John(n)y D sucks, get real. We don't need him on a 79th station

XKR's signal still pretty easily covers the populated parts of metro Toledo that matter in the ratings, though.

Thom WAS a solid broadcaster, although his man crush on Tim Tebow when calling Florida games made John Madden's worship of Brett Favre look restrained. But the Tigers don't need that distraction.

If they're genuinely trying to upgrade the broadcasts, bringing back Mario is the right move. If they're just trying to be cheap (I don't know whether it's the Tigers or Bally/Sinclair who pays the broadcasters but if it's the latter this is definitely the case), though, then it's not going to happe...

Boob and Tom followed by voicetracked Scott Miller playing the same stale songs over and over stretches my definition of "good" quite a bit but plenty in Toledo think otherwise I guess.

damn, remember when XKR beat IOT a few years ago? Now IOT's ratings almost double theirs.

Looks like Potty 103.3 doesn't subscribe either.

I'm not sure about the rest of the day but in mornings Andrew's terrible female sidekick named Renee does them, or rather butchers them. Just another attempt at being "local" that winds up sounding like pure amateur hour

just probably somebody else leaving the station because Andrew didn't pay them.

And yeah, he could go to podcast. Like them or not, and I don't, Andrew and Demitrius do have their loyal audience. But he'd probably charge for it and it would wind up another failed venture.

88.7 used to come in strong in the Toledo area and even down as far as Bowling Green Ohio, now it's scratchy just south of Monroe. It seems CIMX has been running at reduced power for sometime now or looks like it anyway. Been that way since right around when they flipped formats. 89X used to blast ...

are the Browns still being simulcast on XKR and the Ticket this year? still makes little sense to me how the Lions got kicked off the Ticket to make room for the Browns when they could have just run one team on 100.7 and the other on 94.5 but 1) it's Cumulus so the cheapest solution is the best solu...

That's a long time ago now, though. WIOT was still decent for a few years later when Grizzly was still there and playing metal at midnight. But then the bean counters, Andy Stuart, Brian Wilson, Andrew Z, etc. ruined both clusters and now Toledo radio makes North Korean state media look listenable.

it's possible they do that when this format tweak also fails to move the needle. Of course no one listens to the Ticket either except for Buckeyes and to a lesser extent Browns games anymore, but being an ESPN Radio clearinghouse damn near 24/7 now makes it cheap to run.

What's sad is the Oasis had developed a pretty loyal following in the Cincy and especially Dayton markets. In the beauty pageant 12+ numbers in Dayton, it was ahead of 92.9, 95.3, 101.5, 103.9 and perhaps others. Dayton has already lost 94.5 & 106.5 to niche programming in the past few years; now i...

OTA's been ahead of everything else for a long time now. I remember in the early 2000s it was possible to sync up football games on cable with the AM radio call without time shifting or anything, but no longer.

OTA sure as hell isn't ahead of Vegas, though. Don't get suckered.

So it's basically The River minus 80's songs. Yawn.

Speaking of Potty 103.3, that piece of shit's officially made it for a whole year hasn't it?
