Delilah gone from My 102.5

[CrazeeCarroll1]

Listening to MY over the iheart radio stream they sound like they have their music pitched up also... Never knew they had done that... So far this morning they sound pretty good, but I will keep listening to see how they sound... CC

The Mediabase list includes songs that the Premium Choice playlist that they run late nights plays, which is the Fun, Gotye, Outasight, etc. type stuff that they don't play during the day.

This isn't always extremely accurate, but http://www.yes.com/#WMYI is a good site with a music log (everything on there is an hour behind, though, lol).

Ok. Well, still glad to see the new daytime adds, but it would have been nice to see some slightly more "cutting edge" groups like Fun. and Gotye get some daytime airplay. Even though the singles by both groups have been pretty big CHR hits, guess MY may still consider them too risky for whatever reason.

They still do need to figure out the 80s/90s/2000s stuff, in addition to the new adds. Still don't like the fact that they played Michael Jackson this morning but yet played Panic! At The Disco. We'll see. At least today's new adds gives some hope that they'll get their act together.

They've also added "Paradise" by Coldplay.
I remember back when they started they played stuff like Florence & The Machine (that was back when they played a lot of 70s), so maybe back then they would've played something like Fun. or Goyte (not sure if they've "been around" long enough, though)

I still think I'm hearing less 80s and even less 90s. 

Carroll: they've been pitching since the summer...processing has quite a bit of punch, as well.

[CrazeeCarroll1]

Other then the traditional pass through visiting SC I would not get to listen very long, but I remember back in the late 80's and 90's My was one of the best sounding processed stations there was... Not sure about now though... I am sure if they are or were or depends on the day you listen pitched up their music to make WSPA sound slow and sleepy... JMO... CC

They're playing Fun. - We Are Young as I type this!

WMYI always had pretty mellow processing as mainstream AC, but the day they switched, they immediately punched it up.  I like it.  WSPA has always been poorly processed, IMO, along with the other Entercom stations - I've always thought WSPA had a "harsh" sound for AC.

[CrazeeCarroll1]

I remember when SPA changed up the processing... They had it set just like B93.7 had theirs set... Way to harsh and way to over processed... Dunno if they did not think they could be heard, but it was bad bad bad... Would have been great processing for the stuff The Planet plays, but not AC... As for Fun's We are Young atleast you guys are hearing it... Unless I jam it through Spotify None of the cumulus stations plays it here or the Maveric Media stations for that matter...

I still think I'm hearing less 80s and even less 90s. 

I agree that there seems to be less, but when they do play them -- especially in the 80s bracket -- they still tend to fudge it with some softer ones that stick out. I certainly don't mind 80s and 90s but if you're at least leaning Hot AC, it would be nice to stick with the more upbeat tracks.

Glad you heard Fun. and, yeah, I heard Coldplay's "Paradise" as well (think that's a few singles behind, but still good to hear it). A good day for MY. Let's hope the trend keeps up.

Wanted to qualify that statement and note that even some upbeat tracks from the 80s still don't belong. I have relatives now in their 60s and 70s who were big Michael Jackson fans back in the Thriller days. Don't think that's the audience they should be shooting for.

...Coulda heard those songs starting 3 weeks ago on 103-3 Spin FM....jus' sayin...

'SPA's is too cranked.  It's very close or identical to 'FBC's, IMO.  It sounds like a ton of noise.  They've sounded that way since I've been around here.  Their processing should sound more like MY's did before they changed it in the summer.
The worst in the Entercom stable, though, is 93.3 The Planet - talk about noise - it's awful!  Definitely the worst in the market and it's been that way for ages.  I thought Entercom would've fixed it when they bought it, but they never did.

Yeah, I agree, but a lot of Michael Jackson's hits are popular with just as many younger people, though.  At least the one they played was rather upbeat ("Wanna Be Startin' Something" was the song, I think).  The Bonnie Tyler, Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, Bonnie Raitt (none of which I've heard today) stuff needs to be left to other gold based formats, IMO.  I'd stick with 80s new wave and rock.
