Re: Congratulations to Nathan Reed/JJ Shades

This is wonderful news! Nathan's always been a consummate radio professional, both on and off air. I worked with him many years ago and was always impressed with his passion for and dedication to radio, from the beginnings of his career at WOAP to now.

Re: RIP 1470

Finally remembered to check for WFNT when I got into Flint last night, and nothing but a faint signal on the frequency from something far away. Oddly (well, not really, considering that it's Townsquare) their website and Facebook page are still being updated regularly. Their request for silent STA s...

Re: 910 WFDF

Did they take the large original 5 kW RCA Transmitter out or other equipment? From what I remember, the place was void of any equipment, save a broken speaker or reel-to-reel. I drove by yesterday, and the site is cleaned up, with the building restored, and a new parking lot with access from Bristo...

Re: 910 WFDF

Curiosity led me to walking right into the old WFDF building, long abandoned, in September 2020. The lot was very overgrown, with the towers long gone. The garage door was unlocked, the basement was flooded, and the main floor was a ransacked mess. I didn't take many pictures, but from what I rememb...

Re: ALT 98.7 reaches new low in June...1.6 Share

I've been listening to Cristina's show on Mixcloud for a few years now. Not being on a commercial station allows her to go even deeper into obscure tracks, all while still having tight, informative breaks. Being online also means no five-plus minute commercial breaks advertising Canadian McDonald's ...

Re: Storms 6/26

Maybe I was doing it wrong, but at 6:35 PM Saturday when I clicked on the ABC 12 Livestream link on their website I had to watch a commercial, then it played Kevin Goff's 6 PM weather report. I was getting no up to date info on the approaching storms. Do live steams only take place at newstime? I a...
