Untitled[edit]

I was thinking of putting in a new section, but wanted feedback before I just threw it in there. Here it is:

Comment: I like it! My only suggestion would maybe clear up the background around the stunt.Cuba46 (talk) 23:52, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stunt's[edit]

On September 12, 2006 at 7:00 am, WIHT changed it's entire format to consist of only Justin Timberlake song's. The station went by the name "Justin 99.5" instead of the usual "Hot 99.5". The website was even changed to coincide with this the theme. You could access Hot995.com through the domain Justin995.com, and while keeping it's original layout, the entire site was altered in some way to continue the Justin theme.

In the day's leading up to the stunt, WIHT ran ads from it general manager Jeff Kapugi implying that recent change's to the station would be restored, using the term "...we bring them back.", as if to say that recently terminated personality's would once again work for the station. On September 12th we learn the spot's were a tease, and that "...we bring them back." is a take from the Timberlake song SexyBack.

WIHT switched back to it's CHR format at 12:00am on September 13, 2006.

Fair use rationale for File:Hot995logonew.PNG[edit]

File:Hot995logonew.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Classical Music Format?[edit]

No. The WGAY/WQMR FM/AM pair of the 1960s and 1970s was never strictly speaking running a classical music format. Yes, it played some light classical pieces like the Ritual Fire Dance by Manuel de Falla. But mostly it played Frank Chacksfield, Percy Faith, Mantovani, The Gunter Kallmann Chorus, Norrie Paramor, Acker Bilk, Angela Morley, Warren Barker, The Living Strings, Frank Sinatra, Nelson Riddle, and so on and so forth. At the time it was called "Beautiful Music." Detractors call it elevator music, a term which equates what they were doing at the pair with Muzak, which was considerably different . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.156.231.164 (talk) 08:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on WIHT. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
