I was talking to a friend an hour ago. Everyone laments 70s were ignored by radio. The 80s played the same 100 titles. The 90s if not hop hop or Alt or Lilith, doesn't exist. The sad part is, those "80s station failures" might not have been failures if they actually had Friday night "AOR" spin back, Saturday night "dance parties" (hot mixes) like the 80s. Or a Sunday day "New Wave" flashback. "Quiet 80s Storm", not Urban based, but actually 80 - 89 AC titles from Pop, Rock, Urban, Freestyle, Dance, Country, that receive little to no airplay. -- The weekend programming set the tone for the week. All 7 days are the same ol shit, day in, day out, VT, safe tested, shit.
I just returned from Milwaukee and the surrounding counties. Their radio is one notch better than Chicago simply because they better utilize translators and WJMR had a Chicago personality doing flashback House hot mixes, but overall massively lacking than it was pre-covid. Shit. I am sorry, no other word wraps it up.
