Rhythm 'N Gold

[OldAkronite]

Figured I'd post this here, because it's kind of a "sister" format to JACK FM, and it's streaming from jack.fm while Mr. Perry and company air out the JACK music server...(you can also catch it at rhythmandgold.com even after JACK gets back to his regular server location)

Good stuff. Now, I'm biased, because I happen to know Amos and Anita and think they're talented, but it's a format with pretty good "mass appeal" crossover.

Throw this on an underperforming FM or even AM, put some live personalities on it with some real *personality*...and...it'll work, at least in many markets. One big thing for me is that it's, at the root, a very "upbeat" format.

For the record, I'm an early-40-ish white male, and it works for me. If it landed on a radio station locally, it'd definitely get a button. I know they've been working on this for a while, and just from brief listening, it sounds like they've broadened out a lot, and tweaked what was missing from "Jammin' Oldies" the first time around.

What's really sad is that they're working on this, as if it needs to be worked on? It's a no-brainer, what is there to NOT KNOW? A bunch of white guys just figuring out that all the other guys who thought they were a bunch of weirdos listened to ZOIKS! NEGRO MUSIC?

As is classic hip hop for white guys in their upper 20s to lower 40s - in the right markets for hip hop though.

You never cease to amaze me. I'm sending the last sentance of your first paragraph off to the government cryptology lab to figure out what you're trying to say!

You want to try explaining it?

I'm rooting for this to come to Boston myself.
