Analysis of the 10@10s / 9@9s 5/1-6/5 (1-month sample)

[CapnJack]

Haven’t done this in a long while (stations/shows have come and gone, including KFOG) — breakdown of decades played from 5/1-6/5:


Station                                                  60s  70s  80s  90s  00s  10s  Theme
-------                                                  ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -----
Norfolk Bob (WNOB 93.7 Chesapeake, VA - Adult Hits)        1    7    9    5    3    0    0
The Peak (WXPK 107.1 White Plains, NY - AAA)               5    8    8    5    0    0    0
Bloomington Bob (WBBE 97.1 Bloomington, IN - Adult Hits)   0    8    7    5    0    0    0
Rock 107 (WEZX 106.9 Scranton, PA - Classic Rock)          2   10    9    4    0    0    0
Springfield Bob (WCVS 96.7 Springfield, IL - Adult Hits)   0    4    8    5    0    0    0
The Whale (WDRC 102.9 Hartford, CT - Classic Rock)         2    4    5    1    0    0   13
Austin Bob (KBPA 103.5 Austin, TX - Adult Hits)            0    4   11    7    2    0    1
The Drive (WDRV 97.1 Chicago, IL - Classic Rock)           1   12    4    0    0    0    8
The Eagle (KTGL 92.9 Lincoln, NE - Classic Rock)           1   14    4    0    0    0    6
The Lodge (WLGE 106.9 Door County, WI - AAA)               0    5    7    6    2    0    5
The Arrow (KRSP 103.5 Salt Lake City, UT - Classic Rock)   0   11   10    0    0    0    0
The Vine (KVYN 99.3 Saint Helena, CA - AAA)                0    4    8    6    6    1    0

Notes: Three of the stations are AAA format, five are classic rock, and the other four ("BOB") are adult hits.  Who plays the 1960s?  Norfolk Bob, The Peak and the Classic Rock stations.  The Classic Rock stations have added the early 1990s to their rotation (save for The Drive and The Eagle).  Who plays the 2000s?  Norfolk Bob, Austin Bob, The Lodge, and The Vine — and only The Vine has ventured into the 2010s (now that Radio 94.9 of Colorado has dropped 10@10).

Obviously I have time on my hands due to the Shelter-In-Place/Curfews.

And Norfolk Bob is the only to have played from 5 different decades, which is true to the spirit of the concept, IMHO. Three of the classic rock stations play ONLY 70's and 80's, which probably plays to certain crowds a bit better.

Thanks for doing this. Working from home on a company-issued laptop means I don 't bounce around the interwebs during the business day like I can when I'm in the office.

Breakdown of decades played from 3/30-4/30:



Station                                                  60s  70s  80s  90s  00s  10s  Theme

The Drive (WDRV 97.1 Chicago, IL - Classic Rock)           0   10    4    0    0    0   10
The Eagle (KTGL 92.9 Lincoln, NE - Classic Rock)           1   12    7    0    0    0    4
The Lodge (WLGE 106.9 Door County, WI - AAA)               0    5    5    6    4    0    4
The Arrow (KRSP 103.5 Salt Lake City, UT - Classic Rock)   0   12   12    0    0    0    0
The Vine (KVYN 99.3 Saint Helena, CA - AAA)                0    2    2   10    6    1    0


Only The Peak goes as far back as 1965 and 1966 — Classic Rock stations seem to only venture to 1967, 1968 or 1969 if they play the 1960s.  And those same Classic Rock stations have ventured between 1990 and 1993 if they play the 1990s.
