A cool 90s throwbacks format would be nice. Too many "same old" 80s classic hits, but not enough 90s.
Knoxville TN rimshot has a great variety on WKVL (104.9) although I was having trouble picking up their signal even around downtown Knoxville (I-640) and points east (like Halls Crossroads / Kodak) and was very weak near Sevierville. Their live stream is still under the "104.9 Lake FM" banner.
Hey, with just a little bit of effort, WROO would be a much better "something relevant," but so far this is ridiculous, who wants to hear Sports at 3:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m. especially all day long, and not just on weekends, heck perhaps keep a sports format on the weekends, and a music format on weekdays? I would buy their station for $200 if they don't care that much about it!
This is an obvious lack of effort on their part, or perhaps a lack of something like a creative mind. Who would listen to this for 12 hours a day? Putting "any" effort into it's potential would show that they care, Heck even an Earth FM "Jockless" with the old liners would be great, and that is even in demand and fresh in people's hearts around here.
They like being irrelevant apparently. Being stubborn and putting on something that very few people actually listen to, without any effort or improvement is very dumb, but thats just my opinion. I would rather hear Loud Whale Farts, or a 24/7 Burping Contest!
I remember many years ago, a brand new station (at the time) had signed on with a 24 hour loop of the song "Tubthumping" by "Chumbawumba" over and over, when it first signed on in 1998 (107.3 WPUR /Atlantic City) almost annoying on purpose after 10 minutes, but that stunt alone earned a 2.0 in the ratings!
Another example is WYRD and Audacy, which, no pun intended, (Had the Audacity!) and recently moved their talk format from 106.3 to 98.9 and then suddenly, it was like the best thing in the world since sliced bread! Realizing their "breakthrough" 😂 but it was important when it wasn't something popular and invested many years and time and $$ into... Then, Suddenly, they were boasting about fringe coverage, when they didn't ever seem to do that as a music station for their own local audience, when it should matter the most. Even worse, their new translators for Magic sound equally miserable and tired. Make it better but don't mistreat and degrade / disgrace / deteriorate somethingsomeone else cares about
But hey iHeart Greenville, They must be really proud of themselves, LOL. Is this station a burden or liability, and asset or something they'd rather not deal with? I say they have nothing to lose, take a risk and be daring yet curious, and try something new and go Full-On EDM or 90s Eurodance. Or maybe all 80's Latin Freestyle or all 70's Disco!....even if that gets even a 1.0 share...Even that is "More than 3x" Better Than it's Current Existence, and would be something unique, special and desirable; Make it irresistible! It might seem out of place and unusual, but it could be something to brag about, and not something to be embarrassed about!
(I'm sure many don't even know what EDM is around here. Imagine hearing The Prodigy or Deadmau5 all day. Now we're talking
