During a significant portion of the 1990′s, Chicago’s B96 offered a Dance music-heavy format focused on currents — making it one of the very few major market, full signal commercial stations in the U.S. to find success with that formula.
By the end of the decade, the station began taking a more conventional approach to its regular format, focusing on hip-hop and R&B hits. However, B96 still aired significant amounts of Dance during its mixshows. This is a sample of the rather unique Sunday evening “Street Flava” program, which featured regular programming interspersed with Dance mixes from multiple genres, hosted by guest DJs.
