The market for a full FM station is not there. Its about the same as the polish population(the ones that have homes or know family back in Poland) in metro detroit. Very limited. I can see a FM station like the AM station having time block segments of Spanish/latin music though. Once we see livonia...

I don't see why a latin format wouldn't appeal to the Black community. It's why I think it would be successful in Detroit - a station that is heavily latin-pop would attract more than just Latin Detroiters.

But ok, let's say not 107.5. Then 93.1 DRQ could come back as a Latin pop/dance station.

I say yes, especially if it's highly sindicated and aims itself at the pop market. I wondered in my '22 predictions whether this was possible as a new local marketing agreement with the Masons to run 107.5. Univision's 'Latino Mix' format would be a good call.

With the insane ratings that WNIC gets in December, I'm really surprised that 'YCD or 93.1 didn't go for a Country Christmas format. They both took a hit in the December books because of NIC's dominance. I agree with MWmetalhead: 93.1 could do worse than return to 93.1 Detroit's LITE FM. If Cumulus ...

My predictions. 1. Because radio lacks imagination, and because we love a comeback, we see two returns: - The return of V98.7 Smooth Jazz/AC, early in the new year. - The return of 93.1 DRQ, with a Rhythmic CHR format, in the Memorial Day or 4th of July weekend. 2. We see a new local marketing agree...

Change is surely coming. They're not going to fire the morning show without something planned. My money is after Christmas, it'll be a WWJ simulcast or the return of Smooth Jazz V98.7.

MyNetwork could do a national [dance show], but WADL probably could do a local version just as well. MyNet does not create any new programming. They only provide 10 hours a week of reruns of previous network shows. That's all MyNet is, a "distribution service", not a real network. After the English...

Any word on whether WYMD will be swapping calls? As mtburb says, I'd personally like to see them revert to WXON.

What the fuck is this shit? Is this thread for real???

Agreed. Why is this even a thing?

Surely Scripps will have to divest WPXD, so I can't see any of WXYZ or WMYD's programming will end up on WPXD. Wouldn't you be more likely to see ion turn up on 20.4?
