Sunny 93.9 Reaches Dusk

i am really upset about the change in the music on 93.9—i used to have it playing on a regular basis and now—-the radio is off—-

I must say I am pretty disappointed in the new change. I actually live in maryland. When I traveled to NC last summer, we found 93.9 on our way down and it was the best station we had ever heard. It was the only station I had ever heard that had a true mix in styles of music. You heard everything from country to jazz. We enjoyed it so much, when we got home we found it online and listened to it over the internet on the regular basis. I am very disappointed that my favorite station has changed formats. Looks like I’ll be finding a new favorite station.

I have been listening to 93.9 for the past couple of years. I was disappointed when Madison left. I really liked listening to her voice and Dave’s. I was an avid listener for the almost two months of Christmas music. I was really looking forward to getting back to normal on Dec. 26 and boy was I ever surprised and disgusted. I thought you all had lost your mind. Who in their right mind wants to listen to your mess in the morning at 6am. I am so disappointed that you no longer will be playing soft rock. I guess your Christmas music will go next. It won’t fit in with the rest of your junky music. I won’t be listening to your station anymore and I will definitely tell my friends to not waste their time on your station either. I guess I will just KISS you GOODBYE!!!

I personally like the change, and am glad DELILIAH is gone – blegh. Today I heard En Vogue, old school Mariah, C&C; Music Factory – just to name a few. I grew up listening to this stuff, and its fun to hear it all again.

I usually just listento my iPodin the car,but my FM transmitter wasn’t behaving yesterday, so I cut on the new station. It’s not bad, but not great either. More of the same from that giant, corporate conglomorate known as Clear Channel.

Count me as another “dance music aficionado” who is willing to give this channel a chance, but doesn’t really expect to be particularly pleased with the result. If I start hearing classic ’80s dance offerings like Human League or Dead Or Alive, I’ll believe they might have the right idea, but if it’s the same handful of Rhino records “Disco Classics, vol. 377!!” collections that recycle “I Will Survive” and “YMCA” every 2 hours, it’s dead in the water.

I liked the old format.. Where did Dave go? I liked knowing I didn’t have to worry about what was said with my kids in the car, you know that won’t be the case anymore. I liked Delilah, I even liked the Christmas music, although they seem to start earlier each year. I know many people who tune in just for the Christmas music. Well I guess I will be listening to more CDs and less radio.

WRSN: We Really Suck Now. Before, I could stand the music (I prefer a mix along the lines of The River before they went classic rock) for Dave Kent in the morning–smart, funny & kid friendly. I missed Madison when they dumped her. Now it’ll be Bill & Sherry. Whoopi? Thanks, but no thanks.
BTW, I believe the official name for the new format is “Rhythmic Adult Contemporary,” or some other similar god-awful corporate category.
And if anybody knows where Dave Kent went, let us know.

I am so disappointed with the change. In the last few years, I would look forward to my drive to work because Dave & Madison would be there like they were my friends. Sometimes that is what got me out the door was the thought that I could at least listen to them while driving. Also, I could trust what was being said in the car with my children. I will now have to find another station or perhaps rely on a CD.

i like the change. its a total guilty pleasure station now. c’mon, you know that ice ice baby makes you smile. sure i miss madison, and i doubt whoopie will be good, but i sure as heck don’t miss delilah.
anybody know where madison is now? between here and g105, i’ve been listening to her since i moved here.

Total shot in the dark here, but I think she has pretty much retired from radio. I believe both she and the woman that took her place at G105, Amy, married guys that made enough where they didn’t have to put up with Clear Channel politics.

We enjoyed the old rhythm and blues songs the most and really miss that good music. What happened to Big John now that he’s not on Sundays — can his show be found on another station?

I have to speak up here and say I LOVE the new format. I like non-mainstream music too, but I also like pop-culture, and this new format is pure pop culture glorified. So I think its great! Sunny started out good, but went south putting me to sleep whenever I would listen to it, and this new format may do the same. But as for now, it is da bomb! And as many others have said thank goodness Delilah is gone!!!! I understand the theraputic value it may have provided folks, but it drove me crazy! So I love the new format while it lasts until they strip it down like they always do to a few select songs they play over and over and over … In the meantime, it’ll suffice as something to get me by while in the process of dropping XM and picking up Sirius.
Oh, the only bad thing about the station now, and I think its a general agreement, is that the Whoopi morning show is absolutely horrible!

This new station really disappointed me!! I agree with other comments made- I LOVED Madison and Dave- I NEVER had to worry about what was said or being done on the radio (Bob and Tom, Bob and the Showgram) that my 5 year old might hear.
I am also disappointed at night, on my drive home. Out of all of the “dance” music out here, I keep hearing the same songs over and over!! What is with that?? Yuk!
At least Sunny had such a variety, my son and I knew most of the songs, and if we heard one we didn’t know, we liked it anyway!
I hope this new “dance” station goes away soon!!! Bring back my Sunny!!! Please!!

Sunny?…Are you Funny? The new format is so refreshing and upbeat. It is really cool to hear some of the songs that the other stations have
“forgotten” about. The music does have a “make you feel good” theme. It is nice to hear some upbeat, “dance in your car” music after a day from hell, which I have most days. Now, for the mornings, I would rather listen to my toilet flush over and over. What in the world? There has to be another set up for that. I will only be listening when the morning “vomit” is over.

I do not like the new change!! and I have switched radio stations. 93.9 was at one time my main radio station, but no more. I really enjoyed the music you played during the day and listening to Madison and Dave. I could not understand why after Madison left she was not replaced, but now I see. I just hope that Dave has not left, he was great. Unless you change your music back to “soft rock” you can count me out, I will not be listening. This new format is a disaster!!

Dave Kent is the PM drive host on the new KISS FM and he is doing a great job and from what Ive heard there will be no reason to ever worry about what is said on air with the new format it seems to still be targeted at a lot of the same people and the playlist doesnt seem to be a corporate mess. It sure is better then tired MIX101.5. As far as variety I have hearde everything from Madonna to George Clinton to 80′s disco so Im not sure why people seem to think its the same stuff over and over. I think people in this town assume corporate means they have short plaaylists. The Rooster actually has the broadest playlists when it comes to country (curtis plays same few sonngs over and over and Capitol broadcasting CMC can only be picked up in parts of Raleigh.

I have to say that some of the changes are good- too much too fast it not such a good thing. If Clearchannel wants to make the best change of all, they need to drop Bob and the Showgram. Bob is still doing the same boring stuff(not even close to being funny) he was doing 18 years ago. Come on, who wants to hear contestants playing games with stupid radio personalities? It is like being invitated to a party, but asked not to talk to anyone.

I really miss Sunny 93.9 and Madison. I didn’t like the straight Christmas music but loved the station otherwise. The current one is just horrible and I can’t find a good replacement for Sunny. Typical change for these days…it’s not always for the best!

I’ve switched out of the 93.9KissFM. I too miss the old Sunny 93.9 where I loved the music and didn’t have to worry about what was being played or said. I’m glad they kept Dave Kent on and hope he’s enjoying the later time slot now that he and his wife have a baby.

What a smart marketing strategy calling the attention of listeners to tune into 93.9 so that they could feel the contrast between old but successful music and disco/dance commercial rythms. Now, this is enough. Bring us back quality and depth of radio experience, please. Ok?

I love 93.9 sooooo very much I used to live in raleigh and listen to 93.9 everyday..now I’m living in Thai and always think of this station especially Dalilah when I was cooking in the kitchen and waiting for Dalilah come….since back to Thai I didnt have time to listen (online) till now just know that the station had changed just like a bad news for me.
