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.

He is happily retired living on a quiet lake, I imagine he has re launched his pontoon boat (a cooler with a steering wheel) by now.

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 ...

Re: Active Shooter MSU

I did not retire, Tim Feagan told me the company decided to go in a different direction. Then rode with me on the elevator to the ground floor. I did get a very generous severance package. But Aly, a sweet person, hasn't any real news experience. It is funny, when we put the station on the air, I on...

Re: MSU CLOSED FOR TWO DAYS.

Radio station web sites did a perfectly miserable job. WOOD AM and FM did get a story posted for about two hours after the fact, but it appeared to be an I Heart canned story. To my knowledge no other station posted a thing.
