r.i.p. smooth jazz
as of 4pm today smooth jazz is no longer. 101.9 switched formats today, we are now WRXP new york's rock experience. i'm excited (as long as i get to keep my job...). i was on my way to my other job and put on 101.9 and U2 was playing, so i start singing along to "angel of harlem" then like a minute into it i realize i just put on smooth jazz and they're playing U2. then the jock comes on and is talking about how they're a brand new station and they just started airing about 45 minutes ago. i was worried, called my boss and she's like "yeah today at 4 we changed formats" she was kinda casual about it lol. tomorrow i'm driving all over long island and queens to promote our new format.
the new music is pretty awesome. it's a mix of classic rock and new rock. from yahoo:
The New York Rock Experience. "101.9 RXP" represents a new Adult Rock station in the New York tri-state market which merges New Music, Classic Rock, Alternative & Local Rock into a new adult blend called "The New York Rock Experience." 101.9 RXP will feature a variety of rock from artists like Franz Ferdinand, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana, Coldplay, U2, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews, The Police, Beck, Radiohead, The Who, Oasis, Arcade Fire, Social Distortion and REM ... a playlist not determined by era, but rather by the acoustic quality of each song, as determined directly by on-air personalities and staff.
so yeah, all the music i love. was never really a huge fan of smooth jazz, but i'm a lover of music and it was something different for me. however listening to this new format all day was great, loved every song they played while i was at work. i wonder if muse is included in the new music library, god i hope so. crap, i also hope i still get to go into the studio for an hour a day. ahhh i wonder what kind of contests we're doing. hopefully giving away tickets to shows i would want to see. ahhhh so excited, did i mention that? i guess i'll find out more tomorrow.
oh and our new logo is orange and black. carey high school represent! go hawks! good thing i have tons of orange accessories.
now i'm off to watch the entire disc of special features for Across the Universe. i want a jude from liverpool, if only just to listen to him talk all day long.
