I've been enjoying Alt 98.7
I've been enjoying Alt 98.7
Which leads me to one conclusion, they will be changing format soon. Anytime there is a station that I very much enjoy, it changes formats to something I despise(usually). 98.7 isn't perfect but it sounds much better then the last couple years of 89x and much better then it did last year. My own view is, they ought to consider to shifting to more a gold based Alternative format or making 80% of the playlist 90s and early 2000s. I've even set a preset button to 98.7, which is the first time 98.7 has been there since V98.7.

Agree. They still have to play the odd current, some shitty rap flavored song or MGK. But it seems every time I tune in, I at least KNOW the song. They do sound much better. But that afternoon show has GOT to go.

KROQ is absolutely kicking ass this weekend!

They have become a far superior station to our lame Alt 98.7.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7
For the first time ever I listened to two songs in a row before tuning out, I guess that's an improvement. 2 songs I didn't hate, then Imagine Dragons for the tune out. (I'm sure they test well though)

But for real, it is becoming a great station. But yeah, Lazlo needs to stay in New York or wherever he is. He thinks he belongs in Detroit because his grandma died at an Old Country buffet in Westland.

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7
I'd be surprised if Elliot Segal's syndicated morning show, based at DC101, doesn't appear at Fault 98.7 within the next 90 days.
He was just added in New York, and shortly prior to that, Kansas City.

Unless they started here, syndicated shows on FM music stations usually blow.

Caught his show while I was in DC last week. This show won’t be the exception to your rule. He’s better than Woody (low bar, I know), but the one syndicated talker they have is already bringing the station down (assuming that the rest of the market agrees with this board on Lazblow).MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 11:22 pmUnless they started here, syndicated shows on FM music stations usually blow.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7
The ding-a-lings at Audacy think twofers qualify as a "block party weekend."
Artist blocks usually mean 3+ songs from the same artist in a row. Not twofers exclusively.
Anyway, I do want to actually pay Alt 98.7 a compliment. They are playing some quality deeper cuts I've never heard the station play before as part of this weekend's programming. A nice surprise, I must say. Not just a deeper cut on occasion, either! I'm hearing several such songs an hour.

I agree. Fire Brady and Church of Lazlo people,
and it would be even better.

The playlist of 105.9 The X in Pittsburgh has been amazing today. Listen live via their website or the iHeartRadio app.
