Has Party added more dance?

[JayD]

I havent been in NYC for the past 2 1/2 weeks. Any tweaks to their playlist?

[stationless listener]

I haven't listened consistently to Party FM but I have left the station on for most of many days. From my own listening, Party has played some more dance but the dance songs they've played have been pretty repetitive, particularly Inna's "Hot", the new BEP song, Ke$ha's "Tik Tok", Akon's "Sexy Chick". I'm glad that they haven't put Pitbull into heavy rotation, although that may be due to his songs being played out. Who knows, really?

What I don't want is for them to become a carbon copy of Pulse. Still, Party FM should be a lot bolder in breaking in dance songs. They're playing it too safe. I need to be surprised from time to time. I'll decide if I like the "surprise" or not.

Note to self: They're still a Long Island. They're still a Long Island station. They're still...

Yep theyve added much more dance (NOT at Pulse's level), but they aren't the original "Party FM" thats for sure

* However,    Playlist is kinda tight, you'll hear the same new dance songs a bit too often for comfort, seriously, Tight....Rotation!!! Not good, but not the worst, just be prepared to learn lyrics really quicky within a few days.

*** The Traffic Jam at 5pm is a MUST for ex Pulse listeners, or anyone, DJ Serge (spelling?) Even if I didn't like dance, I couldn't deny his talent, WOW. Above what is even necessary for Market #1, a rare gem on radio.

** The Midnight Mix is also great, and they are also with great talent, no kidding.

But anyways, yep, the "tweak" has already begun. I now find it worth going through some hassle sometimes to get the frequency 87.7 / 87.75 on my radios, sometimes. But I also flip. Atleast they are not irrelevent to me like before. I think they are doing pretty good so far, and hope to see it evolve into a very good station in the near future.

(The block mix programming thing might work), rewarding old Pulse listeners with certain times and mix shows to tune in, and also allowing "traditional / original" Party listeners other hours to hear "their" mix. This works only when the times are consistent and easy to remember, NOT jumbled all over the place like 'BAI

Outside of the mixshow the ratio of Rap/Dance/Pop songs has remained the same.  They do however play a few more remixes of those Pop and Hip Hop songs.

Listened tp Party yesterday, I noticed they had the MTV Hip-Hop Countdown on in the morning, and throughout the day, it was more on the hip-hop side than dance, more hip-hop heavy when Eutopia was on the air.  The only time it was more dance was at night when Eddie Tegone was on.  Their ads they run on 87.7 is running longer than the ads on 105.3 and would sometimes finish in the middle of a song.  Smart idea to air ads for NYC on 87.7 only and ads for nassau/suffolk on 105.3, but they need to at least time the airtime for the ads right on 87.7.
