Yawn.

Does anyone remember the wood fired transmitter skit that Ron and Merlin Dumbrille did years ago? And then they did a "clean coal" skit along the same lines. I'd love to hear the clean coal skit one last time before Ron retires.

Yes he is! Not sure what will happen to his show after Ron and Colleen retire, though.

Those are big shoes to fill.

I'm a little surprised they've stayed on the air this long.

I also agree that EAS alerts are still quite relevant. I don't always have my cell phone anywhere near me. Usually, its turned off and in my car. During the tornado Friday, I was listening to WMKC. They had cut-ins as the severe thunderstorm warnings came in but I never heard a tornado watch or ...

Thanks! I'll have to rescan.

Thanks for the detail and research!

Came across an LPTV construction permit for W31FA-D, channel 31, for a tower in Harbor Springs: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/draftCopy.html?displayType=html&appKey=25076f9178b37ea70178c6df4d9e0f37&id=25076f9178b37ea70178c6df4d9e0f37&goBack=N There's also an application for ...

I tuned in last night for a bit. They ID'd as WHAK, WJML, and WJNL "Up North Sports Radio". So yes, I'd say they have switched to their sports format. No mention of WGRY, though. I guess they're doing their own sports format and not simulcasting WGRY. Also, they did not carry the Tigers game last ...

I did notice that 1110 was only rebroadcasting WGRY during Tigers games. I've also noticed 1110 goes silent now and then. As unreliable as they are, I can't imagine they have many regular listeners.

Not sure how long this has been going on, but 1110 has been simulcasting WGRY-FM the last few times I've tuned in. Is it possible 1110 boosted their power, too? I normally don't get 1110 very well in East Jordan (even though I should) but this weekend it was coming in quite strong.

Really really loving the new station.I'm probably in the minority,but I like the sound of this being on an a AM station. One change i would like,a little higher percentage of 90s tunes including some of those that weren't necessarily chart toppers. I agree. Been listening to it off and on and am ...

Yes, that's what they are doing! I get the reasoning behind the "WTCM" branding, but that does seem a bit confusing when their legal ID is still WCCW.

Still the same lo-fi music today.
