Re: Deltaplex Permanenty Closing in July 2022
The “loving and accepting” sour lefties ruined this entire board. Seriously, trump is not in office and he still lives rent free in your sorry ass minds almost 2 years later. Someone is losing their business and it’s ok, because he is a conservative… do you not see how shitty that is? Your hearts a...

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
the cumulus format was a pile of shit too. we got a look at it, and changed it as soon as they left town. I remember tuning into WMRR in early '98 (under Goodrich ownership still) and hearing the canned satellite programming from either ABC or Westwood One. I couldn't believe my ears. You're absolut...

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
I'm pretty sure Sean Stevens was the PD. He spent a decent chunk of time at WGRD in the 70's & early 80s, and until recently, was heard on 106.5 WVFM in Kalamazoo for many years. At WJFM, it wouldn't surprise me if he started when the station briefly flirted with Top 40. I would love to hear airche...

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
everyone's all trying to figure out why the formats suck? no shit? could it have anything to do with bankers running the business?

Re: Looks like the Orbit Room is finally toast; share your memories here!
yes, southside was the next step for jimmy after club eastbrook Hey Andy, When you describe "Jimmy P" I think of our friend at Southside Jimmys on Burton at Breton. Same one? I did not know he was part of the Orbit Room. I knew Don quite well at OR, but with Light Rock, well, not so much promotion! ...

What's the Hold Up?
I see everyone lamenting the loss of the oldies channel, and the over all shrinkage of our business. I wonder though, how many have just sat down and built their own answer to the problem? Not that hard to do and there seem to be plenty of people out there to make it work. I will tell you, it's a bi...

Re: Jackie Green - Mrs. America
sorely disappointed in the lack of the most basic courtesy in honoring an achievement. if any of you are in fact in radio, it's proof that all that's left are cannibals and watching you eat your kin while a few try to remain above the fray is the death null. continue to revel in your misery. i thoug...

Jackie Green - Mrs. America
As part of the old farts club now, I take great pride in watching some of the folks who came along a little later than me, including Jackie. I don't think there's anything she can't do and last night, she was crowned Mrs. America. Congrats to her!

Re: Changing of the Guard at WZZM
be realistic. life is turning to shit at these places and the seasoned pros lives are being made impossible to cut salaries and eventually consolidate "local news" in to regional hubs like chicago and detroit. hey, the model worked for radio and tv in the stock holders eyes.
