Re: 910 am super station breaking news

Sure would be nice to have an oldies station I can get clearly 24/7 and don't have to be tied to an Internet connection or mobile data to listen to. I can get WPON and CKWW during the day but both disappear at night. CKWW is going away soon anyway. AM 1200's short tenure with the Classic Soul format...

Re: WTVG 75th Anniversary special

I'm wondering if they didn't talk nearly as much as the WSPD era because many of the people from that area are no longer around. Fair enough, but I still think they could have at least searched the archives, or if nothing else talked to people who grew up watching it and had memories to share. Perh...

Re: 100.5 The River on low power

There's WBCH to consider as well.
WION has a translator in Lowell on 100.3 too, which I realize could be forced off the air if WTRV were able to upgrade. It baffles me as to how it ever got approved being so close to 100.5.

Re: 100.5 The River on low power

Looks like Townsquare might be expanding the corporate playlist a bit (if you check out their sister station in Albany, 103.9 The Breeze, it's the same songs in the same order). One title I see on the list that surprises me: "Feel Like Makin' Love" by Roberta Flack. That's the type of song I remembe...

Re: WSBX 94.5 On The Air

Sounds not dissimilar to the "We Play Everything" era of Eagle 101.5, but maybe not as wide-ranging. That was a station where you could hear Madonna, The Carpenters and George Strait within a few minutes of each other. I vaguely remember WLTO 103.9. They were a Country reporter station in the Gavin ...

Re: WSBX 94.5 On The Air

WCHY I would describe as Oldies (when they're not airing the ultra-far-right talk programming before noon). Their satellite format is similar to what 99-9 The Wave used to be. The Wave today seems to be somewhere in between WCHY and Lite 96.3, but more uptempo than 106.3 - they play Madonna, Whitney...

Re: Fake Wheels still sucks

Their RDS has been off for a couple of days, although their HD is still on. A routine outage, or a harbinger of a change? Perhaps the speculated-about flip to Country (for a third time and unlikely to do any better than 93.1 did with it)?
Either way, the station will remain off my radar.

July 30 E-Skip

Texas took over the FM dial in northern Washtenaw County this evening. Here's some of what I was able to confirm (Whitmore Lake, between 7-9pm, Grundig Eton Traveler III and Sangean HDR-14): 88.5 KGHY Beaumont - lucky enough to get them just as they were airing a jingle during the syndicated program...

Re: WTVG 75th Anniversary special

I had an old '70s era color TV in my bedroom when I lived in Saline and found Toledo stations came in much better OTA than Detroit (my other TV had cable, but since our cable system had only Detroit stations the only way to watch Toledo was OTA). Also I remember having quite a bit of trouble with th...

Re: Blunder 107.3 earns worst AQH share in brand history

102.5 fell off the radar in Kzoo after the switch to The Block? Or was that some kind of sampling error?
I wonder how 104.9 is doing in BC.
