Talking about "My Generation," we find: Dave Douglas, WAAF, "I think it's a better than average Cracker song"... Tom Marshall, WKLQ, "I like the fact that it's a real uptempo, angry rocking song. Works better for active rock"... Dick Sheetz, WDIZ, "Not my favorite Cracker track ever but it's a good record"... Greg Stevens, KIOZ, "I think it's a strong track and it will perform well in the under 25 demo"... Dana Jang, KSJO, "Great. Really hooky with a lot of good rock energy"... Vinny Marino, WAXQ, "We think it's a great song, and a real rock record"... and from Chris Payne at KZAK, "What more could you ask for from a title like that? Dave Lowrey fed up at his finest. It's a rock song and that's what we play." PANEL -APPROVED W "e.:. ° SO L®W N:.....,,vo W .i-. a..

In Hell Radio rep; ., due: Monday & Tuesday 10 AM-5PM EDT March 22 1996 THE HARD RET 3 Viacom Dios Obviously the 90 million dollar deal Viacom put together to purchase WAXO was the talk of the circuit this past week. That and how much moolah it took to get Steve Kingston to cross the street. The two best rumors regarding both pieces of news? That Chancellor had informed Kingston that they' had filled the job with KRBE's Tom Poleman prior to WXRK being a done deal, and that Viacom was seriously contemplating a call letter change to WVH-1, and simulcasting the audio feed from the channel. Wild, huh? Naturally, a change to Country is the most frequentlyspeculated format change for 104.3. Oh yeah. there's also talk this week of 91Xer Mike Halloran playing some role in the NYC mix. Logan Watch Still no official confirmation on the ongoing Dave Logan to KROR speculation. That park- ing space in the San Francisco lot is now definitely vacant with the word that former KROR PD John McCrae has signed on with Jim Leven to program WAOX/Syracuse. 12+ ARBITRONS RETURNS New Y o r N/D/J D/J/F WQHT-FM (CHR/Rhy) 5.9 5.6 WPLJ-FM (Hot AC) 3.9 3.8 WHIZ -FM (CHR/Pop) 3.7 3.5 WMXV-FM (Hot AC) 3.2 3.2 WXRK-FM (Alt)* 3.3 3.0 WYNY-FM (Country)*** 1.8 2.1 WAXQ-FM (Rock) 1.8 1.8 WNEW-FM (Adult Alt) 1.8 1.8 25-54: WCBS-FM and WRKS tied at 6.5 WSKQ (6.4) WLTW (5.4) WPLJ (5.3) WQCD (4.9) WMXV (4.3) WXRK (4.2) * Was Classic Rock until January 5 ** Switched to Spanish format on January 20 *** Switched to WKTU-FM (CHR/Rhythmic) on February 9 Los An g eles KLVE-FM (Spanish) 6.9 7.1 KPWR-FM (CHR/Rhy) 5.2 5.1 KROQ-FM (Alternative) 3.8 3.8 KIIS-NF (CHR/Pop) 3.6 3.7 KLOS -FM (Rock) 2.7 2.6 KLSX-FM (Talk/CR)* 2.1 2.1 from the debut album KSCA-FM (Adult Alt) 1.2 1.2 12+AMD: KLVE (7.4) KLSX (5.1) KFI (4.5) KPWR (4.2) KABC and KKBT great divide tied at 4.0 KITS (3.9) KNX (3.8) KLOS & KROQ tied at 3.7 * Was Classic Rock until August Chicago KDKB WBCN WFNX KRZR WGN-AM (Full Serv.) 6.5 6.5 WNUA-FM (NAC) 3.4 3.8 WDST KREV WJSE WJRR WKQX-FM (Alternative) 3.3 3.2 WXRT-FM (Adult Alt) 2.9 3.2 KLZR WOXY WCPR WRCX-FM (Rock) 3.3 2.8 WZRH WLUP-FM (Talk) 2.6 2.3 WCKG-FM (Cl.

It will be in heavy soon... Mixed audi- a lot and think that it will test well if people ence response to Stone Temple Pilots "Big Bang Baby," but just stay with it... It's early, but we're gonna I hear four other album tracks that are definitely do -able. I am move the 7 Mary 3 up. We believe in it... starting to warm up to "Big Bang," a record that obviously Bad Religion is a big testing record, #11 over- takes more than one listen... And we just love The Obvious all... Bush "Machine Head" is our #2 best "Detached." It just rules the airwaves. Very positive calls at night... testing record... Dishwalla contines to It's to early to tell, but I'm just nuts about The Verve Pipe... Just increase every week. Good early testing, too... a fun song from Cracker. I'm getting great initial calls." Joan Osborne's "Right Hand" is doing fine. It's just a matter of deciding you want to go for it... We put the KISS on because there was some inter- PD Rich Hawk/KILO Colo. Springs Bad Religion really didn't do shit... We're dayparting the est. I don't know what's going to happen with it... Smashing Cracker thing down a little bit. It may take a while for people Pumpkins "1979" is our #ltester. Huge scores also for "Zero". did a sold show week.
