Would you rather they played Ariana Grande? Personally I think it's a lovely song and that AF are quite a good band.

...are Nova supposed to play Ariana Grande?

Haven't mentioned this for a while, but if you listen to the Classic Rock stream late morning/early afternoon during the week, there is a good chance that you'll hear Colon & Loopy recording their early morning show. Two weeks ago (Monday, 11-12ish) Loopy asking Colon if he watched "Livin' with Loopy" last night. He said he did and it was a great show, so interesting etc. Err, show wasn't broadcast for another 10 hours!

Will have to dig out some of the recordings I've done from that stream. Loopy might seem like a really nice polite, chirpy person but she has a tongue that would make a sailor blush

Question:
How do we merge this thread with the (locked) thread below? I've been hoping an admin could do it for a while but no one ever thought of it.

Last Sunday, I was trying out Nova's digital stations. I had started with Classic Rock when Pat James had his Off the Record show. I got a bit bored when he was interviewing someone so I started switching around the other digital stations. I came to Radio Nova 60s shortly before midnight.

A song from the '60s (as you would expect!) was finishing. The next song came on, one that I knew quite well. It was Burn by Deep Purple. I knew it was from the 1970s, but I checked the year anyway: 1974! Not even close! I remember getting Pat James to play a Deep Purple song featuring David Coverdale a few years ago. It could have been that very song he chose, or, otherwise, Stormbringer!

I sent a post on Facebook about this error in their playlist and I also messaged them on the same platform last Monday. Last Tuesday, I e-mailed their complaints department (yes, they have one!). So far, I have not received a reply, not even an acknowledgement. What bothers me most is the prospect of someone putting together a playlist for a specific period or time, or niche, and not checking it before they put it out. I also am bothered by the possibility that someone has not got a clue what they are putting together. As I pointed out to them, Pat James would definitely not make that kind of mistake!

I had the classic rock stream on before 9 tonight - to be ready for OTR and the last-ish song they played was Fight For Your Right by The Beastie Boys. Now that def isn't Classic Rock. Maybe I should email their complaints dept too

No point in posting on their FB page - anything negative and they delete it or as in your case Declan, they just ignore it.

Would never class anything BB did as rock. But would def call it a classic, as was most of what they did. But they are hip-hop/rap and not rock and without a doubt not suited to a "classic rock" stream.

Going off on a tangent here, but I don't know about that, the classic rock genre is always expanding as the years pass.

It is definitely a "rock" song and it was released 33 years ago.

We've been calling the likes of Deep Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Hendrix etc.. "classic" rock for the last 20 years odd at this stage. Most of their hits back then were barely 20 years old.

I'm in a classic rock band and we play beastie boys

Maybe early evening after the drive time yeah. They don't do a lot to promote new rock music.

There should be a slot each day for new music. Or drop a couple in. Otherwise its the equivalent of a restaurant that never changes menu. Boring.

The Rolys Bistro of radio.

TBH I rarely listen. Mainly as a result of the stale shíte they play.

No reason to listen to Nova when there Spotify Discover Weekly and Release Radar. Also apps like Simple Radio where you can listen to whatever station you want. NTS, KUSF, WWOZ, XRAY, KEXP and so on.
