: : : Since Jamz beat Z104 in 18-34 in a few dayparts... I ask which station is better:
: : : 93.1 Jamz or Z104?
: : Hard to compare because they're two different stations.
: : Z104 is Mainstream CHR, 93.1 Jamz is Rhythmic CHR.
: : However Jamz is better IMO because they're live more than Z104 is these days - Connie & Fish are syndicated from a Classic Rock station in Milwaukee, Ryan Seacrest beams in from Hollywood onto every CHR Clear Channel owns, voicetracked liner card reading PD in PM, and a night show that's only live for 2 or 3 hours
: While I agree on the live-local thing and I prefer the more rhythmic music, I've got to give Z104 points for overall presentation. As much as I despise cookie-cutter imaging and that "Clear Channel CHR sound," Z's overall vibe is more polished and together than Jamz - tho maybe Jamz is going for raw, who knows.
I hate Z's current voice guy. Who is it anyway? Give me the old Sean Caldwell instead any day. This guy sounds like my grandpa after smoking too much pipe.
