Day: May 30, 2002
Fellow capper Buffoon passes along this story from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
New Century Media yesterday said it is not only dropping the format of KBTB-FM (95.7), it’s dropping the idea of playing entire songs.
Instead of The Beat, which featured dance and rhythmic hits, the station will be known as Quick 96, and will feature “only the best parts of your favorite songs.” The station plans to offer country, Top 40, rock and adult hits, and play short sections from each. Quick 96 said it will play selections from more than 400 songs each hour; the selections will be numbered, and listeners will need to log on to www.Quick96.com to look up the song title and artists.
A release from New Century said the format will “address the short attention span of today’s busy music fan.” Station officials weren’t available for comment on whether the quick format is permanent format or a stunt to set up a change to another.
And I thought radio in central Pennsylvania was bad…
