Hits 95.7 Hit Or Miss New Music Features

[daniel1784]

Hey! I'm going to start tracking Hit Or Miss New Music Features on Denver's iHeart Top 40 station "Hits 95.7". It's a segment where the DJ plays a song, and then you tell the DJ if you like it or not. I Think this could be a useful clue what is going to be serviced or not(before it even gets serviced) due to it being an iHeart station(there's others factors too ofcourse). Here's the archive:

10/10: Omar Apollo - Evergreen
10/11: Mike Posner - I’m Not Dead Yet
10/12: James Hype with Miggy Dela Rosa - Ferrari
10/13: Bad Bunny - Moscow Mule

My CHR used to do something similar to this and I always thought it was cool, even though I rarely listened to it. Sadly, they've stopped doing it in the past month or two now that they've cut back on the amount of new music they play.

They pit two songs up against each other for a long time and had people vote in a poll on their website for which new song they should play. Sometime last summer, they stopped that and switched to the format your station has, where the DJ just picked a new song and asked listeners if it was a hit or miss (although I think they called it "repeat or delete"). About a month or two ago, they cut the segment entirely and it's just regular programming now.

Oh, it's still on the website so Do you know if that's true? Just making sure, i believe you though.

I'm confused what you're asking? Are you asking if it's still on my station's website? If so, no, because they took it down when they stopped airing the segment.

If there's an attached picture here, it's not loading for me. This was the page it used to be on, but there's no poll there anymore and the link has been hidden from the main site menu, since the segment was discontinued. Hope that answers your question. kdwb.iheart.com/next-up/
