Rewind Music

The bad thing about Star 107.9 was is that it came out at a time when a bunch of the 80's music was still being shared with other stations. You all must remember when WNCI from 5pm to 3am played Friday night 80's every friday night. The 80's were good but well overplayed at the time. With the 70's through early 2000's music mix it sort of helps rewinds music.

I've been a huge fan of Rewind since they came around, and even more so since Gen X went crappy a few months back. Sound is crisp, format keeps moving, talent is good, etc. No one around here is doing exactly what they're doing as far as the genre.
103.5 comes in wonderfully here in Thornville, but it gets clobbered within 30-35 miles of the tower before you even get to Zanesville by their low-power 103.3 (Radio U relay I believe) and "Highway Country" 103.7, which supposedly is directional away from Columbus. Before 103.7 was on the air, 103.5 was still pretty listenable out there once you got out from under 103.3 slop.

And that makes me think... what's the best sounding Saga station? Mix is sounding more CHR-leaning everyday, but they tend to get repetitive quick (as most CHR's do). Sunny 95 reminds me of a "Fresh" AC station. They sound really big city from when I listen to them, and I like it. Rewind though always catches me by surprise. Their format has definitely evolved, and it'd evolve even more if it wasn't for Sunny there. They have them sounding tight. Mix is the "current hit station", Sunny is the "soft pop station for at work" and then Rewind is the "feel good station" covering many decades of hit music. I love it. I don't like that most of their jocks are VT'd and they'll often use a jock from another station to fill a shift. I also think they should use jingles, but I think TJ is against them. Overall though, he's done a magnificent job.
