For thye person wanting etn.fm in their car...
You are currently able to stream at 300k using your cell phone for $20/m in the miami area. I believe it's a plan from verizon.

It might come down to that. I'm in. Even for something less harsh like "Buster is best seen, but not heard.. Let the DJ spin" or something like that to get the message across.

I think for such an irritable blockhead like Buster, it'll HAVE to be harsh.

I don't think any posters will be neccessary since he won't be broadcasting on 93.1

Perhaps, but he's still with A3 and they are a sponsor.

That's a great idea!!!

Seriously... does anyone know of a contact at Ultra that maybe we can sign a petition to hear the music instead of that asshole? For some reason I think he'll still be @ Ultra.

A few years ago, I emailed them about this issue. The reply was "I agree". But even that didn't help. Maybe going after A3 might help.

Originally posted by phonk64 Just for a bit of perspective. Atlanta radio has been teh gay recently as well. We lost our best classic rock station abruptly one night and now it plays mellow, yuppie rock all the time (its even CALLED Dave FM). Its lame and they never tell you and I think thats what makes people mad the most. Change sucks. Since the radio scene in atlanta sucks so much, I pretty much only listen to CD's and my MD player, which is the ONLY way I can listen to dance music in my car here. Unless of course you WANT to listen to top40 shit with MikeB from Eleven50 on fridays (LAME!!!). *sigh* Radio is dead to me. And some caution on Satellite radio. It might seem like a good alternative, but the electronic stations on XM (all 2 of them) play pretty mainstream crap. My sister has it in her car and it was alright. My Cd's were still better. If only there was a way to get etn.fm streams in my car...(hint hint enginners) *Raises a fist to The Man, aka ClearChannel*

Preach on!! WTF Happended to Z93? I loved that station so fucking much...If I didn't have cd's I could always depend on that station and now i have nothing..atlanta sucks for radio cept for saturday's on 91.1 WREK GA Tech 10-12 http://www.wrek.org EDM Sound System

fuck the station, it's cheese, and the retards like Buster the butt buster but how about

GDJB?!!!!???
and Nocturnal Sessions???????!!????
what will they do with the shows that MADE the station?

I'll never listen to party 93.1 online. Is markus organizing anything? I mean, it IS what made him what he is today...

Originally posted by PVD_S11DJ hmm it looks like they were ranked #17 on the latest arbitron list of Miami FM stations.... any station with numbers that low has a limited life... its too bad it wasn't better run - when I was in Miami a few weeks ago, I kept hearing the same 10 songs over and over on it. They were playing Tiesto's Traffic like it was the current #1 or something. 01) WHQT - urban adult contemporary 02) WCMQ - spanish oldies 03) WLYF - adult contemporary 04) WPOW - power 96 - hip hop 05) WEDR - urban soul 06) WXDJ - tropical 07) WMIB - urban soul 08) WAMR - spanish contempporary 09) WHYI - Y100 top 40 10) WMXJ - oldies 11) WLVE - smooth jazz 12) WFLC - adult contemporary 13) WRMA - spanish contemporary 14) WKIS - country 15) WRTO - tropical 16) WBGG - classic rock 17) WPYM - party 93.1 dance

It's obvious that those pop remixes and freestyle songs dropped party 931's rating, not tracks that define dance today like Tiesto - Traffic. Freestyle is not a kind of music that transcends time, due to the fact that a lot of their hits were shot up straight out of the underground arena without having been properly reproduced or mixed down commercially. It was good in its time, and that's it. Mega 103.5 slumped in ratings as soon as they introduced freestyle into their (70s and 80s disco/synthpop) format. It's like reggaeton (the only reason the latin music industry accepted it was because its independant labels were giving them competition; a lot of reggaeton tracks are poorly [mass]produced by people who obviously have had no commercial production experience)... 10 years from now, it'll be so old and busted, if no one does anything original with it.

As for pop/top40 remixes, they are very dangerous to mess with. Especially if they're worse than the originals. Unfortunately, Party 931 was playing remixes that made you long for their originals far more than these half-assed dance mixes did. Hell, most of their remixes were produced by the actual radio DJs, no wonder a lot of them were shitty and poorly produced. I knew I wasn't alone because the public here in Miami would often talk about how lame those remixes were. I've never heard a conversation about how the remixes in party 931 have totally revolutionized pop music as we know it, or have made them any more appealing than their originals.

What makes a station good and unique are the tracks it plays. You don't hear every other song on a country station, being a country remix of a hiphop song, nor do you hear on the hiphop station every other song being a remix of a rock song. Party 93.1 was trying TOO hard to please the masses, that they have not only lost respect from the EDM listeners, but they've lost respect from the pop listeners as well. Personally, Party 931 offended me by making it look like dance music was an 80s and 90s music, but has no place in the mainstream market today other than to make stupid dance mixes of pop songs by playing more freestyle, classic dance, and pop remixes than actual genre-defining dance tracks.

I knew death to such a station was on its way, but I didn't want this to happen. I wrote them emails telling them to please change their format to something more unique. It is sad this station had to end this way. Now there's nothing worth listening to on the radio for me... especially since my favorite shows like Nocturnal Sessions and Global DJ Broadcast are gone.

Let this be a warning to future dance stations. Keep your pop remixes and golden oldy dance classics to an extremely low ratio compared to the actual new, genre-defining dance tracks that make dance music what it is today.

EXACTLY!!!

Without GBDJ and especially our file-sharing Markus would be nothing!

Hopefully Markus realizes this and also realizes that he needs to find another venue.

I think MadProps need to go out to Tigerclaw and others that ripped these shows for all of us.

Hey guys, I think its appropriate to do a tribute DJ set on my show this thursday night on ETN.fm I currently have some jingles and I may have the January 2002 WPYM signed clip. However, I need your help with more jingles and voice overs for Party 93.1. Please, if anyone recorded stuff such as jingles, voice overs etc etc please IM or PM me here on TA. Lets do this right.

Not to worry folks, GDJB will return soon, Heres the official press release from Markus taken from www.globaldjbroadcast.com.

As many of you now know, on February 14, 2005 at 6 p.m. Party 93.1 changed format to rock. The Global DJ Broadcast will no longer be heard on 93.1.

To our loyal fans and listeners all over the globe we thank you for tuning in every week over the past 3 years. In the last 24 hours, we have had many offers to air Global DJ Broadcast and are taking our time to consider each option. We are going to take a few weeks off and recharge ourselves, and will be back on the air soon.

We�d like to thank the employees and staff of Cox Radio and WPYM/Party 93.1 for the support over the last 3 years. When one door closes, another door opens.

The guest DJ sets that were scheduled to air over the next few weeks will be heard on www.ETN.FM during the time the Global DJ Broadcast was normally aired (Sunday/Monday 1a.m EST/6 a.m. GMT) We feel as we have made a commitment to our guest djs these sets should be aired for the loyal listeners of GDJB to enjoy.

We appreciate your many emails expressing your feelings over this unfortunate change of events and we look forward to new opportunities and events to come.

GDJB crew

what about nocturnal sessions?

they had party patrols, least commercials, late-night mixes, and all that. was the station not making money or something or are rating the only thing that matter?

I think they just saw posibilities for a greater audience playing rock, that's it, more audience more money.

least commercials? heh yeah right... every 25 minutes there was a commercial break... it may feel like less commercials to you since most stations go one 50 minutes and then take a long commercial break.. Party 931 divided the commercials, so it felt like you were getting less, but you were actually getting the same amount.

The late-night mixes are what made Party world famous, but the general audience isn't going to be up all night listening to the radio. A lot of the listeners probably didn't even know there were good late-night shows.

Party wasn't doing too well (I don't need to go into that again), so in a desperate attempt to make more money and sweep up the rock audience Zeta had lost, they became 93 Rock.

It's not that Miami doesn't like dance music. It's that Party 931 was playing a crappy dance format, ignoring most current dance hits for oldskool freestyle and pop remixes, playing the same 10 songs over and over again, and lack of radio DJ/MCs. Listening to party 931 was like having a jukebox... it gets boring after awhile.. and that annoying voice grr.. I'd rather hear some Y-100 DJ nagging about Britney's boobs than the same prerecorded voice saying "PPParty 931 South Florida's PURE dance Channel" after every song.

Furthermore, putting down stations that don't even have the same format as you is no professional way to convert listeners from their stations to yours. Of course when a station is new, they're going to play less commercials than everybody else. As the station ages, they play more and more commercials till they're like everybody else.

Also, the strong gay support on Party 931 could have also cut down on its ratings. I'm not a homophobic person, but there are a lot out there in Miami. Once the station started openly supporting gays and having gay talk radio, you were automatically labeled a queer for listening to the station. A lot of my homophobic friends stopped listening to Party because of that.

I love how you said "PPParty 931 South Florida's PURE dance Channel" LMAO

but I agree with you on this 100%
the ONLY thing that MADE the station was the GDJB and Nocturnal Sessions...but look at the times of those shows...
NS- Saturdays 3-5 AM
GDJB- SUNDAY NITE/MONDAY MORNING- 1-5 AM
nooooooooo way many people stayed up for that (or even knew of it)...I loved both and I listened to NS more because it was on a weekend but the GDJB I had to put it on to go to sleep because I had to wake up early the next morning, its not as if I could have stayed up listening to it.
If they changed their format, as you stated, they would have made it...at least have a DJ and PLAYING real DANCE music not a bunch of crap over and over...and most of it was not dance music it was cheesy remixes. I remember 107.1 lol it sucked because they just played CDs, but at least better music was being played and it was alot more successful than 93.1 and 107.1 was an underground station. SAD.

Could we have been better off without Party 931 ever existing?

I think there's a possiblity. After Party hurling insults at other stations, playing crappy pop remixes and passing them off as real dance music, supporting gays to the point that it felt like you had to be gay in order to like dance music.

Party could have possibly ruined the potential growth of EDM, I don't know maybe that's just me, but I feel dance music has a lot less respect locally ever since Party came on the scene.

agreed again! Honestly the only thing I got from it was the two Free 4th of July bashes...I got to see PvD & Ti�sto for free and also NS and GDJB. I know GDJB will continue through the web and NS will probably be gone but it's not like Edgar doesn't spin at venues.
The funny thing is that they started out...no commercials and they played and I'm afraid to say this, SOMEWHAT better music when they first began then as time passed, it turned into the biggest cheesefest...even more than when they first started...when if you think about it, shouldn't they have gotten better with time. The gay radio show was completely absurd because WTF do gays and EDM have to do with each other...big loss of reputation there...also it sort of puts people who listen to REAL EDM to shame, it's leading for people to label us homosexuals. I am not in the least bit homophobic but it was a bad call on their part. I wouldn't even say they played the same 10 songs over...more like 5 songs. I don't think any of those people know what it takes to run a REAL EDM radio station besides I don't even think it's possible without the cheese spreading over the cracker.
I'm glad to be honest...it gave dance music a bad name (exception: NS and GDJB)
oh well I have my CD's!

well gay people did have a part in EDM... they invented house and garage... so they deserve their props, but Party abused the props and went over the top.

DURING DAY TIME RADIO (where little kids are listening), this bullshit was on the commercials...
