#NewHitsFirst - HitBound Radio

What is HitBound Radio?

It all started back in 1984 when Mark Ramsey and I were working on an MBA consulting project with 98PXY in Rochester, New York. I got to know Program Director, Tom Mitchell (formerly of 93Q Syracuse) and, beyond the project work, started suggesting new songs for his playlist.

One day, I suggested branding new songs as "HitBound" - Tom loved the idea, had a jingle made by JAM Creative Productions, and it became part of the station's identity.

Fast-Forward: 14 years ago, inspired by that experience (and trying to "pick the hits" early for my kids), I built HitBound Radio with my own purchased JAM jingles - but instead of using music scheduling software, I created my own detailed rotation system via a custom-built spreadsheet. "HitBound Radio" was born.

I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to send us your suggestions and comments at info@hitboundradio.com.

What makes HitBound Radio different:

Rather than recycling the top few songs every 90 minutes like most Top 40 stations, we flip the format upside down.

Every day we debut a brand new song - our "HitBound Debut" - which plays once an hour for 24 hours.

After that, it shifts to an every-90-minute rotation for three days, then gradually slows down in the rotation. This keeps the station feeling fresh and discovery focused.
