Buzz FM - 102.4 FM - The Rhythm Of The City

More information about Buzz FM 102.4 will appear here shortly!!

News Updates

21 January 2010: In the last month, populated details of tracks played on Buzz in 1990 - 1992. Still lots more to fill in. Read an interesting post on Digital Spy by Andy Carlton in which he remembers hearing:
'Mariah Carey' - 'Someday'.
'Seal' - 'The Beginning'
'49ers' - Girl To Girl'
'Al Jarreau' - 'Mornin' (Andy comments that this was a great late night/early morning track). Personally, I remember a fair amount of their "Buzz Trax" overnight material, so this was probably in there. Will add to the music tables below.
'Ronni Simon' - Take You There (Andy comments that this was played frequently through the autumn and Christmas period up until they closed down on the 31/12/94.)

10 March 2008: Former Buzz FM owner Chris Cary has died whilst on holiday in Tenerife. He was 61 years old. Chris is best known for launching pirate station Radio Nova in Dublin in 1981. He later worked on Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg. He famously purchased Buzz FM for a nominal sum of £1 (plus the takeover of it's debts) in late 1992. He attempted to broaden Buzz FM's appeal by playing more pop orientated hits to compete with Radio 1 and BRMB (of which many big-name DJ's were poached). However, Buzz FM's debts continued to mount and in November 1993 Chris arrived at the Jewelry Quarter studios unannounced with large removal trucks and shutdown the station that very afternoon. The station was later sold to Muff Murfin. For more on Chris see Chris Cary Homepage.

History

Buzz FM began broadcasting to Birmingham on 102.4 FM at 8am on Monday 14th May 1990. It would go on to broadcast for over 4 and a half years, before finally signing off and giving way to Choice FM on January 1, 1995.

Broadcast Area

Buzz FM broadcast from Metropolitan House at Five Ways in Edgbaston to over 1.1 million listeners. The following is the official area which was published, although it was possible to pick up the signal outside of the one shown on the map.

The sound of Buzz FM

Buzz FM went through several styles as the management and ownership changed. Perhaps each of these era's are best compared using the station tag lines that were in use at that time:
Launch: Buzz FM The Spirit Of Birmingham
Late 1990: The Rhythm Of The City
1992: The Best Music Mix
1994: Where The Music Never Stops

Elisa Fiorillo	On The Way Up	I Am	Crysallis F2 21678	Album released August 21, 1990	August 1990	This single was released in the US and UK (in the US as DPRO 23599). It reached 27 in the US Charts, but failed to make an impact in the UK. An uptempo pop/dance track which was a "typical" Buzz song in the early days - a track not picked up by UK stations, but was fairly popular over in the US

The Mac Band	Love U 2 The Limit	Love U 2 The Limit	MCA Records MCAD-10059	Aug 27, 1990	August 1990	Released in the US on MCA records as promo CD CD45-1146. A definitive soul track from 1990, played many times on Buzz including during the day (I specifically remember hearing it during the "drivetime" show). Not a mainstream track in any way (it didn't get released in the UK) but it was great to hear this kind of material on the airwaves
Pebbles	Giving You The Benefit	Always	MCA Records MCAD-10025	August 21, 1990	August 1990	Another soul and dance track with cross-over appeal that wasn't getting airplay on other UK stations, despite the fact that the track reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent three weeks at number-one on the US R&B chart
Mariah Carey	Love Takes Time	Mariah Carey	Columbia Records CK-45202	September 11, 1990	September 1990 onwards	Another example of Buzz taking the lead with an "unknown" artist. Mariah was still relatively unknown at this time and this track went to number one in the US, but only managed 37 in the UK Singles Chart.
Hi-Five	I Like The Way (The Kissing Game)	Hi-Five	Jive Records	Album Released September 25, 1990. Single Released January 11, 1991	September 1990
The Jets	Special Kinda Love	The Best Of The Jets	MCA Records MCAD-10064	Single Released September 28, 1990. Album Released November 13, 1990	September 1990	Another "typical" Buzz track - a soul/pop/dance track that was very radio friendly but yet not picked up by other UK stations.
Twenty 4 Seven	I Can't Stand It	Street Moves		September 1990	September 1990
Kiara	Take My Time	Civilized Rogue		August 13, 1990	September 1990	Second single from Civilized Rogue
Cathy Dennis	Just Another Dream	Move To This	Polydor Records	Album released July 29, 1990. Single released October 2, 1990	September 1990	"Just Another Dream" was originally released in 1989. It was re-released twice, first in 1990, and again in 1991. Again, Buzz picked this up and ran with it first time round. A successful song as shown by it making number 9 in the US. However, it only reached 95 in the UK, and so was re-released a year later.
