Lance @ RadioInsight reports this (see below). My thoughts: Todd is producing an expected boring and super safe Classic Hits approach with WLS-FM. The 90s titles adding on accent this. Jams has existed and seems to have burned out in Chicago.

* - Why does radio, especially Chicago, LA, NYC, Miami, etc ignore all the Dance product in the 90s? (Please, I do not want to hear it does not test well, it tested well enough for B96 to be a #1 - #3 station most of the 90s in Chicago)

* - Is this the future of Classic Hits on radio? CHR became Hip/Hop & Urban heavy in the 90s.

* - What if Jams folds and B96 becomes a hybrid CHR/Throwbacks station? - Does this affect WLS-FM?

* - What if B96 folds (or it does not) and Jams becomes a hybrid Classic Hits/Throwback station adding on more popular non Hip Hop Pop 90s hits? - Does this affect WLS-FM?

Audacy Classic Hits “Big 98.1” WOGL Philadelphia continues to push further towards Rhythmic Throwbacks.

WOGL’s “Memorial Day Throwback Weekend” throws out all of the station’s usual 1980s and 90s based Classic Hits for a mostly 1990s/2000s based Rhythmic Throwback playlist. As Sean Ross noted recently, WOGL has added several dozen 90s/2000s Hip-Hop titles more associated with the Throwback or CHR formats, including J-Kwon’s 2004 “Tipsy.”
