The Rocks rise is real, SIX hasn't trashed out like upper mgmt. thought, Jack's almost six years old and still at the top of it's 25-54 game. Mix #1 for the 6,000th book/PPM even with "Escape" not in play right now (scary, huh?). My guess is WWTN's drop to 188k (or whatever) is the result of his ego and firing of Matt....hehe.
 
Well, I guess I'll break the bubble.

25-54 all

uno) WNRQ
dos) WJXA
tres) WCJK

Who would have thinked...
 
It is kind of sad that so many 25-54 year olds in Nashville want to hear the same 300 burned out songs that KDF was playing in 1978.

Best stated post of 2011. Truth. I'd expect Rupert next. Classic Rock is relative these days. So much for a progressive, cutting edge market.

No, no, no, no. It's FAR more sad that very little music is being made today of the same quality as what KDF was playing in 1978. You know, stuff that is so good that people will still want to hear it 33 years later...

I'm far older than the preferred demo so my listening preferences don't count, but I am curious what of today's music you believe will be a "standard" in years to come?
 
I know I'm so far out of what they're looking for I may be just killing time by writing. I was in Louisville with my son over the weekend. He's 34...and was listening to a country station that only played old country....a lot from the 80s and 90s. When I was @ wsm...he never listenedgotta be driving programmers nuts.
 
wow..never thought "OLD COUNTRY" would be considered 80's and 90's....but I have a theory 'bout that Bud...80's and 90's country sounds a lot better than the alleged country forced on a gullible audience today..what would 50's through 70's country be called ?? :eek:
 
You guys are making ME feel old. Mainly because, I agree the crap since the 90's just doesn't do it for me. Maybe the 300 classic rock/hits songs need to be upped to 333.

"Rupert" Sargent celebrates lucky 30 years on the air in Nashville, Wed. Hmmm! He was 62 years old in 1981? Go figure.


False advertsing? Hmm http://www.mix929.com/programs/bryan-sargent

Early 90's new wave music is only a few years away from becoming "oldies". Heh heh.

New Wave was the 80's. Probably more 1980 - 1988 By the 90's it was already "Alternative"

Nock
 
Why is the Party HD-2 the only HD-# listed? What is the format?

Because their HD-2 is "The light," which re-broadcasts on 102.1 Nashville, 101.9 Clarksville. I've actually never had my HD radio anywhere that I could receive WPRT in HD. I'd settle for stereo.
 
If you think about it, the 80s - 90s was a high water mark for country artistically and sales-wise. The format still had lots of variety in it - from Mary Chapin Carpenter to Dwight Yoakam - And big sellers like Garth, Shania and the Chicks were attracting listeners and buyers into the format over the 90s in particular
. Betcha that when the teens of that era look back for their "standards," many of them will be country.

You have to expect JXA's numbers to soften a bit from time to time - they share so much of their music with the 3 country FMs that occasionally the Arbitron sample won't fall right for them. Listen for a couple of hours and find a truly compelling record by a non-country artist.

And the WSIX numbers may well be OK because the folks who went looking after Gerry House's retirement found their other country options sucked even worse. Not really a great time for Country radio in Nashville, overall.

You are so right my friend and the ratings that The Rock got this last book proves that.
