Seriously, this shit sucks. Anyone ever get one?
If I’m racist, wouldn’t I just not listen?
Hmm, 6000 ILX posts about things we hate say nope
dude considering the local ‘urban’ stations play far more variety of what i want to hear than local ‘pop’ stations, these days at least, im willing to put up with it
also at the most they take what 10 seconds, most of which is played over the intro to the song anyway
LA’s new Movin’ 93.9, intended to appeal to Working Urban Women apparently plays nothing but “Family Affair” and shoutouts to people “still in the struggle.”
This immediately makes it the fourth-best station in LA.
Next thing you’ll be telling us you don’t like Reggaeton.
sly stone or mary j?
A lot of UK Radio Stations have this thing on a weekend where they ask people to phone in and tell everybody where they’re going out that night. It drives me nuts. I DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT CLUB YOU’RE GOING TO, PEOPLE.
We just got a ‘Movin’ station here (Movin’ 107.5), but I’m pretty sure they want to be the Gay Disco channel. Justin Timberlake, early-90s dance pop, etc.. Easily the best music station in town now.
Mary J (and Dre!)
Sly Stone would make it the second-best station in LA.

yeah, this sounds good. makes me want to buy a radio (i don’t currently own one).
I think this kind of shit is awesome, it makes it seem like you’re part of a city-wide party or something
Urban formats are increasingly the only commercial radio I ever bother turning to, and I’ve never particularly minded the shout-outs.
BTW, has anyone ever listened to the Hot 97 show where people “air their beef?” I haven’t, but I’m always baffled that it exists.
On the Friday morning version of the syndicated Russ Parr morning show (on some US r’n’b/rap stations) during the ‘wrong song’ segment where DJ 6th Sense mixes old rap and pop and r’n’b they take callers from everywhere and I kinda like the way Parr and his in his studio assistants respond to callers saying where they’re from by repeating the city name and stretching it out (Baaaaawston)
But I kinda get bored with the “get on the train” call-in segment on the Saturday morning soul oldies show on the DC Pacifica station WPFW
our excellent local station WORT has great shoutouts on saturday nites, ‘this is boo boo, i wanna say hey to my cousin alisa and to my cousin jimmy who’s up in juvie stay strong lil man’
it’d be funny if WORT was out of a town called St. Johns. cos then they could say “keeping you from killing yourself...natural, like.”
when dedications are, like, a scheduled thing (“NINE TO TEN SATURDAY DEDICATION HOUR!!!”) I love them so much
next thing you’ll be telling us you don’t like Love Songs Along the KOST with Delilah
The king of dedications and shout outs in LA has long been Art Laboe.
BIG UP!
my local station plays “Where The Cash At” sometimes
