Party 93.1 has switch from Dance to a Rock format

[TigerClaw]

Today is a sad day for all of us, As of today, Party 93.1, South Florida's only dance music station, Has changed to an all rock format, Heres the info that was posted by Buster, Who worked at 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.

This is a huge blow for the EDM industry, Not only that, The future of the Global DJ Broadcast is uncertain, However, a press release regarding this matter will be posted on www.globaldjbroadcast.com sometime durring the week.

Fuck. I didn't particularly care for most of the stuff they played on that station, but I always made it a point to tune into GDJB. That sucks TC. Send our regards to Markus. Hopefully something will come up soon.

Man that suks. The cheesy ass music that they played cracked me up all the time. They called their DJs "Party Mixologists". How fucking lame is that!!!

aside from the gdjb all that station played was crap... everytime i went to miami i would hear the same songs... i can only hear the mr. smiths remix of hide u so many times..... then again when you turned on the radio and tuned to 93.1, you knew you were in miami

Re: Party 93.1 has switch from Dance to a Rock format

WOW. Normally EDM is replaced with Hip Hop, RnB or just general Radio compatible Pop music but replacing it with Rock music is a new level. I hope Global DJ broadcast finds a new host soon as this show is up there since a long time and definately one of the biggest and most known EDM shows ever. Keep the Faith.

never listened to it except for gdjb but this is no good sign and the fact they're switching to rock is a bit strange... I don't think there's a much bigger audience there, if they had needed money they would have switched to pop
