Where are the new songs? ewwwwwwww

[Slinky]

It's obviously some sort of Memorial Day flashback promo. Sit back and enjoy- you don't hear those songs on the radio that often. I'm sure the regular playlist will be back on Tuesday.

^Yeah D. J. this mornin said they were "takin the weekend off" and playin all retro tracks

Oh thanks for the info!

I didn't know about the "Memorial Day".

[tico]

A number of stations do some sort of flashback weekend around Memorial Day. I wouldn't be surprised if stations do it around 4th of July (it's on a Saturday this year) and Labor Day weekend in September.

[Rurry]

Yeah, z100 does flashbacks on Labor Day. Not an entire weekend of them, but they mix in a bunch of old songs in between the current ones. I remember hearing Livin' on a Prayer last year...pretty weird hearing 80s Bon Jovi on z100 lol

I did a "Throwback Weekend" on my station for Memorial Day, as well. I put about 150 songs back into rotation from 1989-2001 and played 6-7 of them per hour. I was basically scheduling the music log as A (power current) - N (throwback) - C (power recurrent) - N - A, etc. It sounded surprisingly good on the air, thanks to a TON of work by my night guy in putting together specialized imaging for the weekend.

We'll do it again from July 2-5, a random weekend in August, and then Labor Day.

It's fun to hear some of those songs back on the air, as well as make a little extra revenue, if the sales department can sell sponsorships for the weekend, as mine did. :)
