This thread is starting to give off a real “old retired dudes chatting at their weekly Tuesday morning donut shop meeting” vibe.

On a more positive note, Jason Benetti is absolutely phenomenal. Only two games in and I’d dare say he’s the best TV lead the Tigers have ever had.

Is anyone surprised this email was written by a guy named Brad?

Happy to be out of the TV News biz.

I do think that could be a possibility and it they were to simulcast with WMRR-FM 101.7 in Muskegon they could save money for the company, they wouldn't have to start over with a new staff, and would sound so much better than WLAV. How does that save money?? Both of those stations already run on au...

Not to beat a very dead horse but this is just one more reminder of the extent that the radio industry is struggling financially. A little money is all it takes for management to be willing to sacrifice the brand. I’d assume they get more money for the airtime than they’d be able to make selling ads...

I think the point Trophyhead was making is that the same songs shouldn’t be played at 7:30a and 5:30p (for example) because in theory the same audience is listening on their way to and from work. Although with work from home and more work schedule flexibility, etc these days I’m not sure that rule s...

Love Benetti! Easily one of the 2 or 3 best in baseball. He makes watching games enjoyable even when the game itself isn’t a good one.

False.

Left radio last I knew.

Technically the Lions season is over by October 1, anyway.

Haven’t paid much attention to the NFL lately?

Temporary. He works remotely from Texas and offers green screen services.

This would especially make sense in Cleveland.

Listened for a bit this morning and honestly didn’t think the show sounded all that bad. Agree with MW that it wasn’t anything special but that’s kind of par for the course these days isn’t it? Definitely not my cup of tea but was expecting much worse after reading Reese’s post. At least didn’t hear...

I believe Laurie Allen (sp?) was also forced into “retirement” by Cumulus. The industry continues to change at warp speed. As few live jocks we have in Grand Rapids (and everywhere else) right now, there’ll be MUCH fewer in the next couple years.
