They didn't really have a good format..
Most of the people I know that do listen to EDM don't even listen to Party 931.
Not that they're commercial, it's because they're were / are overly commercial. There is stuff out there that everyone can agree on, still commercial, but still likeable (even to the mass's).. Yet they choose to play the same stuff over and over and over...
Up to yesterday their songs in rotation were ones that they've had since the opened (what was it, three years ago?).

I agree with pretty much everything you said, same can be said about 94.9 zeta rock though, Zetas ratings were really bad, yet its back today
like I said be4 maybe its just temporary just like how Zeta was till 6pm today
stay tuned..... |

I agree this closing down sucks...not cause I love GDJB but because it's one of the few decent shows that gets commercial exposure.
On the bright side, though, with Party 931 and IDT changing their formats, this may be good for the underground scene to really take shape again...to make us work our asses off harder to find the really good stuff. |

Buster posted some stuff on another board concerning the station...

Bottom line, this is a sad day in dance music. Whether you liked it or not, PARTY 93-1 is no more. Apparently when ZETA switched their format to Latin hip-hop and r&b BOB NEIL, president of COX RADIO saw the vacuum in the market that this created. He worked this weekend to bring everything about through the COX RADIO higher ups and told station management today mid day, and the rest of the station at 4PM. The switch over took place at 6PM.
This is all the information I have. It happens in radio, I wish it did not happen to this station. It has been a part of me for the last 3 years. It was a very rare opportunity to expose dance music to the masses, no matter if it was freestyle, euro, or late night underground mix-show. Yes, the repetition drive me nuts too, and the play list. But one thing I could never argue with was were the numbers. Apparently BOB NEIL thinks we will get better numbers as a ROCK station.
Today is a sad day for dance music, an opportunity I hope we will have the chance to follow through with again in the future. |

The future of the Global DJ Broadcast is uncertain, This is a dark day for all of us who were involved in making this possible, I can only hope that ETN.FM and Party107.com can work on a plan to get the show broadcast every weekend, After all, Armin Van Buuren teamed up with ETN.FM and Party107.com to bring us a State Of Trance every thursday, Perhaps the same will happen with Global DJ Broadcast. |
