Re: Jimmy Buffett has died

This is one of those celebrity deaths I'm crying over. Jimmy was my favorite artist, going all the way back to birth. I saw him just once live, on the Detroit River in 2015. His live shows were energetic and passionate, and he's the big reason why I love tropical islands and frozen drinks. I knew he...

Re: August 16-22 Tropo Summary

Speaking of TV tropo, I miss being able to simply turn the VHF and UHF dials on my old tv w/rabbit ears during a tropo event (I was young and had no idea what tropo even was) and pick up stations on nearly every frequency. Strangest reception I ever remember had to be in the early or mid 1990s, I r...

Q105 rebrands to a 90's and 2000's format

It looks like Q105 has flipped slightly to a more gold based format, playing mainly the hits of the 90's and 2000's, although some of today's hits are sprinkled in for good measure. This is different from when Q105 started where it was mainly a CHR with an occasional retro song, and a two hour show ...

Re: Mitch Freezes Up

No fan of Mitch, but I wish him the best of health. If its indeed TIA'S, he's at a higher chance of having a major stroke in the future. He really needs to step down from his Senate Minority Leader role.

Re: Fake Wheels still sucks

The past few times a 2nd country station came to the Detroit market, the ratings were mainly not anywhere close to what WYCD had. I don't think iHeart should try again now. Based on IHR's track record, they shouldn't try again ever! Hate to admit it, but I'm old enough to remember a time when we ha...

Re: Republican Debate

I am absolutely terrified these idiots are going to declare civil war if Trump gets locked up or when he dies. Oh, if Trump dies, you better believe there's gonna be a conspiracy and some wild shit will go down. Hillary or Biden or Obama spiked his diet coke or some shit. I can only imagine what th...

Re: WTVG adding 7 pm news

WTOL is also adding a 4:00 newscast, replacing Dr. Phil.

WTVG's I don't understand as they're replacing two syndicated shows still in production, ET and Inside Edition, and moving IE to a graveyard slot.

Re: Bob Barker dies

Bob was a game show legend. We've lost so many hosting greats over the years. I loved his hosting and his love of animals. He had a great demeanor for the Price is Right. R.I.P. Bob. Back up with his wife, Johnny Olson, and Rod Roddy. So sad he didn't make 100. Drew has really improved from his earl...

Re: 910 am super station breaking news

I'm sure some of the hosts could try to buy time on WDFN or WGPR if they wanted to. I know 910 did a great service, even if the audience was fairly small, to the Black community of Detroit.
