Will KVIL pick up where MIX left off? Re-Brand as Hot A/C??

 

[radioaircheck]

no

 

[charles123]

no

Then why are they playing Third Eye Blind, Shinedown, Night Ranger etc.

That is part of the AC format now. the fromat is changing with the times. Sadly, Soft AC does notwork in Dallas anymore.

I heard Shannon - Let the Msic Play followed by Bon Jovi... Didn't seem like Lite Rock to me.

Then they played Usher- DJ Got Us Fallin In Love. That don't sound like Lite Rock to me neither.

AC is changing, Hot AC is now like Adult Top 40 and AC is now like Hot AC

WLTW in NY used to be one of the most aggressive, upbeat, and young-leaning AC in the nation. WLTW is nothing compared to KVIL now. Our local AC here in the DFW market is the most aggressive AC in the nation now, WLTW isn't anymore.

Lol, KVIL has made WLTW too easy listening.

"Lite Rock" stations aren't what they used to be these days. My guess is they're trying to attract a younger and hipper audience. It would be one thing to pick these songs up for AC:

- "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye
- "We Are Young" by Fun
- Anything from Adele (Though I never thought "Rolling in the Deep" would make it to AC due to this lyric "Go ahead, sell me out, and I'll lay your sh** bare".)
- "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day
- "Secrets" by OneRepublic
- "Sober" by Pink

I NEVER thought these songs would be picked up by AC stations due to their lyrical content, no matter how edited they are.

- "DJ Got Us Falling In Love" by Usher
- "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" by Katy Perry
- "Raise Your Glass" by Pink
- "Forget You" (Originally titled "F*** You") by Cee-Lo Green (To this day, I'm still shocked on how 103.7 Lite FM was able to obtain it)
- "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake
- "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz
- "Hellagood" by No Doubt
- "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day

It's "I'll lay your SHIP bare."

And you forgot to mention P!nk's "Perfect" which also has an interesting original version.

 

[texasstooge]

Yeah, forgot to mention that. Plus there are dozens others I forgot to list as well. Of course, if they air Enrique Iglesias' "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)", I'm gonna die (not literally though).

I grew up listening to 103.7 KVIL while traveling around town with my mom during my childhood, and never did I imagine them shedding its soft side until recently. Sure my music taste can change & expand (I do like listening to rap, rock, jazz, reggae, classics, etc.), but...oh boy.
