Re: Z93

Although we can't speak about employment, that would not be something the station would entertain.

A live afternoon talent will be on the station late winter/early spring.

Re: Z93

Looks like they already changed out afternoon drive talent too? Scrubbed from the website. Broadway has mostly been an afternoon or evening jock and is listed there so the scrubbing of the site must have happened recently.

Re: Z93

Close but not the same. It is Corri English who sounds similar. I guess it's kind of flattery they would want to try to come close to the same voice. Their ratings have tanked 2.3 to 1.9 to 1.2 maybe it's time for a rebranding, but I do not see them cutting into KHQ, especially since that is Trish' ...

Re: City of Grand Haven evicts WGHN-FM from tower due to lease violations

I was reading the WZZM 13 article and it says... "The city of Grand Haven entered into a tower lease agreement with the city of Grand Haven back in 1984 and says the agreement has been revised a number of times." am I just tired or is there something wrong with that headline and sentence in that art...

Re: WOUF Back! On 750 Petoskey.

93.3 Onekama is one case of where a noncommercial winner would've actually served the public better than the actual winner (Smile FM, Strong Tower Radio, or even EMF, just to name a few). However, I remember there being a slight bidding war between Suzanne and WMOM's current owner for 93.3 Onekama ...

Re: 102.7 manistee

Looks like WMOM is getting new antennas installed today. 4 antennas to 6 antennas. signal will be off. Maybe I’ll listen to WRVM, 🤮 No change in ERP from what I heard. Hopefully it will help with reception gaps in City of Manistee. Don't bet on it. It is what it is. In any event, there's very littl...

Re: 102.7 manistee

This is a sticky situation. Personally, I would have been inclined to let the tropo/skip conditions pass, and not call attention to it. In a small market, it's too easy for people to blow things out of proportion that are just a natural occurrence. Absolutely. We don't talk about the interference a...

Re: Latest Nielsen #'s show radio's diminishing relevance

I have been wondering for some time now, how long radio stations can hold on. Other than maybe catching a football game on local station last fall, I am honestly not sure the last time I actually listened to a broadcast radio station. Sirius/XM lets me listen to what I want with a much better signa...

Re: Northern MI radio observations from 10/23 to 10/26

Let me first say that I enjoyed reading your observations. I think it shows that there are stations our there that are bettering themselves for their future. Rural radio does not have to be far off from major market radio. The difference that rural radio can be localized without feeling the pressure...

Re: West Michigan Radio Websites are miserably short of content.

Radio stations continue to do it very backwards. The content that should go on your social media should be directly related to your content on air, i.e. promotions, listener interactions, heck we do live video every time a listener is on the air to ensure that slight extension of the on-air segment....

Re: Thoughts on Rush Limbaugh's legacy

I had to listen to the blowhard for several years while running his show. In the beginning you could hear his DJ roots and sometimes it was decent radio. I'll say this, his interview skills, even early on, were better than Sean Hannity's could ever be. That being said, I'm glad he's dead. The year ...

Is Anyone Focusing on 105.3 HOT FM?

Recently observing issues that have lasted for weeks on WHTS and for a larger market station like that, you would think that these issues would be fixed or focused on. There RDS has been stuck on "JUSTIN" for a couple of weeks now no matter where you are at in Grand Rapids and including a moment out...

Re: Scott Winters Joins Parler and asks others to follow

If any of you actually believe that Republicans are getting the same social media treatment as Democrats when it comes to their speech than you're just plain stupid. Admitting that it is happening does not have to be related to agreeing with each others views, but certainly seeing freedom of speech ...
