Re: Derek Falter is out as Market Manager at Cumulus GR; successor named
Quality of air talent, on-air product, etc is a relatively minor concern in radio these days. Ownership ultimately only cares about profitability. Jocks no longer need to be “good” necessarily. Are they bringing in enough endorsement money to validate their salary? If they are they get to keep their...

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

Re: Dan Dickerson
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.

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps
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...

Re: Cumulus is whoring its FM signals
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...

Re: Blunder 107.3 ties worst AQH share ever; WGRD expands lead over WLAV
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...

Re: Jason Benetti replaces Shep
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.
Would love to see him teamed up with Cam Maybin.

Re: The B-93Morning Show.
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...
