Go Skins Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 http://www.mercurynews.com/entertainment/ci_25350412/bay-area-radio-station-playing-hot-herre-by Apparently Latino Mix, 105.7 can't get enough of playing Nelly's hit song Hot in Herre. The radio station started playing the song Friday afternoon and hasn't stopped. It quickly became a hot topic on Twitter with the hashtag #Nelly1057. According to reports, the stunt is to mark the end of Latino Mix and the new launch of Hot 105.7. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/why-is-a-radio-station-playing-hot-in-herre-on-an-endless-loop-20140315 For more than 20 hours now, San Francisco radio station KVVF 105.7 has been playing one song, and one song only. Starting at 3 p.m. on Friday, the station has devoted all its air time to an endless loop of Nelly's "Hot in Herre." As the loop stretched on into the night, speculation bubbled up on Twitter under the hastag #Nelly1057, with some listeners wondering if the station was experiencing technical trouble, if a DJ had just quit or even if the broadcast had been hijacked. But an answer to the mystery has emerged. According to RadioInsight, the Nelly loop was unleashed to herald a relaunch of the station. Univision-owned Latino Mix 105.7 is switching formats to an English-language contemporary rhythmic brand, Hot 105.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I remember when 96 Rock in CIncy went to country and played Garth Brooks' "The River" on a loop like that for days. Made me hate that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 We had a station when I lived in Lynchburgh VA play Cotton Eyed Joe for 4 hours straight when the station's DJ for that time slot started his first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Wow. And I thought hearing Thriller 6 times in 8 hours on Q102 while I was home from school was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MULLY Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Fuck, remember back in the mid 80's I think it was Q102 that played Billy Squire over the course of an entire weekend. MULLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK-v_YndGn4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
