Naw, this seems to be more mainstream AC-Urban, all time hits (e.g., including Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire, etc.), rather than hip-hop/gangsta rap like 94.5 and 96.9.

WKAF 97.7 to Urban AC
- Thread starter raccoonradio
- Start date
Not the pillow itself, but the marketing -- specifically the "special" two-for-one offer that was determined to have no expiration date, making $89.95 for two pillows the regular price, not a special offer. Whether that's too much to pay for any two pillows is up to the consumer to decide. An awful lot of people seem to like the product.
Rapking is doing cartwheels right now. LoL
Racist much?
Since when is a Class A FM considered a "full signal".
Hyperbole much, Entercom?
It's an AC station. Leave the bigotry at the door, please.
The market is over 18% African American and Hispanic, and those two groups are significantly under-served.
David is 100% right. Overdue in Boston.
Got to agree. They really did nail it. I hope they keep a deep playlist. I've been listening since they began.
If they keep it very mass appeal hits oriented, then they will get enough Caucasian listeners to make it work. I just don't think there are enough African Americans in Boston to make this a go just for them, they will need to expand out a little and I'd say there are enough mass appeal r-n-b hits to do it, the key will be tempo, it will have to be more upbeat and less slow song driven than most Urban Acs usually are. I wouldn't be afraid to play some mass appeal classic hip hop that is obviously of the party theme variety(it takes two). I wonder if the small small amount this will take away from 94.5 will be enough to make a change there? 96.9 seems to have really found their niche and a slight shaving from the new 97.7 shouldn't enough to really affect them.
One liner says they're the station for those who like Prince, Usher, and Whitney Houston. The intro when they went on said they'll also have hottest of today's hits.
True, some Michael (PYT) and EW&F (That's the Way of the World) to be heard.As for MyPillow, the two for one come on has been criticized, some say it doesn't really solve medical problems but it may for some...and some say it has a chemical smell.
10,000 songs in a row, maybe DJs later
Perhaps they expected Beasley to beat them to the punch when they wrote that?
With urban AC off the list, and adult hits a serious clash with WROR, it would seem like today's events pretty much force Beasley to go Spanish tropical on 106.1.
