Swimmod_Luna Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 All they say is "#whoisjeny". A couple weeks ago there were only one or two around town but now it seems like every other damn billboard I pass has it on there. I've tried to look up the hashtag and have found nothing and no one on my city's subreddit knows what they fuck the billboards are about either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmod_Luna Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 So they finally had the big reveal. It's a new radio station. That sounds like something they'd play at a dentist office. Aka like every other pop radio station ever. Boy was that hype worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the "JENY" was a play on "Gen Y" and it's supposed to be targeted towards millennials. Specifically white, female millennials. Apparently they missed the memo that most millenials have moved to Spotify and the like. They're talking all about how they're doing "10,000 songs in a row commercial free!" but then they still remind you what station you're listening to before and after every song which is basically a commercial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you probably know that it's a standard gimmick to put station ids after every song and that after the 10,000 songs it will be business as normal.

Satou Kazuma Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Growing up in the 90s to 00s I love listening to the radio on my favorite pop station, now I loathe it. I don't know 90% of these music performers outside of name recognition. Now I just listen to my local sports radio show even though I don't care for sports that much. I'll podcast the morning shows though, skipping the music and commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 There have been a couple of attempts at 70s radio stations in the Chicago area, and they've all failed. They haven't grasped that it wasn't just the music, but the DJs each having segments outside of the music. WLS had Larry Lujack - Cheap, Trashy Show Business Report, Clunk Letter of the Day, & Animal Stories (with Tommy Edwards). Bob Sirott - BS Love Counselor John Landecker - Boogie Check, Americana Panorama (made up story with the punch being a song title as a pun). Fred Winston - Poetry Corner-like thing where songs were read as poems in a kind of spoken word William Shatner way. Some 80s DJs tried to do the same sort of thing, but it wasn't quite as good - shock jocks started taking over & less music was being played.

There is no such thing as "Classic Rock". It's a catch-all for those too lazy to learn the appropriate terms of Acid, Glam, Progressive, Art, Arena, etc. But I'm sure this wasn't your intent. I believe there are such stations in Chicago, but they are not limited to just playing 70s music, which I was referring to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
