I was sorry to hear about Aris and he certainly was a legendary music radio host. If you were in the Grand Rapids area
during 1971 Aris with his band Phlegathon had the number one hit with their song "Last Voyage Home".

I was not aware of him, but obviously somebody that contributed a great deal to the radio hobbyists community, thanks for posting.

Re: Another victim of Clownsquare budget cuts...

Why does anyone work in Radio anymore??? And who listens to terrestrial radio.... SiriusXM has no commercials..... Well, BirdieKingBobo, for a lot of us that have been in this business for many years, it's all we really know, and would just as soon "stick it out" instead of making a career change a...

Here's something to ponder:
How many listeners to 105.7 FM are writing "WOOD-FM" or "105.7 WOOD-FM" in their diaries?
I think WSRW has been branding itself as "Star 105.7" for long enough that that would not be a factor.

Re: Latest Nielsen Audio numbers

I noticed that B-93 beat out WCSG and is number one in the market once again. What is really strange is that their pseudo competition "Blunder Country" jumped to a 2% share while not taking anything away from B-93. While that station is always the bottom feeder for Cumulus in G.R. both I-Heart and ...

There's a TOH WJR ID from the '80s on Youtube, I think it includes what you are referring to.

Re: Anyone Have a Chevy Equinox?

I had a 2010 Equinox (purchased new), it was a bit of a lemon. Wheel bearings needed early replacement, there was a throttle mechanism issue that had to be fixed (under warranty), had a recall for excessive oil consumption (they had to replace much of the engine internals), the heater core needed re...

I remember passing a joint around in the back of my friends Chevelle back in '77 while Beggar's Day played on the 8-track, just blown away by Dan McCafferty's voice. RIP.

Thoughts and prayers.

Agree, as if Turkeytop is actually thinking and praying about Aaron Carter. This probably replaces his earlier (predictable) "Who" response for posts like this.

As previously noted here, MacOS (or OSX) is based on Unix, not Linux, however. Linux is very much like Unix, without all the legal and licensing ($$$)
rigamarole. Probably why Google chose it as the basis for Android.
Thank you for the clarification!
