Re: "Beep beep" intro to TV8 traffic updates...

TV traffic reports are stupid. Who is watching a TV behind the wheel?

Re: Good news - B93 will NOT be airing Bobby Bones in mornings!

According to Yahoo Finance, Bones is heard on 240 stations. Figuring an average of two and a half people per station losing their jobs to his crew, it works out to about 600 people who were thrown on the breadline. That's pretty brutal. But that's I Heart I guess. I wish the new B crew nothing but t...

Re: B-93 Birthday Bash... Stick a fork in it? And more....

Interesting thoughts..... but.... TC says acts are not interested in playing radio station shows in market # 68. Nonsense...Acts go where the money is AND where stations promote the records. Period. Georgetown says radio is dead. BS. Give me B's 320 watts. It still makes money, and with the right pe...

B-93 Birthday Bash... Stick a fork in it?

In years past this once apex summer West Michigan Concert would be days away from giving away, or more correctly now, selling vastly overpriced tickets. This morning, there is no mention of the show at B93.com Is Bash dead? Why? 1. No or little new talent coming out of Nashville. 2 The radio station...

Beyonce and Country Music Part 2

I have waited a week for my post from a week ago Sunday to sink in. Beyonce is still number one on the Billboard country chart, which completely discounts country radio AIRPLAY. MY original point. On the I Heart Media Chart Beyonce remains a no show. A response to my original post alleged it was a f...

Re: Beyonce and Country Radio

Respectfully incorrect. It has next to zero airplay. The song achieves it's status with downloads and other factors that doesn't include country airplay.

Beyonce and Country Radio

I am amused by Network News talking heads who keep gushing over Beyonce's Country Album. I haven't heard any of it save clips from Texas Hold Em and Jolene. But Jolene was a number one hit 50 years ago. That was 3 or 4 eras ago in the format. The talking heads talk about Beyonce's #1 country hit. As...

Re: Terri DeBoer retiring from WOOD-TV

30-ish years ago Terri and I spent an afternoon playing golf. She sought advice, wondering if moving from 3 to 8 would be wise, I counseled a move north, in retrospect, making me appear far wiser than I am. She is one of the kind ones, loving AM drive and never coveting Chief.

The B-93Morning Show.

I have been listening to my esteemed former colleagues for a week or so. The show is "billed" as 5 to 10. In truth it doesn't really start till 6. Morning drive is well underway by them. Aly Mac fills the news role with "3 Things you should know". They really aren't. Matt follows up with some thing ...
