History

On December 31, 1994, WMGI dropped soft adult contemporary for country music as "Highway 101", but listeners reacted negatively to what turned out to be a stunt. WMGI then switched to Top 40 as "100.7 Mix FM", with Beau Richards as program director and morning co-host; the first song was "What Is Love" by Haddaway. Ratings doubled and WMGI was second to WTHI-FM. In fact, WMGI had over 70 percent of teenagers. Tom Watson consulted the change. WMGI was the first station to have Kato Kaelin as a guest, on April Fool's Day, at a time when he was still testifying in the O.J. Simpson trial.[2]

gollark: You shouldn't do that. That would possibly cause so many memory issues.
gollark: I mean, to be honest I somewhat agree, it introduces so many convoluted problems and if it wasn't for the fact that many people need Unicode to meaningfully type and such on computers I would probably not want it.
gollark: WHAT.
gollark: I mean, string length checking's `O(n)` time, isn't it?
gollark: Strings should just be byte vectors, with extra unicodey functionality and probably some invariants.
