djmikebugout Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Originally posted by majinbuu 93.1 is definately better than 103.5, but if you listen for an extended amount of time you hear songs over and over...its very repetitive yeah basically all my friends from miami gripe about the same problems we do...only difference is KTU kills lasgo and party 93 kills it 6 months earlierMixshow wise KTU isnt that bad BUT the global DJ Broadcast has DEFINITELY taken the thrown from the once mighty KTU Sanctuary...only good thing now is Showboat is the mc for it Denny, Boris and Vicious still throw down some dope sets but it just doesnt have the same feel as a show anymore. I used to stay up and tape the show, or listen on the way home from the club all the timeMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixenfoxxy Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Originally posted by infinite Apparently you people don't seem to understand that hip hop and rnb are the most popular genre's of music these days especially for the target audience which KTU is aimed at.

No, we do understand that, but we still think it's a bit excessive when hip hop has 97.1, 107.5 or something, and 105.1 exclusively, plus the majority of play time on Z100, KC101 ecc. so now that what is supposed to be the dance station is playing it too, we're irritated. I will flat out admit I'm a jaded house head. I think it blows that the clubs hat were once ruled by house and now empty shells that dole out boring, played out on the radio already rap tracks that all sound the same and mention nothing besides how cool my car is, how tight my ho's ass is squeezed into her jeans, and how much cristalle i bought in an unimpressive VIP room. Don't get me wrong, I like hip hop, but I like what it used to be - biggie, tupac, run DMC, skee-lo (lol!)... and i'm not hating. one of my good friends is a great hip hop DJ, and i respect what he, and the other hip hop djs do, but i think the market is desperately saturated and completely parched of originality.

vizualbyte Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Originally posted by joecrack13 seriously is there something we can do about this cause ill lead the way (im laid off anyway so it will give me something to do)...and whats up with all these stations on a retro kick like playing 80's and shit...its like almost in tune with the wack ass fashion these days.. I think everything these days has a feel to the 80's.. from music, cartoons, fashion, whatever. its just that people who gres up as kids in the 80's are in the position to decide what gets made. in ten years from now.. its gonna be the 90s feel...

mattm2o Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 If I hear one more time how "KTU This" and "KTU that" im gonna puke..Give it up already, and I don't wanna hear "This is Corprate America force feeding us"For the Um-Teenth Thousanth Time I will explain why we don't have a "REAL DANCE STATION" in NYC.....The four large radio station owners in the region (Cox, Emmis, Infinity/CBS, and Clear Channel) have all done significant market research (sp) into the world of dance music. The problem is the feedback that comes back from those polled is not strong enough to have one of these companys change formats on one of their stations. That cost's MILLIONS of dollars, that a company doesen't want to gamble on a format change unless they are 100% sure that the returns are going to be profitable....Im certian (Working for one of these companys) we are only a year or 2 away from things changing, the company I work for is currently in the planning stages for a possible format change. But again this is still a while off.So untill then keep buying CD's and listen to your own damn music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
