though. They play hip hop, r&b, soul, old school, smooth jazz and gospel need I say more because we've talked about the Programing errors at KJLH for about two months on here.

Bland? I must be the Old Dude in this thread, but it's just my humble opinion. Most Urban AC's I hear lean more late 80's, 90's and contemporary R&B. Makes since to me, Hip-Hop stations should blend in the old-school hip-hop instead of Urban AC. Otherwise I see Urban AC's going the way mainstream urbans did in the mid to late nineties evolving into hip-hop stations. But thats just my opinion. ;D

Science, I agree with you. Hip Hop is total different genre and it needs to remain on Hip-Hop stations only. Hip-Hop on Urban AC stations will only hurt that format. If Urban AC stations continue to air more hip hop music, then I wouldn't be surprise if corporate programmers will come to the conclusion that Urban and Urban AC have similar sounds and merge the two formats into one. Therefore, the result will be many markets containing only one urban station, playing a little bit of everything, setting urban radio back 25 or 30 years. I believe Urban and Urban AC need to have distinct sounds to keep them both alive.
