Re: FM DX e-skip 5/31/23

I’ve been getting a lot of FL stations up here in Benzie County by Crystal Lake (since 10:30 in the morning or so), and a couple TX stations made their way to my radio as well. Been a hot minute since I’ve caught one of these openings!

Re: WLDR-FM

I’m out by Crystal Lake right now and Memories FM is mysteriously operating on 100.9 FM... strange. They’re also on 100.1, 99.3 and 92.3 as usual, and I couldn’t get WLDR since (last I checked anyway) they’re running at low power closer to my Traverse City home.

WGKI/WGKU footage found at last!

Today I was at a thrift store in Honor and found a sold-as-blank VHS tape. I brought it home and to my surprise... whoever recorded the tape left it on Fox 33 (back in the Gary Knapp era) THE WHOLE TIME. The whole 8 hours. The tape is from around 1994, and I'll be uploading commercial breaks from th...

Re: Smitty

There's no reason to turn KLT completely upside down. Very gradual evolution of the playlist over time is what needs to occur (a strategy the station might already be utilizing; I don't listen often enough to know). From the few times I’ve listened recently, I’ve heard Nickelback among other slight...

Re: Christmas music 2020

Looks like 107.9 WCDY has the Xmas music going as well... as is the usual.

106.7 on the air?

Casually scanning the radio when I found 106.7 airing what sounds like lo-fi music... no ID so far. I’ll let you guys know of any new developments as I listen. Edit: At around 12:00 PM, I heard a quiet “this is WSRT Gaylord”, confirming that this is indeed the station and not a neighborhood Part 15 ...

Re: What Does the Fox Say? Goodbye...

Just turned on my radio to find 94.3 playing classical music... looks like they’ve made the transition to public radio.

Old School Local TV Megathread

If anyone’s got some cool vintage local TV stuff they found or would like to show off, post it here! I just found this composite ad break from TV 29&8 from 1985 - although you might want to skim through a fair bit of the video to find the local stuff: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ambEM2unLFI I also...

Re: N. Michigan 2012 Format Questions

As far as I know, 101.9 was known as "Sunny Country 101.9" rather than simply "Sunny 101.9", which was what they went by in their AC days. And I believe around 2012, 98.1/107.1 and 94.5/93.9 were their own simulcasts when it came to The Bear. Don't really know if 94.5 simulcasted 93.9 or the other w...

Fox 33 Newscast

The guys on NewsActive3 posted an old Fox 33 newscast from 2007, and based on the looks of it, this was before Heritage Broadcasting picked them up.
