The name of the format says itself is VARIETY HITS. I remember when WMGK was all 70's hits, they would play a disco song and a classic rock song. I saw nothing wrong with it. Why are they pigeonholing themselves with ONLY rock. I mean rock the way we all think rock, and they don't play ANY older urban...A George Benson song is great and maybe a Groove is in the Heart, but they were still considered POP/ROCK. Where is the other VARIETY???
Also, I had read elsewhere that no one caters to the 90's crowd and I have to agree with that. You know I have XM and I listen to 90's on 9 all the time and it is a greta presentation. There is so much variety in there it isnt even funny. Of course you'll hear repeats of songs, but I'll tell ya, that station was a HUGE selling point to me (I got it Christams 2003, so I was 25 at the time). I would like to see a format in FM that focuses on 90's MUSIC(with maybe some 1989 and 2000 songs thrown in there too). And not the same tired old
songs we always hear from the 90's, but I mean something to give the "WOW" factor. Someone said on the NYC board that they heard JACK play Roxette "Joyride" and had a "WOW" moment. I hear that plenty on 90's on 9.
Any comments?
