I remember the TV show they had. Didn't they move the whole station to Atlanta?
Yea they had a tv show that played music videos every Saturday. Idk if the whole station moved but I remember one of the main DJs Frank Ski moved to Atlanta. I actually didn’t even know that till I went to ATL back in like 2003 and saw him on a billboard. Frank Ski was a local celebrity and was a big player in the club scene. He was responsible for this



One of my aunts actually briefly dated him when I was real young. They met when she won the sexy leg contest he was hosting at a club
:heh:

Frank is actually from Queens and was an old school Rap DJ hence his name. I remember they played that song in Baltimore a lot during B-more's old club music era.

The station in Baltimore was called V103 and the station in Atlanta was called V103. so that's why I assumed they just moved the station.

I coulda swore he had the morning show on 92Q for a while after V103. But I can’t remember if this was after V103 folded or he left before it folded

Yeah I don't remember because when V103 left I was young I watched the video show on Channel 45 by the time I started listening to 92Q V103 was long gone.

Low key I kinda liked 92Q's slow jam segment Love Zone way better than the orginator Slow Jam on WHUR

I was never into House but I do remember 88.9 playing House on Saturday nites. Saturday afternoon it was reggae. Oldies in the morning. The hip hop show would have their anniversary show every spring and take over for 24 hours

I never went to the Dox on Saturdays but Fridays I went often becuz it was 18 and up. But doors didn’t open til midnight. They also would have hs nights on holidays where there was no school the next day. Easter Sundays were legendary
:heh:

Yea breh the video show on Channel 45. It came on after Kung Fu Theater and before WWF Superstars
:dead:

This thread is taking me back. And yea the Love Zone was dope. That chick LaDawn Black would have people calling in on the craziest topics like “guys call in if you ever let a woman toss your salad”. Then play a Monica slow jam
:heh:

95.9 had the Quiet Fire with Lolo. Matter fact my parents kept a clock radio in the kitchen that they never turned off that played 95.9 24/7 at a very low volume. Only time the radio went off is when the power went out

96.3 had the original Quiet Storm but they played the same songs every nite. I remember they always played the Smokey Robinson song. 95.5 had a show hosted by that dude Adeemu. I think he ended up on BET. Actually I can remember when Big Tigger was on 95.5

That was the thing they played the same damn songs. It was like Melvin Lindsey was still making the playlists.

93. was better but yeah La Dawn's show was better, I tuned in for that and I kinda would listen to their club music mix show while on my way to the club.


The fact that music and culture is so homegenous now is crazy. in the 90's you'd hear Go Go on DC's radio and Club music on Baltimore's radio now it's Drake Drake & Drake on all Black (and some white) radio.

Do you mean House or Club music?

Because y'all could never live down the gay dude. I was a born brooklynite too from Harlem to get into Throw ya guns up. In fact talking to an Baltimore YN I told him there was a song called Throw ya guns up that wasn't about guns at all.

I was into house but some of y'all weird remixes was ok. I remember hearing tha Club music Sesame street song in a hood club in Philly.
