WPOW Radio-Power 96

Power 96 yea good station. But don’t waste your time calling in to win tickets for something. I was the automatic winner in white black Hispanic or other. They toke my information down ;phone, email, and address and they said they would call to let me know when to pick them up. Guess what they never did. When i did call and asked what happen they said the tickets were there the while time «come get them if you want them but we close in 1 hour» the lady was very rude, nasty, does not know how to speak to people. Very good way to loss audience.

Its not a bad radio station, but the morning show is awful. Listening to Lucy Lopez is like listening to someone scratch a chalkboard. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put that idiot on the radio should be taken out back and beaten mercilessly.

Whenever I hear the annoying voice of Lucy Lopez, it makes me want to smash things.

When I first moved to Miami I loved this station. Sure they played a lot of top 40 songs but the morning show was funny and the mixes kept me happy :) when laz left it became even more commercials and ‘funny’ segments. I think what really killed me is the new one ‘you should have died when you were a baby’ thats not funny, that’s bad karma bro. Now that laz is back on 106.7 I’ve been checking that out and I prefer it much more, so I guess my relationship with power 96 is over :’(maybe ill still tune in for the traffic jam but I’m glad not to have to hear that obnoxious Lucy lo anymore! No I do NOT want to go check out brandsmart off the palmetto! ;p best of luck power 96!

Que pena!
This station used to be very good, but it’s recently gone to hell – the 2^nd ring of hell to be precise. All you’ll hear is 411-​PAIN ads and that god awful Lucy Lopez screaming to you about whatever business has paid to be featured that week.
Seriously, what does it say about us South Floridians if all our commercials are about accidents, slips and falls? We need to wake up and make a change.

back in the hey days of radio… when it was local and it actually ‘mattered’, Power 96 was without a doubt in the thick of it. from being the original soundtrack of South Florida to south florida’s party station. power 96 has history, a rich musical history.
It was an instrumental force behind the dance/​freestyle movement that many latins loved back in the late 80s/​early 90s.
it had power mixers like Felix Sama, Dancing Danny B, Phil Jones, Jammin Johnny Caride, Eddie Mix, Mohammed Moretta, Diego D, Zog, and some guy named DJ Laz.
It had legendary south florida voices like Cox on the Radio, Bill Tanner, Bo Griffin, Mindy, Dimas Martinez, Little Laz, Tony the Tiger, and some guy with an annoying lisp named DJ Laz.
it was involved in a lot of scandal through the years. Particularly the infamous drug and sex charge given to head honcho Bill Tanner and morning personality G. Michael McKay. Tanner in the morning was no more after that. But despite the shenanigans, the positive outweighed the negative at Power 96.
Which comes to my 1-​star.
For a station with such a rich history, it’s no longer the soundtrack of south florida, nor is it a party station. Power 96 is now just a musical outlet for south florida’s chongas, low-​lifes, and high-​school dropouts. it’s also home to the worst show ever broadcasted hosted by some guy with an annoying lisp named DJ Laz.

My favourite us radio station,
I Love the morning show and the gag moderations.
The playlists has not enough variation, only few (20?) songs — vary more!
Plus: the global web stream did stop playing in Germany, thats Bad! (–2points)
Ps: i like Jay Stevens Show, too! (nightly)

I absolutely love this local radio station! They play the best top hits on the charts & every now & then take it back with some good old booty/​bass music.

Are people rating the actual radio station or the location? Well, either way they both average to 3 stars for me. For the actual Powere 96 location I would give it 4 stars. My husband won these tickets to game works and i 7 months later won the Family Guy TV series Season 4 I think, so I went to pick them up. It is in a small building off of 2^nd avenue anf after Ives Dairy Road. It is right after the Pollo Tropical. It is a little hood, but inside it was really nice. The male secretary that they have to greet you is kind of odd and looks like he hates being there, but was nice and polite. The actual woman who came to give me the prize was really nice and she had a nice big smile on her face.
Now, if I am rating power 96 the radio station show and not the location, well, I will give them a 2 star rating and I am being EXTREMELY nice due to the fact that I have a lot of memories as I was growing up. Now a days i cannot stand to listen to the morning show. It is too much blah and not enough jams. The whole morning crew show is so hard for me to listen to. The only good one there is DJ laz. He is ACTUALLY sort of funny and he is the only one that carries the stations ratings and listeners. All the songs are so repetative. What pisses me off is all those damm ads that the crew does. Tge «Call Jorge» I hate those. They are so stupid. They are annoying and because of all that I will be surprised if I actually stop to listen more than one song here, and that is if I get to hear a song. What ever happened to good radio?

Sabrina’s review kinda nailed it.
When they get right, then they are awesome. But then sometimes they can be just another Y100. (Which is something you don’t want to be.)
I want the dirty south. I want booty shakin.’ I want DJ Laz (The pimp with the limp) I want the station that is so Miami, it can’t be found anywhere else.

I gotta Feeling That tonight’s gonna be a Good Nite !
Power 96. Hmm. What Could I saw about you? When I was in the 7^th grade I’d stay up late at night and try my best to make a mix tape with all your love songs. In school we’d make dance routines to all your DJ Laz booty beats. My friends and I would find ourselves swearing that when we got older we would go to every party, concert and summer beach-​house party you had. But sadly those days are gone.
Every blue moon you’ll surprise me and play a throwback song. Something they’ll make me feel like I’m back in the good olé ‘90s when everything in the world was calm. If I turn you on now I know that most likely I’ll hear the same song within the hour. Why must you play out songs??? Do we really need to hear Boom Boom Pow 4 times in an hour. Is Pitbull the only artist alive? You once had a great mix of House and electronic but now all we get is a mash-​up of Britney Spears «circus» and bob Sinclair «World hold on «
What’s a girl to do? I mean y100 is at least honest about their Mostly Pop genre I think it’s time to come out the closet 96.5. Don’t claim to be Miami’s top Radio station if your going to play the same 39 sings you do every hour.
The only thing that truly keeps me happy with this station is the Christmas song they play «Mi Barrito» god that song will never get old.

Dear Power 96,
I have a love-​hate relationship with you, that’s for sure. I hate to love you and love to hate you, all that the same time.
As a little girl, I used to listen to Miami Bass and Freestyle on your station, singing along and dancing in front of my mirror. I can remember Spring Breaks past with your whole hysterical gimmick of «Have you Seen my Bikini Top?!», that had my friends and I quoting that actually, still to this day!
But as we grew (and you grew too), you changed. You added different genres of music, which is ok, but then you continued to try to be the Top 40/​popular mix, yet while still holding true to your roots…
These days you overplay most music, kill the songs that are good, blow up songs that suck, and have more commercials than I care to listen to. The morning show is funny, but can often get annoying, when Laz and Lucy-​Lo are screaming their heads off at 730am to some insane Reagetton beat…
But I still hold on to my love for you because of our past love affair.
And I will always NEED and ADORE the Booty Shake Friday Morning mix that always has my ass shaking on the way to work.
Thanks for being MIAMI, Power 96.
:) Best Wishes,
SabrinaAnna*

Power 96 is my default radio station. When I’m in the car and there’s nothing in particular I want to listen to, my radio inevitably ends up tuned to 96.5.
DJ Laz and the Morning Pimp Show often fill my car with morning talk about random stuff on my way to work. Thrown in with the occasional hip-​hop track, and it’s exactly what I need to get me going for the work-​day ahead.
Granted, if I’m in the car long enough, I’ll end up hearing the same 5 or 10 songs every hour, but hey, that’s happening on most of the stations around town.
When I’m in the car (especially on my way to and from the office), I want to listen to some good tunes and jam out in the car. Power 96 delivers, more often than not.
