Re: Bill Vogel
Just saw this. Legend of Northern Michigan Radio. 20 Years at KHQ and defined an era of radio in the North. Get the heck out of bed! The weather with Storm Kennedy... Toured the downtown Charlevoix studios when I was in 5th grade. Still remember it. His KIA and Casino Commercials will live on!

I quite enjoyed working for/with JT at Townsquare and WFGR. I'm sure he'll land somewhere - hopefully where he wants to be!

Re: Another reason someone should take on B-93. No local morning show.
You are dead on about the minor leagues. Decimated. I don't even know where you would advertise an opening these days. But good college broadcasting universities are still turning out graduates, My station would reach out to them. The diamonds in the rough are still out there desperate for jobs, an...

Re: Another reason someone should take on B-93. No local morning show.
Local GR radio is almost in ashes these days. Sure is nice to hear Conrad (and friends) on Jethro - talking about local things - I especially loved the weather report from "outside the window" in Grandville! Good luck to Matt in Texas - I'm sure he's bright enough to know that if his wife has a good...

Fantastic Lady and fantastic broadcaster. So glad to share the halls with her for a couple of years. Truly a loss. RIP.

Re: Conrad on Jethro
When In Interned at WTCM the phone would just ring and the orders would come in. Never saw a station like that before (or after for that matter) WTCM (was and is) making Bank. It was usually sold out Months in advance.

Re: WFGR Mornings
Craig was the "Afternoon Hustle" on WFGR. He was "Morning Hustle" at WKPK (The Peak) in Northern Michigan. I'll let Craig tell the story about why he was bounced from WFGR if he wishes to tell it. It's a weird one to say the least. Craig is now in South Dakota as mentioned, after having a stint in J...

Re: WFGR Mornings
Good luck to them! Didn't think it was possible, but the websites at townsquare have gotten even worse since I was there. I cannot even hardly look at it. :P "Sarah Sullivan" I see has replaced Steve Labenz in middays (which I did for 3 years there - LIVE) before they went VT and now out of market V...

Re: There will be some very surprised people if West Michigan ever has a real disaster,
Reese did an outstanding job keeping people up to Date on B93... having been a part of several of those. I remember calling Reese at home Saturday AM when the shuttle dissapeared - Within two minutes, he was on the air. I was at the controls and he was on the phone from home - that's how quickly it ...

Re: 3 Grand Rapids stations were dead air on Sunday afternoon
Hate to say it, but does anyone really turn to the radio anymore for any sort of public news/information or warnings? Sadly, the days of having to have a body in the building are pretty much gone.
