Wild 949

This station is awesome I love the jv show and I like there music the only thing is they should play a little more rap it to many pop and rocks songs I love the weekend mixes.

Ok so I wasn’t going to post a review but yes I am still upset about the wrestle mania tickets. I won them on the Chino show and I was so happy because I was going to take my son for his birthday and it just so happen to be in his birthday. They got my info and called me a couple of weeks after to tell me they haven’t received the tickets yet and as soon as they get them they will let me know. A month or so went by and they called again and said not to worry and they will again let me know when they got the tickets. Well that was the last I heard of them. I waited and called a couple times and they gave me a number to call but nobody ever called me back. Finally the day came so I tell my son to get ready and went to will call hoping they would have left them there, but of course they didn’t. So we went home in disappointment and the next day I call the station and promotion dept and they tell me that they have my tickets. WOW!!! A little too late don’t you think? I am a long time listener and to keep it real I am disappointed that they ask you to come out to their event and then act like you don’t exist. I might just switch stations! THANKS 94.9!!!

I listen to this station a lot and I’m not complaining about the music. But about a month ago I finally won tickets to Great America’s Halloween Haunt Fest after trying to win something for months… maybe years. I almost gave up hope that I would ever win but I was finally caller 94! They took my information (the person that took my info was extremely rude) then they said they would be in touch with me shortly. After waiting weeks for a phone call I decided to call about the tickets. I was again told they would get back to me shortly. I tried one more time… again they said they’d get back to me. In the end I tried multiple times and never received my tickets. Very disappointed.

I live in the Bay Area, and listen to this station regularly. If you’re reading this, this post is not about their music played on the radio.
So I’m not really thrilled about writing this review, but here goes. A couple of months ago I heard they were giving away concert tickets to One Republic & The Script. I was on my lunch break from work and decided to call in. I’ve never won anything before, but hey, you can’t win if you don’t play.
To my surprise I was caller 94. You can imagine my surprise as she said I’m the winner, I was stoked to even be on the radio period!
The girl on the phone couldn’t give me any info about the concert other than someone would be contacting me a month before the concert to discuss where to pick the tickets up etc. Extremely excited to find out where I’d be sitting I couldn’t wait for the call. I was contacted by a 415# while at work about a month later and decided to answer my phone. It was 949 but again didn’t have any further info for me…
As I waited patiently for my up and coming free tickets, it was now the week of the concert and I still had heard nothing. I decided to go to their website to contact them directly as I hoped it wasn’t a scam. The next day a guy called, wasn’t very professional might I add, but told me where I could pick up the tickets. Still no idea where I’m sitting.
Anticipation was killing me. So I continued to wait. I emailed again, this time a response from Jenna! Very nice and professional, she told me where to pick up the tickets and said I’d have to bring my ID and fill out a W9… Looks like ILL be the one paying taxes for the free tickets but ok… I’ve heard this already, but kindly thanked her for the heads up. Told me I had until the day of the concert to pick the tickets up, they close at 530pm. Thursday rolls around, concert was Saturday, I decided to email Jenna and told her my friends were attending too and asked if she could tell me where I was sitting so I could tell my friends to get tickets near us.
She emailed back right away with «They are lawn seats! Thanks!»
Great…: /​I’ve waited this whole time for lawn seats? If I would’ve known that, I would’ve purchased closer seats on my own. No thanks on the lawn, maybe I should be a bit more grateful, but c’mon! Radio stations usually give away better seats than 30 $ lawn tickets.
So… I decided to pass on these. Fiancé surprised me with 18 rows from the stage and we had a great time. So jokes on you guys! Heads up to future callers, the people who keep you informed are unprofessional, somewhat incompetent and string you along for tickets that YOU will be paying taxes on.
I’ll try to be the lucky concert winner elsewhere. Ps: they aired my excited «OMG thank you so much!» conversation for 2.2 seconds. Kinda bummed me out.

In this day and age, with the amount of various musical styles, bands and trends accessible via the Internet, I think it takes an incredible amount of effort for a well-​funded music station to ignore all that and be as consistently boring, predictable and monotonous as the hilariously named «Wild 949″. There is nothing remotely“wild» about Wild 949. And there is more numerical variety in the digits making up «949» than song variety you’ll hear there. My daughter and I have a game where we have a contest to see who can predict the song playing on the station before we go there. (I always guess «Dark Horse» by Katy Perry, since the odds of winning are high due to them playing the song 4 times in any given 60 minutes. My daughter wins sometimes though because she guesses «Monster» by Eminem/​Rihanna, which is played the remainder of those 60 minutes, minus the plethora of commercials). In fact, the only variety this station has is in its commercials; sometimes I hear one I haven’t heard before. My advice is to create your own commercial-​free «Wild 949» experience at home by simply spending $ 5 on iTunes and you can make a longer playlist than the folks at the station have ever dreamed of.

MORE MUSIC VARIETY PLEASE!!!
I’m tired of hearing «Who Booty» and «Thrift Shop» 50,000 times nonstop.
The morning show is decent but it isn’t what it used to be. Carmen prank calls are pretty funny though.
The weekend mixes are great and is the only reason I still listen.

They fell the hell off and turned into a fist pumping station. Hardly any variety. This station is garbage nothing but techno pop non stop. Makes my ears bleed. The morning show not enough talking too much of the same trash music. I miss the dog house days.

i dont even listen to 949 anymore

I like this radio station, however, it’s not the one I love. They aren’t as good as 99.7 NOW! Get some good songs in there!

I LOVE JV & CHRISTIE (or Crisco) IN THE MORNINGS. I always podcast the show because I can never listen to it due to school. :(
They always manage to keep me entertained & I do like the music they play :)

I like the Noon mix…
