Damn - your memory is good!

Indeed, I used to mock that on-air proclamation for its absurdity.
What was absurd about the "workforce" tag? It seems like in an industrial setting, rock music is fairly popular with the workers.

The one article said he had a short-term illness, but his passing was sudden and unexpected, per his wife.

Re: Tesla Cybertruck is an incapable pile of rubbish

Tesla vehicles also longer have Disney+ for entertainment due to Elon's bad relationship with them dropping their ads on Twitter.

Re: Ken Calvert, R.I.P

What a shame. Ken was a legend here, in both radio and with the Pistons. He touched so many lives over his career too. So unfortunate this happened just before Christmas, and ten years to the day of his retirement from CSX. R.I.P. Ken. You will be missed.

The both of you will be telling the same, tired jokes in here in 2060. Then it’s a stalemate because we know you’ll be writing him in forever. You'll be voting for Dementia Joe and Matt will be voting for somebody who has literally zero percent chance of winning. So I'm not sure either of you have ...

Just heard "Do You Believe in Magic?" used for a Cambpell's Soup commercial.

Re: Ratings Day in Toledo

I'm not sure if WIOT still plays "Renegade" or any other Styx Songs. They do play "In the Air Tonight" and "Money for Nothing" though.

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

When will the engineers and IT gurus at Audacy get off their butts and fix the skipping / popping issue with the music? KJKK in Dallas has (or had) exactly the same issue, per a post on Radio-Discussions. I'm now thinking it is an automation system or software issue as opposed to an STL issue. I've...

It looks like it's just Lomas, per their website. Sean's name is still on the byline, but every other mention has been removed.

Re: What's Next For 103.3 W77BI?

It was 2013-14. They were playing "Royals" by Lorde literally like three times an hour along with shit like Gotye, Hozier, Passion Pit and Gnarls Barkley. And it didn't really stop until one of the mercy killings when 1470 was shut down and the terrible syndicated talk shows moved to 100.7 a couple...

Re: WJR, boring programming

WSPD in Toledo is pretty boring on weekends unless if the Rockets or Guardians are playing. Lots of Purity Products infomercials, and niche talk shows.

It's probably going to be a national religious feed, but I wish it would be true oldies or a large library classic hits station.

Sports Illustrated caught using fake AI writers

Sports Illustrated was caught using fake writers for articles using AI. SI's union condemned the publication and many current and former writers did too. What a downfall for what was once the gold standard of sports print journalism.

And the Sharks have been one of the worst teams in the NHL so far this season.
