WSM-FM Takes the Lead!

I heard a promo on 95.5 today about them being the #1 country station in December. I couldn't believe it until I saw it for myself. I'm ok with that - they sound the best!
 
And in Classical wars, Looks like Nash Pub Radio Classical station is tanking. Look at MOT this month.

No worries Billy - You and Karla win the local DJ awards.



Did "Country Christmas" hurt 98? I actually enjoyed it, but couldn't stand Mix's Christmas selection (too sappy).

Also had the wrong owners for most of the stations,too. Mix92.9 and Jack-FM are owned by South Central Communications, yet they were shown to be owned by two different companies, neither of which I had heard of. Same for stations just about every station on there. Wrong owners and owned by companies that don't have properties here.
 
We actually tied WSM-FM (25-54) in December but I wouldn't brag about country being 10th place in Nashville. It was an awful month. We still have the holiday book coming...then, things should get back to "normal." They (WSM-FM) better get as much use out of that promo as they can for the next few weeks.

I LOVE radio wars. Old school. :)

I emailed and told them to take a look at the Nashville page. What a mess.
 
I'm just not really a big fan of any of the Nashville country stations. To me, they all seem stale, bland, and too adult leaning. (I listen to WSIX on XM and check out the others online from time to time.) 'SIX just seems weird. They play too many oddball recurrents/gold and also too many unheard of newer tracks. (and the tempo is too slow). I guess I tend to prefer country stations that are programmed more like CHR's, with a tight playlist of the biggest hits played more often and fun, hyped up imaging & jingles. And none of the Nashville stations seem very young leaning or fun to me.
I tend to like stations more like Entercom's "Wolf" stations, or stations like KKBQ Houston. Also, I think Journal's WCYQ "Q93" in Knoxville is a good example of a fun, young, hit focused country station.

Anyway, even though I'm not in the market myself, it's always struck me as kinda odd that with 3 big country stations in Nashville, no one seems to do a fun, uptempo, ultra current based version of the format.

Sorry to hear you're not a fan or ours...but we obviously all have our own opinions. Just please keep in mind that you're hearing the radio via our stream (XM/iHeartRadio) and the "strange new songs" or Golds are fill songs that cover commercials we're airing at that time locally. So, our music isn't nearly as eclectic as you might think.

Okay, back to the show. lol
