WHUD's Love Songs program is a joke and a mess--- I'm done!

[LIradiofan226]

I have given WHUD ample opportunities to get their acts straight and do their love show properly but they continually mess up and continually pollute the program with party and disco songs on what is billed as a romantic love songs program. Tonight I tuned in as usual at 7 expecting to hear romantic love songs from Catherine Michaels as per what the show promises but instead as usual they have foisted party tunes on what is supposed to be a romantic program. I am done with the program and I am done with the station. Lite FM and Star 99.9 have programs that consistently fulfill their promise of romantic music. I have no objection to party and disco tunes at all, but I do object when a station broadcasts a romantic dedications show and the music director does not adhere to the format. It would be like programming a party show and the host plays songs like Toni Braxton's " Unbreak My Heart" or Elton John's " Candle in the Wind." Great songs but you certainly won't be hearing them on Studio 108 or the Party Marty Show. Likewise, you should not be hearing Whitney Houston's " I'm Every Woman" and Earth Wind and Fire's " Lets Groove" on Night Rythms. I mean I understand if program director Steve Petrone and music director Tom Furci have an aversion to sappy love songs. Fine, nobody says you have to partake in that genre, but don't bill yourself as airing a romantic love songs program when you most definitely are not.

I'm stunned! You can't go wrong with The Carpenters, Chicago, Queen - that's the kind of programming we need here! If I buy an Fm, that's what I'll do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard that program on occassion by default and can say I've never heard it referred to
as a "romantic love songs show," like the other examples you give. Maybe you have it wrong in your expectations.
They say it's a "request and dedication show," which covers a lot of territory. Like maybe I want to dedicate a song
to my son or mother. You seem to know about the station but not the show so what's
your beef?
