That would be great if Power 106 streams. I never had a chance to ever hear Hot 97, but I can get Power 106 if I go to L.A. I would stream just to hear all the action and mixes they have going on on Power.

POWER 106 IN LOS ANGELES IS NOT GOING TO STREAM UNTIL THE ECONOMY IMPROVENS THEN THEY CAN PUT THAT ON THERE BUDGET.

Bullsh..Don't streaming has nothing to do with economic issues or something.
 
THEY'LL STREAM ONCE THEY START TO PLAY "HIP-HOP". THEY NEED TO CHANGE THEIR POSITIONING STATEMENT TO "WHERE TECHNO/HOUSE LIVES". THE BEST TIME FOR POWER IS ONE WEDNESDAY NIGHTS @ 12MIDNIGHT GOING INTO THURSDAY. IF POWER DID MORE OF THAT, THEN MAYBE THEY SHOULD STREAM.
 
Well, as long KIIS-FM and KAMP are around, what you'll hear at KPWR is what you'll get.

On the other hand I'll be glad when they do start streaming.
 
There's hardly any "techno" on Power 106...or pretty much any station in the U.S. at the moment. However, I do agree that some house is played on occasion.

But they really are more of a "Hits & Hip Hop" rather than "where hip hop lives", and the same with "Atlanta's new #1 for hip hop" - 95.5 The Beat! They are both rhythmic stations that stick to a true rhythmic format. Hot 97 in New York also switched back to rhythmic, but they have a very strong urban lean and stay off of many rhythmic hits, so they make sense using a "hip hop" slogan.

For the past few years, many rhythmics have been using hip hop slogans. However, I think Power chooses to continue using it mostly because they have heritage and pretty much no real urban competition. They have always stayed mostly true to the rhythmic sound though.

Anyway, I do love Power 106 as is, and my visiting L.A. is what got me (back) into Power 98.3 here in Phoenix. I can't say which one I like more because they both have their benefits, but certain things that Power 106 where Hip Hop lives has to offer, Power 98.3 Arizona's #1 hit music station" doesn't, and vice versa. They are both really hits & hip hop. L.A. has no "real" hip hop station, and Arizona's hit music channel is really 104.7 Kiss FM because they truly play all the hits... or most of them.. even the ones that are not urbanized... But I guess anyone could be hit music because after all, even opera, jazz, and country are playing HITS. On the other hand, this doesn't all work with "hip hop" though...

Changing Power 106 to where techno / house lives would be 90 times more absurd than just keeping the hip hop slogan, since they lean much more towards the urban side of hip hop, r&b, and electro-pop hits and very very, very very very rarely ever play any real pure dance hits. Well... many may disagree within the dance community, but certain Black Eyed Peas songs I do consider to be "real" dance... Anyway, no usage of "techno" slogan for Power 106. It wouldn't even have made sense for them to do that in 1996-1999. "Today's Hottest Music", "Hits & Hip Hop", "L.A.s Party Station", all very appropriate for their current state, but they are definitely not a hip hop station, regardless of whether or not they play certain Jay-Z, Maino...etc. songs other rhythmics might not play. Z90.3 and Blazin 98.9 is more urban than Power, even with all the rhythmic stuff they also play.
 
They've always done that. They've kept a very tight playlist for years now... or at least every time I heard them they have.

I remember when Planet Soul, Stevie B, and Lina Santiago were in heavy rotation.
I remember when I first heard "Purple Pills" by D12 through them...
I also remember over this past summer when I visited.

Songs always repeat a lot, and very much so when compared to 100.3 (or 92.3) The Beat. I think it's due to the type of format they have. Most people who are used to how urban's operate, they'll be a bit confused when introduced to Power 106, since they do give off the indication that they are urban in many ways.
 
KPWR Playlist is actually looking like it's starting to lean CHR. Very close to KIIS a CHR that leans rhythmic.
 
power 106 will stream soon right now they are webstreaming 98.7 kiss fm in new york city. maybe this year or next year emmis will start webstreaming testing power 106 since they are suppose to stream all there stations online its just a matter of time also i called streamtheworld technology they said when emmis call them to stream power 106 in los angeles they will put it online just because they are sign up with streamtheworld they dont have to stream thats what the operator told me.
 
too funny..they havnt played true techno on rotation since the frank lozano days in the early 90s!allthough,Powertools is still running strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!
