Indie Release [Level 4]
My local disco station (the only one in town) just changed formats. Now its mostly rock, but its basically a variety station. this sucks! As if we needed another variety/rock station! THANK GOD I have a thousand disco records.the radio now totally sucks here. The station sucked in the first place because they had such a small library. they were around for 7 years and played the same commons every day for 7 years straight, no joke! But the reason I liked it was because on Saturday nights they played some great disco mixes that they apparently recived via satalite from another (way better) station. Anyway, I know this doesnt apply to most of you as you dont live around here, but I had to vent somwhow. Im sure you hate it when a disco station turns to rock or whatever. This same thing happedn here about 10 years ago with another disco station that was even better. They played all sorts of great stuff....
No Longer Charting

You never said where you lived; Miami? I know 93.1 closed a couple of years ago, and then another station came on the scene. So let inquiring minds know what's going on, what city you live in, etc. Was this a 70's disco station or dance/techno?

NYC is now a radio wasteland. Every station now follows the "150 Songs 24/7/365" rule across-the-board. As for stations that play disco, the new-for the past 11 years WKTU (103.5) is no longer playing mixes on Saturday nights and their specialty programming is no more. All I can say is, as long as you have your CDs and mp3's that's all that matters.

WRKS 98.7 Kiss FM and WBLS 107.5 in NYC are also part of that wasteland. There's literally 2 songs played every hour between 6am-10am and from 2pm-7pm. :icon_rolleyes: Michael Baisden who hosts Love, Lust and Lies should stick to AM talk.:icon_twisted: However his boring talk show is in every major urban market with the exception of Houston.
Why can't radio be for listening to good music??????????
The only station I can actually stand to listen to for a half hour driving to work is CD 101.9 and they play mostly smooth jazz with some vocals thrown in.
The problem is that Clear Channel has bought the Plantation and now they control major markets in most cities.:icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:
