I got this from ClubPlanet and its from Buster himself.
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. |

Well Sh¡t. Any way you cut it, this really does suck. Complaining about content is one thing, but losing the whole station is completely another, especially when it was one of the few market footholds for dance music on American airwaves. Given how long it had been around, I thought Party 93.1 was here to stay.
Hmm. Changes. |

| This plain sucks, Global DJ Broadcast is going to have to find a new home, Hopefully, ETN.FM can work something out to get the show to still broadcast on the weekends. |

I can not "+1" that enough. Go to Sirius, I need another weekly show to listen to on there besides Swedish Egil's Groove Radio International and Judge Jules' Weekend Warm-up. |

I dont like the idea of satellite radio, Which is a service you gota pay in order to get the channels you want, Radio has always been free and it should stay that way. |
