Thanks for the link. I miss Hot 99.5! Since I go to school in DC and work in a coffee shop on campus, this is often a station of choice. Nothing for nothing, I find it hilarious.

The playlists are relatively boring, run of the mill CHR, with a hell of a lot less variety than the Z. New tracks seem to take a while to add. Gold tracks include anything by Notorious BIG and Puff Daddy, as well as "Get It On Tonite" (Montell Jordan) and everyone's favorite, "Bring It All To Me" (Blaque/NSync).

"The Hot Morning Mess" (uh, what?) is the AM drive program, and frankly, I don't think the DJs have a clue sometimes. It's so bad it's good - me and a friend tuned in during every opening shift at the coffee shop. The DJs act like they have these set games and agendas that they do every week for the listeners, but since I listen consistently, they're pretty much lying. Oh, and there was this really awful "Gay versus Straight" game once with listeners calling in and answering horrible stereotypical questions that I think got canned because it was obnoxious and offensive. Don't get me started on presidential covererage and how they "went to the Poles," aka, called random people in Poland who spoke no English and asked them who Americans who should vote for.

Their slogans make no sense too - during the summer, it was the now infamous "Bottomless Hot Summer Streak" to describe their blocks of music programming.

At any rate, I'm happy their streaming, cause I need a good laugh while I'm thousands of miles away from them.

Damn! They started speeding up music since the last time they were streaming. >:( The aircheck I have of Hot 99.5 they were playing the songs at normal speed.

99.5 is such a joke! It's the perfect station to have blaring through out a drunken spring break themed gathering. Well, perhaps being wasted is the only way anyone can stomach their play lists.

Yeah, Hot kinda sucks. I don't mind the Morning Mess. They were good when they were in Jersey on B98.5 too. It's just the music that bugs me. They have to be one of the slowest CHRs in the country, especially on non-rhythmic stuff. DC is one of the biggest markets in the country; I just wish the CHR sounded like it. We need our own Z100.
