96.3 new mess! where's el pacha,coco cabrera? they went to hell?

[d21ofnj]

No, I know that while that could happen in the 80's and early 90's, it can't happen today. 

And why can't it happen today?  Because of what the ravers done and how the media completely assulted their lifestyle, therefore stereotyping that all of dance is what ravers listen to?

And that is exactly what stations do... they talk to the the people whose opinion matters... the listeners!

I think we are talking about different kinds of listeners.

No, because both the mood and the tastes of people have moved on and are both more fragmented and less receptive to music forms that have little or no lyric content and are not broad appeal. remember, the "disco" years started when AM was still dominant, and formats were not split up in such small pieces, and that same basic stream flowed until the decline of freestyle in the 90's. 

I think we are talking about different kinds of listeners.

And how are there different kinds of listeners? Commercial radio is bought by the number of listeners in the advertiser's target demographic, and it has little or nothing to do with formats and music styles.

on radio ravista you said: where there is  salsa, merengue doesnt fit!  isnt that a dominican hater? you still dont have any dominican dj, locutor on 96.3! go to church!

Of course, I said no such thing. At any given time, the issue is about how many hits there are in the different genres a particular format or station might have, and how many past hits in those genres are still playable. That data is confirmed by consulting with listeners representing all the components (age, gender, origin, etc.) in a station audience.

It there is a wealth of merengues that appeal to Puertoricans, Colombians, Ecuadorians and Dominicans, then there will be many of those songs on the air. And so on for each other style and genre, from salsa to bachata to pop and other styles.

At the time that you totally misconstrued my remarks, there were few playable merengues that crossed the borders of of the different segments of the audience, and thus there was no way a station wishing to appeal to a broad sector of the New York audience could play many merengues.

As with multigenre formats of all kinds, there is no static condition in programming mix. What is the rule at one time may be the exception at another.

yes you did mr. eduardo! by the way, why did you got rid of el pacha? 0.9+ ratings on saturdays its not enought for you?

david can you please clarify the numbers for me WSKQ has a 3.2 compare to WCAA 0.9, also there is nothing under WXNY (new station la equis)...I was also wondering how Luis jimenez did under the new frequency.

[musicfan101]

David just flip WCAA (if you are in charge of that station) to an Indie rock format...we all know how much you love that music...

The data released today was the Arbitron "October" 28-day period. WCAA 96.3 was listed as a "new" station so the 0.9 was an average of the 4 weeks of the survey, during which WCAA 96.3 was on for 7. Thus, in those 7 days, it got a share of 3.6 (0.9 times 4) and a cume of about 2.1 million.
