Re: WJR shits the bed again...this time with a 2.2 share!

There's no reason to pull the plug on Nash FM. For as low budget as that station is, a 2.9 share is very respectable. There is no other music format where a 2.9 share can be achieved with as small a budget....NONE!!! The station spends almost NO money on programming morning drive, evenings or overn...

Re: WJR shits the bed again...this time with a 2.2 share!

Not quite the all-time record low 2.0 share that AM 760 recorded in the 6/20 – 7/17 survey period, but man oh man, they sure came close to matching that embarrassing feat! Christmas Music did not perform well for 98.7; that surprises me a little bit. Interestingly, 100.3 stuck with Christmas music ...

Re: WNWO last night during SNL.

WNWO was worse than a college intern running control. They ran a boatload of local spots DURING SNL, then had a static card, then ran the beginning of the POS Wrestling show 15 minutes early, then crashed that and went back to the NBC feed, which was a card of Eddie Murphy, ran a couple more spots,...

Re: Worst Christmas songs

I worked a stint at Radio Shack in the late 1980s that included the Christmas holidays. Corporate ordered us to play the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas album, and only that album, all day, every day, from the day after Thanksgiving through New Year's Day. To this day, I can't stomach them. I actual...

Worst Christmas songs

What do you think are the worst Christmas songs in history?

Re: WNWO last night during SNL.

WNWO has apparently removed all the comments regarding SNL on its FB page. They were still there yesterday. They're also not saying what caused the technical difficulties that they were going to investigate yesterday.

Re: WNWO last night during SNL.

Last night during SNL, WNWO apparently had technical problems by running commercials, cutting off most of Lizzo's performance and Eddie Murphy's last skit. Lots of outrage on Facebook and Twitter. WNWO claims that it might have been a network issue. I've noticed technical problems on WNWO more so w...

Come one Entercom, radio needs some live and local, or there is no incentive to stay with terrestrial when you can go to voice tracked satellite channel
Agreed.

Re: WNWO last night during SNL.

LOL I just looked at the FB posts and the station is trying to blame NBC for it. Get real. Most likely Sinclair doesn't approve of Lizzo. They also say they're going to look into it tomorrow when their "staff returns". I wonder if they have any people working during the weekends? If not, typical co...

Re: WNWO last night during SNL.

Because to Sinclair, Toledo IS a smaller market. WNDU in South Bend has higher priority, that's why they made Kimberly Newman move there even though she'd been doing weather in Toledo for almost 10 years and was one of the few remaining familiar local faces they had. Yeah, I liked Kimberly, but I'm...

Re: Top 10 Groups or Artist You Can’t Stand

There's not a lot of music I don't care for, so I'll give my top 5 least favorite acts. 1. Tom Waits- Guy can't sing at all and don't know how he's considered at times to be one of the best singers of all time. 2. Bob Dylan- one of the best writers of his time but for the most part, can't sing at al...

Re: 50.5 Circle Network coming soon

Circle's programming sounds absolutely putrid; I won't be watching! Perhaps it will have some appeal, though, to the geriatric crowd. The only thing I might like on Circle is the revival of the Saturday night Grand Ole Opry, which used to air for many years on CMT and later GAC. I used to watch it ...

Re: Another horrendous book for Q105

There's no way 106.5 would give Norm a show. It's clearly being run as a total bare bones operation until whenever it is sold. CWA has their (decent) local show in mornings already, then runs Patrick, Eisen and Cowherd the rest of the day. Popular national shows that they wouldn't be allowed to dum...

Would indeed be interesting to see 107.7 The Wolf's numbers. Too bad they don't subscribe. I wouldn't be surprised if they've gained in the ratings at K100's expense.
I'm guessing the Wolf has at least a 3 share. When they still subscribed, I believe they had a 3 share.
