Bad idea. Classic country to succeed generally needs to be 90s & 00s focused. WYCD plays material from that era where & when it makes sense to do so. WYCD is a top 5 biller among FM stations in the market, and that was before P-U Country 93.1 went away. Why risk cannibalizing that? In places like A...

As an avid CHR/AC listener at the time, I thought Toledo's stations in those formats easily beat the socks off their Detroit counterparts. I used to DX WVKS and WTWR from Macomb County when Detroit had no mainstream CHR. WRVF had the tagline "Soft Hit Music" and an interesting lineup of specialty s...

The American Archive of Public Broadcasting (americanarchive.org) has an exhibit devoted to National Educational Television and an extensive collection of NET shows from the '50s and '60s. Some of them are interesting, especially the NET Journal and At Issue series (sort of an early version of Front...

Wasn't WLJN-AM the first Christian radio station in northern MI, if I'm not mistaken? I know Promise's flagship station, WPHN, didn't sign on until 1985. IIRC WLJN-AM took over the former WTCM-AM frequency when WTCM-AM moved to 580. I hadn't thought about the possibility of a P&W format. I don't kno...

Looks like a little less competition in the crowded Jesus music field is coming up north. The "Promise FM" folks are buying the Good News Media stations (89.9 WLJN-FM and 1400/104.1 WLJN Traverse City, 1370/100.7 WLJW Cadillac, 95.9 WLJW-FM Fife Lake/105.5 WSRJ Honor, 107.9 WLJD Charlevoix) for $1. ...

Hero. Mighty Patch pimple "patches"; there's no reason for these two to be the only spokespersons for the product. https://i.ibb.co/MkWVbbx/2023-09-11-18-12-12-Window.png https://i.ibb.co/YZXB8gk/2023-09-11-18-13-05-Window.png They play both The Zit AND the person affected by The Zit . Perfectly pu...

They flipped 106.7 in northern KY from Classic Country (formerly simulcast on 105.9) to The Oasis, but that signal doesn't reach Dayton. It barely even reaches Cincy, which already has WDJO for oldies fans. I have a friend who lives and works in Xenia and primarily listened to 105.9 at work, and is ...

Urban One missed its chance not to turn 107.5 into a "Classix" station like its 107.9 in Philly when they operated the station. The Hot format targets an audience that by and large doesn't use radio any more, so a Classic Soul/Old School format makes the most sense since 92.3, 105.1 and 105.9 (and 9...

I remember Fudgie 94... satellite-delivered Hot AC as I recall. The author of the Wiki article on 94.5 mentions the original calls on 94.3 were WSSW and the original format was automated MOR. IIRC the Coast FM format was the same satellite-delivered Jones Radio Networks Smooth Jazz later used on the...

Last time I had 102.9 then-WFUR in this area (Washtenaw County) was during the 2003 blackout. I also pulled in WYFM that day. Without WWWW's IBOC splashing onto the adjacent frequencies, I'm getting WNDH Napoleon pretty well on 103.1. There's a bit of tropospheric enhancement going on as well which ...

How did the Toledo FM station get the same (long held) call sign as the Cinci AM with 50 kW ? I have seen only a fewinstances of this duplication in the US, very unusual. Using the -FM suffix makes it a separate call sign. Pemberville is legally WCKY-FM. Another example is WMGC. Detroit's 105.1 is ...

RadioInsight would call this "CHR/Gold." Similar to what B96 in Chicago is doing now.
Not quite a River clone. You won't be hearing Celine Dion or Rod Stewart here.

They're still better off than NBC 24 in Toledo, which doesn't even HAVE a local newscast anymore. They just run The National Desk. I get the feeling anyone can be a meteorologist for a Sinclair station anyway. All you have to do is deny the science and blame the LGBTQ+ community for any bad weather ...

Stacks may image itself as a Rhythmic station as opposed to Urban, but unlike other small-to-medium-market Rhythmic stations, their music is virtually solidly mass-appeal Black music, little if any pop unless it has some kind of Hip-Hop component. Also, their only local air personality, Metro Melik,...
