102.9 "The Lake" Debut

Well I guess it could be worse.
At least "The Lake" sounds better than "SHE-FM."

Actually, 102.9 isn't using Premium Choice.  Its recently played is quite different from Baltimore and Cleveland.

I wouldn't think they'd be able to use Premium Choice during the 5,000-song marathon - radically different when you have to factor in commercials and such.

By the way, I was listening earlier this hour, and right after The Eagles' "Life In The Fast Lane" (where the "g** damn" lyric was snuffed out), I heard Wham's "Everything She Wants," which has the most awkward song edit I have ever heard. They cut out the line, "I don't know what the hell you want from me," and bridged the verse with the start of the chorus. However, the line, "My God, I don't even think that I love you" remained intact. 

And who's the voice guy for this thing? I would guess Ken Hudson Campbell, who played the part of "Herman's Lust" on the show "Herman's Head", but he's dead.

If 103.5 SHE-FM and The Lake are playing the same thing, they have to be using some kind of Premium Choice.  None of the other CC variety hits stations I could think of off the top of my head were using it, forgot about SHE.  Actually, the WSHE calls are legendary with the 103.5 frequency in Miami, so that handle might make more sense to locals....more than the "Lake."

I can't stand the VO or the imaging on 102.9.  No idea who it is.

DtotheJ - Ken Hudson Campbell is the voice over guy and very much alive. He also voices for Cleveland, Ohio adult hits station WHLK "106.5 The Lake."

I thought I recognized those pipes... Thanks! I'm probably confusing Ken with another actor on "Herman's Head". Recently, when Herman Cain was campaigning for President, they got only three of the four "Head" actors together to do a revamped version of the show for the website Funny Or Die.
