An Actual Radio Personality
Yesterday night for the first time, Energy 92.7 has an actual live personality at the station! His name is Trevor Simpson. He gave out the station's phone number to allow listeners to call in and say what they think of the station, and what they are doing. He gave shouts and stuff to those who called in. The phone number is 1-866-534-0927. Normally, it goes to an answering machine that asks you to leave a message that would help the station improve.
What's Getting A Lot Of Airplay
During the last few days, there have been some songs which have earned a lot of airplay. In addition to being a lot of airplay for the station, some of it is quite significant even for the bay area. Janet Jackson's latest "All Nite (Don't Stop)" has been heard at least once every sixty minutes. There are only a couple other stations in the bay area that are even playing this song. Same with Despina Vandi's international smash hit "Gia" which is finally getting heard in the bay area. Better late than never. Christina Milian's dance-leaning hip hop track "Dip It Low" has also been getting a lot of airplay on Energy 92.7 and all over the bay area on 106 KMEL, Wild 94.9, and on 89.3 KOHL. And one recurrent track that has been seeing a gain this week is "Sexual (Li Da Di)[Thunderpuss Mix]" by Amber. This track was a smash hit in the bay area back in 1999 and 2000. It got a lot of play in it's original mix (which on a side note, was the one played on every station, except during the mixshows). When KZQZ 95.7 was around, they played the Thunderpuss Remix of the Amber track heavily in their mixshows, as did Wild 94.9. Wild has started throwing that track in the mix a lot more often than they used to.
Bay Area Exclusives
Energy 92.7 may not have an extensive recurrents catalog from the last five years, but they have a lot of dance tracks from the 90's which got little to no airplay. Sure, some of these tracks were played during mixshows, but not routinely during regular airplay. Here is a sample of some tracks that have been heard lately that were not routinely played in the bay area, but they are now.
Armand Van Helden - The Funk Phenomena
Bad Yard Club - In De Ghetto
Funky Green Dogs - Fired Up!
Haddaway - What Is Love
Billie Ray Martin - Your Loving Arms
Robert Miles - Children
Nightcrawlers - Push The Feeling On
Real McCoy - Another Night
Robin S - Show Me Love [Stonebridge Mix]
Ultra Nate - Free
