A station can be a ratings dog, and won't change format if money is rolling in. See WJR

They will certainly adjust things, but it's all about revenue.

Yeah, that 1.7 must be the demo with the most $ to spend on those advertisers.

Ron also paid Jackie his highest compliment by losing her phone number (https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49112&start=10005#p710839). Ron didn't lose Jackie's number, that was the handiwork of his sticky-fingered motel maid. I'm imagining an alternative universe in which our Hazel ...

I was an avid listener of the free form FM stations in Detroit in the early 70s and never remember the MC5 being played even once. I think the only time I've heard the MC5 on the radio (besides college stations) was once in the early 80s I heard Looking at You on an AM oldies station on the other s...

Ya know, if they can’t even get airplay in their own town, maybe they don’t belong in the R&RHOF. if that Hall of Fame was based on airplay only, it wouldn't be worth anything. I guess I should have labeled my sarcasm. Sorry. My comment really had more to do with Detroit radio than the HOF. That in...

Yes, what a sad commentary on the state of local airwaves. Nobody has the balls to buck the homogenization of corporate radio. Detroit radio was once among the giants in its field. Now it is probably indistinguishable from Davenport, Topeka & Santa Fe.

Rons adopted NHL team the Edmonton Oilers are one game away from the Stanley cup finals

I feel Ron’s show this weekend would have plenty of oiler talk

And Ken Holland as a live guest to boot.

Watching the Tigers on my PC on the Roku Channel right now. If Ron had been doing an 11 a.m. Sunday show, it would have been fun to hear him and Martin try to find the channel on their studio computer, if that was possible. If they couldn't find it, the callers could give the play by play. I’m imag...

Thanks you to all those that have served in the service on the Memorial day Also with this holiday, listening to some of the sports shows on the radio today it was always a adventure when Ron’s show fell near or on a holiday Who can forget the Christmas or new year extravaganza shows or insert holi...

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know when was the last time WJR topped the ratings? I would guess it has been well over 10 years if not 20.

WJR at 1.7, perhaps an all time low. Who is fired first? I still cannot fathom how this station was able to squander its golden history and massive signal with such uncreative and lackluster programming. WJR does well. They have strong billing numbers. Many advertisers and they hold their own. Drew...

Maybe it will be a symbolic Juneteenth launch?

Anyone have an under the radar radio show they have tuned into to replace your Sportstalk listening? Show does not necessarily have to be sports themed show. I still tune into WPON every now and then to hear what there playing I enjoy the fox sports morning shows on both satuday and Sunday mornings...
