Re: March Nielsen numbers are out for Detroit radio

I know, I know,, corporate radio and Cumeless would never do it, but I would love for a country station that went outside the box and played only real country. That is, a format that dives deep into the independent and off-music row scene in addition to playing major label country artists. A format ...

Re: March Nielsen numbers are out for Detroit radio

In all honesty, would a sports format really do worse than what GNASH is billing and drawing ratings wise?

Re: What Will Be The Next Format Change In Detroit?

Is GNASH-FM getting ready for a format flip? Dave Fuller was moved to WDVD and now their midday host Jess is gone from the station as well. If so, what is the new station format or are we in for a rebrand?

Re: 106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here

What would happen to a station's ratings if they actually threw in album/deep cuts on a once an hour basis? What would actually happen to the ratings if a station played cuts like Dolly Dagger by Hendrix, Albatross by Fleetwood Mac, Little Girl Blue by Janis, Century City by Tom Petty, One World by ...

Re: 106.7 FAKE WHEELS is out of touch with its audience (shocking, I know)

Can someone explain to me, beyond it being just a corporate decision at the time, why IHeart is willing to bring back a heritage brand in WLLZ that wasn't on 106.7 to begin with. Yet, when Clear Channel had the chance, they refused to do the right/smart thing and bring W4 back to the station it was ...

Re: 98.7 The Breeze just ruined itself with new Fresh / RnB playlist

I think Sean Baligian would be an excellent replacement for Dave Fuller on GNASH. It is time to flip it to sports and move the Lions + Michigan State to the FM side of the dial.

Re: 98.7 The Breeze just ruined itself with new Fresh / RnB playlist

Is the Breeze going Urban AC or is Entercom's last played system screwed up? I didn't listen today but it says they played the following songs . . . Hypnotize - Notorious BIG Kiss, Kiss - Chris Brown & T-Pain Single Ladies - Beyonce 808 - Blaque Put It On Me - Ja Rule Doo Wop (That Thing) - Lauren H...

Brian "Bubba" Cowan could be a major market morning show host. Do you just leave him in Ann Arbor or move him to Detroit as a morning show host?

Re: What Will Be The Next Format Change In Detroit?

W4 has been in Ann Arbor for nearly 20 years. What would be the point in changing the call letters??? W4 was a brand in Detroit for 20 years and was around longer and sooner than Wheelz was. So there is still some brand ID with W4. Also, if they move Bubba over from Ann Arbor it will finally Cumulu...

Re: 106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here

What befuddles me about iHate is that they are willing to bring back heritage branding and calls on a dial that Wheelz and WLLZ were never not. Yet, when they tried to take on WYCD with the country format they refused to bring back W4 and WWWW-FM and instead opted for a rock station branding in the ...

Somewhere on my CPU at home I have the entire iconic WOMC Overture jingle package. I will try and upload them on Sound Cloud and share them with Motor CIty Radio Flashback.

Re: 106.7 Detroit is identical to 105.7 Columbus

Listening to this station I can't but think it is just 106.7 the Drive (as MW mentioned prior) with better on-air talent and a live + local presence all day.

Even going back and looking on Internet Archive of a prior Drive playlist seems very similar.

Re: With Podell unexpectedly moving to 106.7, who will take over PM Drive at 93.1?!?!

If they want to keep the format country why not rebrand the station and bring Bubba over from W4 in Ann Arbor to do mornings and bring in someone like a Mike Scott, Rene Vitale, Lisa Jesswin, Tom Baker to do the afternoon drive shift? 93.1 W4 Country? What the heck, you've got 106.7 Detroit's Wheels...

I've been watching the WLLZ playlist and listening on and off and haven't heard a single song by Seger.

Are the calls for this station WLLZ-FM or WDTW-FM?
