Re: WZPX (ION) files app to move closer to Grand Rapids

It’s similar to what WPXD did when they moved to Southfield. Ann Arbor is in the city grade, but barely. Looks like Battle Creek is covered with a little more leeway, but not nearly what it is now. Is WZPX still must carry in the Lansing market due to the current tower location? If so, they will los...

Re: Most versatile radio pop/rock song

WRIF also played The Bee Gees in their late 70s comeback heyday. Does that make them classic rock?

Elton John belongs on a classic hits or oldies or soft station, not a rock format.

Re: Cool FM 95.1 and 100.7

That playlist is clearly indicating more of a classic rock direction. Will be interesting to see how long it lasts.

Still don’t get why any Elton John would be played on a classic rock station.

Valenti. It was stale 10 years ago.

Re: WPON Update - 2019

Is WPON on right now? There’s no trace of it in Dearborn or Canton. Perhaps it is too far away.

I can get a scratchy WCXI.

Re: WPON Update - 2019

How much is industrial land worth in Garden City anyhow? It’s an OK area, but not exactly booming.

1160 will have almost no night power. Actually, 1460 won’t either.

Re: Sam Webb and WTKA 1050 (Ann Arbor)

Of course he is. The whole lineup is Michigan centric and I rarely hear any criticism from any of the hosts.

Harbaugh should have been fired after last year. No excuses.

Re: WPON Update - 2019

It wouldn’t be another sports feed- just moving 1090s format to 1160. 1090 could be leased out I am sure- someone did it last year with a rap format. Only lasted one month because there was virtually no revenue. A classic country format would likely do better, but would still take work to make money.

Re: WPON Update - 2019

1160 could go back to classic country. Another option is to move the sports format there, and put classic country on 1090.

Re: WPAY

Some translators are permanently linked to the AM station, meaning it cannot operate if the AM is disconnected. If this is the case with WSPD, then they wouldn’t sell 1370 without the translator. If both are included, the price is way too low.

It has to be 1520.

Re: Bell wants to shut down more CTV transmitters

I remember reading Windsor had one of the highest OTA viewship numbers in the country, probably because of Detroit and Toledo. If memory serves, Windsor carries all of the Detroit stations except WADL and WPXD. Not sure if they carry the Toledo stations. I can’t remember if Sarnia carries WMYD and W...

Re: Comcast and NBC in Detroit

I don’t live in the city but I have friends who do. It’s still a mess. The population is still falling. Eventually it has to slow down- even St. Louis which has Detroit like percentage losses has slowed.
