New Classic Rock station

[Dave]

Jarod back to ole tricks!

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Listened to Luis yesterday afternoon and Jarrod this morning - good stuff
Could really do without the EDM, Pop and R&B, don't get me wrong, I like Star 94.7's playlist. But if I want that I'll switch to 94.7
Platinum Hits 103.5 80's, 90's and 00's music selection is great, but if they want to play current music they could play more Of Monsters and Men, AJR, Vance Joy, Imagine Dragons, Panic and the Disco, Weezer etc. cause all those are currently on the charts

i was actually hoping they play more rock and stuff like evanescence and system of a down and disturbed and others.

dont get me wrong the radio station name is platinum hits ...but they didnt specify what genre of hits they'd be playing...

obviously we like the older stuff, I meant stuff that on the charts now. AJR, Vance Joy, Imagine Dragons, Panic and the Disco, Weezer are all on the Billboard Hot 100 right now.

but as Luis said yesterday, It's Platinum Hits Radio, so anything that's a hit they'll be playing.

[Rovin]

i guess they hadda attract some of d teen boppers & under 25-30 crowd with some current music they\youngsters accustom to hearing to pull them in , cause they wont know or be exposed to classics

some of dem youngsters from d time they hear any song with a electric guitar is like u throwing acid in their ears , poor kids dunno what is good stuff & they too close minded to take a listen cause to them "dat sounding lame" or "dise ole ppl kinda music" ....

[Slartibartfast]

Listened to this station for about 4 to 5 hours over the weekend. Didn't feel the need to switch to my own playlist while I was driving. I'm loving the the current selection. Feels like 95.1's way back wednesdays. I'm enjoying it as much as I can before they inevitably get overrun by ads.

[MG Man]

Bait and switch
Hook one category of listener and now that we’ve helped them establish a strong niche, they going mass market
Back to iPod for me

[Dizzy28]

Saturday morning they played R&B and pop. Clearly they are significantly different from the pre launch days.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

seems they play one classic then one modern in rotation

[SR]

Jarrod getting a lil annoying though

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

So they have Jarrod, Luis and Mike Ross - what about Jean Ambrose?

well bruh.... thats the question.... as long as we hav the ability to have mobile audio /headphones /ear phones etc.. that will have to do until we can actually listen in to a live local broadcast.

the closest we cud have ever gotten was MRU on 95.1.

now hes gone over to 103.5...lets hope they continue the programme...

Those two stations 103 and 104 need to
Tweak their equalization
They sound very muffled compared to other stations and are at a lower signal level too

Yes! 103 sounds like listening to 96kbps mp3s. Flat sound with lots of static.

[skylinechild]

not sure about jean....

iirc after jarrod left they got jean....

but they also have jodi. (she sounds vaguely familiar) ..they shud also get danah (95.1 mid morning mix dj)....

MRU was the best! Didn't mind losing the sleep just to take in that session. Oh well after one time will be a next.

Nah the ratio is definitely towards current crap now
Literally every time I switched from iPod to them, I heard a song I didn’t know / want to hear
