November 9 update: Due to app errors, I have disabled the Tapatalk plug-in. As such, the Buzzboard is currently unavailable in Tapatalk. I am trying to do a clean reinstall, but each reinstall attempt is generating database errors. I am hopeful that the issue will be able to be resolved in the next few days.

Thank you for your patience!

Didn't Star 105.7 use the branding "Music Women Love" a number of years ago? I remember seeing that phrase on their website at least if not on the air.
There was also a syndicated Easy Listening/MOR format in the '70s known as "Music Only for a Woman." Not sure if any stations in this area used it, but it was used in New York (to no success) and there's some discussion about it here:

I wonder if this rebrand was at least in part influenced by ABC's recent rebrand/refresh, which dictates that the network logo should be at least 60% of the side of the channel number.

(There's a whole-ass thread about it here: https://forums.tvnewstalk.net/topic/183 ... -stations/)

I wonder how long before WZZM responds with a more ABC-prominent identity.

Since they are a Battle Creek station, how about 'Have WOTV 4 Breakfast'.
