I heard Spice Girls - Wannabe on B96 at some point earlier last week or the week before. They slowly started playing these songs but the flip happened at Midnight on Friday.

WSHE is 80s-2010s with the core being 90s and 2000s. This is pretty typical for stations that refer to themselves as "90s and 2000s" They will play some 2010s and 80s in the mix.

WSHE has a problem with remakes of certain songs. They have some really weird remake of A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. It doesn't sound authentic when they play these versions. It would be an easy fix to change the song.

On weekends, they take the playlist a tad bit more wide and to an extent more uptempo. They call them "Throwback Weekends" which is what the current format came from. It was still an AC station when they started doing this.


I'm pretty sure they plan to waste the 104.3 frequency and simulcast 670. Like 670 really needs FM being by far the strongest AM signal in Chicago. They don't really care about reach though. They call KYW "Newsradio 103.9" and the 103.9 frequency only has 270 Watts, about a translator or Class A range compared to the AM's 50kw footprint. At some point, I think they just want to turn off all of their AMs and sell the land. They already sold the WBBM land a few years ago.
