Is it me, or is PLJ is starting to sound a lot more Top 40 lately? Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, new Sade, The Script, Kings of Leon, Adam Lambert, Black Eye Peas, plus a lot of other songs that Z plays as well, or doesn't play, but still are new or current ones. Could this be a sign of further changes on this station to come down the line...? Might I also add that all of the above artists mentioned were just played one after the other with NO old songs in between...I haven't heard them sound like this since the days of Power 95 way back when.... thoughts?
 
Power 95! I remember back then when they used to always play music much faster than normal to try to outdo Z100. I noticed back then and I was only 7 years old in 1983..lol
 
1983, the days when Z-100 used to poke fun at "the Wimp," a.k.a. WPLJ, and "Larry Booger," a.k.a. Larry Berger, the PD at the time.

Heaven forbid there be any playfulness like that these days, because I don't think Elvis Duran's listeners in Miami would get it, let alone care. Ho hum.

The psychograhics of the adult listener has changed. They want uptempo in-your-face radio, like they grew up with. The notion of the soccer mom is long outdated. Lite FM beefed up its tempo and image and saw HUGE increases under Jim Ryan. Soft AC is dead, and THANK GOD.

InSearchOfGear,

It sounds like the standards of what we know as the Adult Contemporary format has change. I was confused with what was MOR. I thought that MOR was anything that was played on WNEW-AM in the 1970s. I thought that AC & MOR were interchangeable.

Today's AC is more rockful and uptempo. And five years from now Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five (I hope not) may be classified AC.




Thanks,
Kevin L. Sealy
