I loved that station, every time I was in Miami, my radio was locked on 93.1fm. There is something shady about this, because Party 93.1 was indeed extremely popular. It was the face of Miami. Knowing that dance music was always hard to find in US, I am not surpised too. Dance music in US ever since the 80's had a stigma of being gay and foreign, and therefore scared a lot of suburban disciplined Americans. Especially after AIDS crisis. Remember the dance viriety in the early 90's, dead is the word. Dance music is very obscure in this country unless you are in the gay community, but even that is fading out. I think corporations don't even have a chart for this(dance) kind of music. For them it is 'Techno,' a term that worldwide rather represents an industrial gothic beat. It is too complicated for them.
Hey, just keep on supporting the dance scene every way you can. Miami has always been a dance capital, don't let it go away! Don't let some stinky classless rock, or tuneless R&B to take away your style. Let corporations, the city, and local leaders know how you feel. Here in Seattle we got city's school district to run our dance radio station along with donations from listeners to keep it on the air, the demand is too big because people are still paying. Though it is ran by students, it even has more viriety than Miami's passed Party 93, which was not so bad anyway. Check it out, there is a live playlist www.c895fm.com And C89.5 is still the most popular radio staion in the city for more than 10 years!
Miami without Party 93?! That's very sad news. Really depressin
