Well if more folks like you listened to the station, it wouldn't have changed formats.

This station has changed formats every two to three years since 1999.

Please explain the irony?

I have years of talking about radio stations on the message board? Why would it be any different just because the station was a Cons talker?

Rap should be used by the military to force enemy combatants to spill the beans.

Rap is fine by me. But I went to a lot of lengthy contemporary electronic music concerts in San Francisco...haha....quite a bit of noodling and experimental stuff.

For his thesis, one guy hang-glided out over the Pacific while hooked up to this sound device he invented. Air generated aleatory music...lol.

It was ahhight.

After years of Triple Six Mafia hatred, Hypontize Cash Money was the first song where I gave them a little respect. When I heard the song on the radio in Detroit, I realized they had made it.

It's odd how much energy folks like y'all seem to invest in hating rap. You could insert any type of music in there, really. Everybody has their preferences. If you don't like something, then don't listen to it.

I'm not exactly sure what that even means. I don't listen to it. Therefore, I don't invest any energy into it at all. Of course everyone has their preferences. I stated mine. I invest no energy whatsoever in hating anything.

OMG, your comment likening rap music to torture says you are investing energy into hating rap.

Here's a graphic i found online of the changes over the years.
[Image: timeline-01-01-1-1024x289.png]

So like the OP, now i hate the change to 98.9.


Cumulus’s Vibe Begins Christmas Stunt In Memphis

Quote:Branding as “Christmas 98.9“, the stunt began at 12pm with Elvis’ “Blue Christmas”. The former Classic Hip-Hop format had ended a streak of under-performing formats since the station moved into the Memphis market in 2001 as it went through runs with Smooth Jazz, Urban, Hot AC, 90s Hits, and Conservative Talk until its flip to Classic Hip-Hop in February 2015. In the September Nielsen Audio ratings the station placed tenth in the market with a 3.1 share.

Guess they didn't reach the audience they hoped to reach. But the rating looks decent for a station that has only been around for two and a half years.

Station Jul 17 Aug 17 Sep 17 Oct 17 Format Owner
KJMS-FM 10.2 9.2 10.0 10.4 Urban AC iHeartMedia
WRBO-FM 9.4 9.3 10.0 10.2 Urban AC Cumulus Media
WHRK-FM 8.3 7.6 8.0 8.2 Urban iHeartMedia
WRVR-FM 6.9 7.5 7.4 7.2 AC Entercom
WMC-FM 6.2 5.7 5.8 5.5 Hot AC Entercom
WGKX-FM 5.5 6.3 5.5 5.4 Country Cumulus Media
WHAL-FM 6.0 6.3 4.6 5.3 Gospel iHeartMedia
WXMX-FM 3.8 4.5 4.4 4.6 AOR Cumulus Media
WDIA-AM 3.5 3.8 4.2 3.9 Urban AC iHeartMedia
WREC-AM 2.7 2.7 2.9 3.1 News/Talk iHeartMedia
WEGR-FM 2.3 3.0 2.3 3.0 Classic Rock iHeartMedia
WMFS-FM 2.0 2.2 2.6 2.9 Sports Entercom
WKIM-FM 3.6 3.1 3.1 2.6 Classic Hip-Hop Cumulus Media
WLFP-FM 3.4 3.5 2.8 2.1 Country Entercom
KWNW-FM 0.9 1.0 1.2 1.0 CHR iHeartMedia
WKNO-FM 0.9 1.1 1.3 1.0 News/Talk Mid-South Public Communications
WQOX-FM 0.9 0.9 0.7 0.8 Urban AC Shelby County Schools
WMC-AM 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.3 Sports Entercom

Looks like their ratings were as good or better than Rock 103.
