Does your local Variety Hits station play recent/current music?

carolinaradio said:
I was just wondering, since it's rare to find any two "variety" stations that sound exactly alike - does your local Variety Hits station play much music past the 2000s, or any current music? I guess it varies by the needs of the market, but the one in my market (97.7 Chuck FM) focuses on 70s and 80s classic hits, and plays maybe 1 post-00 song every 4-6 hours or so, no currents. Stands to reason, since we have 2 AC-based stations and no classic hits. 101.7 Chuck FM in down in Charleston has a similar approach, I believe (different owners, but both stations sound extremely similar). Most of the post-2000 songs played are tracks that were popular on AC stations.

98.7 Simon in Greensboro/Winston-Salem, NC plays some current hits, but puts them on the back burner to mostly 70s/80s classics, like Chuck FM in Greenville/Charleston.

We do.

Our "AC Variety" station plays mainly hits of the 80s to now but we do dip into the 70s and 60s on some occasion.. we don't play anything real hip hoppy like but we play some fairly current country and pop... along with new and old rock n roll, and everything in between

I listened to KLMI a few times last year and I was impressed with their wide range of music. You'd hear Toni Braxton, Gin Blossoms and Chris Young country all in about 10 minutes. Very nice station.

And we're still doin it.. new music gets added and scheduled on a weekly basis. We're labeled variety in terms of format, but have a heavy tinge of the AC sound to ourselves overall.
