In today's McMusic radio market, would B/EZ work?
Not modern music set to strings and lush orchestrations, but the older music sets of the 90s and before, mixed with appropriate "chill" music from today that isn't too electronic. Include older lounge, swing pop, sunshine pop, easy listening hits of the 60s-80s, some smooth jazz, etc. I've been listening to KLUX, Corpus Christie, online and liking the general music direction. It's fresh in today's market.
The B/EZ stations faded hard. There are only a handful in the nation, kind of like smooth jazz. However, some have strong audience such as KLUX and QZ from Texas. WKTZ went off air a few years back and a wave went up from die hard listeners. I remember the days of the B/EZ stations in the Philly area: WDVR (my fave), WJBR, WMJK etc. and when they changed suddenly to lite pop circa 1981.
Kids these days didn't grow up with the stigma that this is "dad's music" or "old timey" or "elevator dreck". Due to the construction of electronic music, the influence of lounge revival in the mid-90s, and chill-out genres, the youth seem relatively unbiased about B/EZ-type music.
It's almost 2019. What do you say?
