The Bottom Line

If you are looking for music to get you moving, you can't go wrong with SNAP! 94.1.

Pros

  • All of the music on SNAP! 94.1 is very upbeat and energetic (both a pro and a con!).
  • The disc jockeys are cheerful and friendly.

Cons

  • All of the music on SNAP! 94.1 is very upbeat and energetic (both a pro and a con!).

Description

  • SNAP has an extra long morning show, running from 5:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. on weekdays.
  • Fans of former Buzz disc jockeys, Brad and Dana, will be happy to note that Brad Carson is now a DJ on SNAP.
  • SNAP! 94.1 is generous with fulfilling song requests -- I have requested two songs, both of which were played promptly.

Guide Review - SNAP! 94.1

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that when 94.1 The Buzz was ripped off the air without explanation, I was upset. Of the contemporary music stations in Memphis, The Buzz offered the best mix of my favorite music. Plus, I absolutely loved their all 80's weekends (am I revealing my age?). So when it was replaced by SNAP! 94.1 (a dance music station), I vowed never to listen to it.

Never say never.

I'm not generally a fan of dance music, hip hop, or other genres with heavy rhythms. I prefer rocky ballads and sappy love songs. But occasionally I like to listen to something more upbeat, especially if I'm working out, cleaning house, or driving on a beautiful day.

So on one recent morning while mopping my kitchen floor, I turned on the radio, looking for music that I could really move to. While scanning through stations, I stumbled upon Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive. What a great song! I immediately quit scanning and resumed mopping, paying no attention to what station I was listening to. Soon after, Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out of My Head came on, which kept me going with it's upbeat rhythm.

As that song came to a close, a pleasant sounding disc jockey announced that I was listening to SNAP! 94.1, "The Rhythm of Memphis." I was surprised, having been so certain that I wouldn't care for this new station. Instead, I ended up listening to it for the rest of the morning.

While I don't listen to it all the time, I do tune in to 94.1 when I need a little pick me up. I still miss The Buzz, but have come to realize that sometimes change can be a good thing.
