Kiss in NY may have nothing to do w/ Kiss where you are.Like hot 107.9 in ATL has nothing to do w/ Hot in NY.They are not owned by the same ppl.I used to think those were related.The Power stations aren't related either -

It's whatever. 98.9 the best anyway.

I can physically listen to hip hop on pandora or grooveshark so no. The only functional purpose of hip hop radio stations that benifits me is being able to get artist interviews. While even this is going more to online blogs and sites the radio stations have the strongest pull to get exclusive and long period interviews.

where i live kiss fm plays pop music. so unless hip hop relys on katy perry power hours mixes to live, no this will not "? hip hop"

yeah same here I was confused by this album title cause the local kiss station (Kiss95.7) plays the most pop watered down music in the area.

-

But it's all Clear Channell so it's pretty much all the same -
T/s needs to clarify that its Kiss FM in NYC not these other Kisses
-
i never heard of KISS in NY. The KISS in the bay plays contemporary music.
But yall still got Hot 97 and whats it called POWER 105? -
@turfaholic yes they are still there. And KISS FM is more known for classic r and b then hip hop

then why did t/s link it to hip hop in the title? -
In the end, Payola and lack of people buying retail CDs really killed it.

Kiss FM was the 1st hip hop station.They invented the formatTurfaholic wrote: »Black Jerry Maguire wrote: »@turfaholic yes they are still there. And KISS FM is more known for classic r and b then hip hop

I wish Kiss FM went off the air here,they only play Country Music lol
-
It dont mean ? , as long as people want it, it will be there. I think maybe just not enough good content anymore to support a station with that type of format, nowadays hip hop is seldom played on a station without pop songs right after it.
-
its was more than music, it had talk shows and news, Michael Baisden, Tom Joyner, AL Sharpton were on there etc
-
Physically?
-
Kiss was a good look. When hot 97 or power playing the same ? all day kiss came through with a well timed classic
