boom 97.3 Playlist Analyzed

radio

As promised, EZ Rock is now Boom 97.3, playing "Toronto's Greatest Hits".  Humble and Colleen are still doing mornings, Maie Pauts takes it from there and KJ still takes you home.

Yes, that ad does start with the song that's absolutely everywhere, the same song they played right after flipping formats.  Here are the first twenty songs played on the new boom 97.3.

It's really a great improvement over the playlist for the old EZ Rock.  Sure, I could do without that Neville Brothers tune but we got Martha and the Muffins, the Clash, Max Webster, Spirit of the West and they just played the B-52s.  It's definitely classic hits with a strong focus on the 80s and a little 70s and 90s on the side.

Sample boom 97.3 for yourself at http://cjez.player.myastralmediaradio.com/ and let me know what you think of the new format in the comments.  It might not be exactly what we're looking for, but it's a great improvement.
