Wild 93.9 is a Great Sounding CHR!!!

I've been streaming at work for a few days and I love the sound! Not too urban, not too alternative. Hard to believe that a Lima station sounds better than the CHR's in most of CC's larger markets!mms://a699.l2379656564.c23796.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/699/23796/v0001/reflector:56564

To me, they lean more rhythmic/hip-hop than straight CHR. They're closer to WCKX than WNCI, in my opinion. I listen to them off air here in Columbus (yes, geek with a nice antenna). Whenever I flip by them they are more urban than anything else, especially during "The 419 Club Wild" which I am listening to right now. This surprises me since they broadcast to a lot of cornfields and cattle in northwestern Ohio.Trick_Magnet

WNCI tends to play too much alternative, so the station doesn't really have much of a beat. WCKX is urban. Wild 93.9 has enough uptempo dance type music to give the station a beat (and make it appealing to my ears) while at the same time toning down the urban stuff enough so it doesn't grate on my ears. In terms of tempo, Wild 93.9 is more like the old 92-X or Dayton's Z-93 (back in the days when it was owned by Great Trails). Of course, times are different and rock-pop music along the lines of Bon Jovi and Pat Benatar is practically non-existent these days, so the analogy to 92-X doesn't hold completely true ...All I know is this ... I can't listen to WNCI for any length of time except when I stumble across the occasional non-urban uptempo song they might play. I can't listen to Power 107.5 either. There have to be enough people like me in the Columbus area that a mostly mainstream dance-ish type CHR would appeal to. One of these underrated 3,000 watt signal stations would be perfect for this.

Shouldn't be any suprise that there's an Rhythmic CHR in Lima...it has a large African American population.

Still, Wild 93.9 isn't programmed in the same vein as Power 107.5 It's mainstream enough that a white person can listen to. The current crop of black artists are mostly annoying to my ears ... but that doesn't mean I want to listen to whiny alternative music, either.

You are preaching to the choir my friend. Many of us have been feeling your pain about WNCI for years.
 
I ususally try to listen going up to detroit while im on rte 23 and rte 15, they sounds pretty decent to me, i like the mix they have, it would be nice if that was done here but ive been saying that the 4 yrs i lived here.
 
Just wondering what you think of their weekend shows and jocks?
I like the commercial free club wild and saturday night's main event.
Jocks sound awesome in my opinion, but ya know that's me talkin'.
