Re: Real Oldies / WGVU is going away in January

1480AM was All-American News/Talk 1480 WMAX in 1991. They ran the audio portion of CNN Headline News' old 24-hour news format back then. They would cut to local West Michigan news just before top and bottom of the hour. Dave Stanley was manager and Roger Munyon, Terry DeBoer (Grand Rapids Press), Ja...

Re: H*** Show & Michigan Sports Network to 96.1 FM

Is this an admission by iHeart MM Tim Feagan that he screwed up by scrubbing the afternoon sports show that used to air on 96.1? Looks like Cumulus has scrapped almost all of its talk content in Grand Rapids now. WBBL used to be the local sports go-to for decades. And they dumped the news-talk stati...

Re: Anyone Remember This Restaurant In Grand Rapids?

Woolworth's was torn down in 1979 at the southwest corner of Monroe and Pearl. Herpolsheimer's was not demolished. Wurzburg's was demolished in 1969, where the Grand Rapids Art Museum is now.

Re: On Screen Faces Departing FOX 17

It was a happy go lucky atmosphere a couple years back. People brought their dogs to work. The insurance was great (Blue Cross-Illinois), news was being broke like never before and a couple of the sour pusses like Christian Frank had left the building. Then Scripps came in and jammed all kinds of re...

Re: JIM PRICE STINKS !!!

He usually only played in the second game of doubleheaders, so Freehan could get a rest behind the plate.

Re: We live in fame or go down in flame................

1340 AM struggled in the 2000s with Bret Bakita, but (name removed by request) developed a strong niche sports following on his afternoon show. Then the station went to a talk format around 2009. It wasn't very good although the local news was the best in the state for a number of years until the en...

Re: 7 Adds Darren Cunningham As A Reporter

Darren usually does a great job. He seems uncomfortable in Detroit like he has to prove himself. He was at 17 in Grand Rapids for so long and he was much better there. Not that it matters for reporting sake but he is a very nice and humble guy.

Re: WOW FM?

Clete Dumpster did sports and he was funny, but his reports were light on content (that was one area where 'JR and J were blowing WOW away). Clete died a few years back, as did News Director Bob Schuman. Steve Monkevich was the overnight announcer. Mark Elliott was midday, Dr. Don Carpenter in the a...
