Agree with this, entirely. Krol is dedicated to local options. Owosso is uniquely impacted by major signals from all of mid-Michigan and SE Michigan.

Few people lack the ability to get out of their own way. That’s him. He’s pushing 60, if not older, and never had a situation where his own behavior could have been the issue. Have always felt sorry for his family. He truly had the world in his hands when CC/iHM was still doing local shows, and pis ...

Agree with your MoJo point—CHR is in a bad place! And think about the flip side of that coin. iHM has been “nurturing” his son’s “Joe Show on FLZ and PM Drive in Detroit… it’s not working in either market. So, if they think that’s a good plan… oof. Then again, iHM doesn’t seem to care that Bobby Bone ...

Agreed. You can program newsroom cameras ahead of time now. And… only really need someone for KYRON. The anchors have control over the prompter by foot peddle as they always have. It’s the volume of reporters and large anchor teams that have dwindled, even in large markets. Operators are “sharing” th ...

I remember listening to him in the early 90s on CK. The station was still very young, at that point. From what I was told (way back in the day) Ian had an Australian/British accent (officially). He was great on air, but fired after making a reference to Janet Jackson’s “Black Cat” in a backsell as “J ...

When we consider the FCC is open to ending ownership caps in various parts of our industry to “help consumers,” you have to wonder how the enterprises that can’t cover intense emergency situations, would better cover those situations with even more properties they seemingly can’t manage (staff, opera ...

How was the coverage from local media? WXYZ seems to dominate news results in search. On websites from local news, there isn’t nearly the coverage Detroit provided for Flint/National News. Unless I’ve missed something?

This is a different iteration of Connoisseur, but the same CEO with Jeff W. He operated a great company back in the 90s/early 2000s. Can’t recall what he owned in west Michigan… but Cumulus bought the Flint properties and still “operate” those today. Jeff believes in doing it “the right way.” Albeit, ...

TSM has no desire to have a winning radio station. Their latest earnings report further details as much. That said, if they wanted to make ratings noise/money, the urban ac should be put on WLHT. You’ll get a good chunk of money-making opportunity from Muskegon, too. Then, use a couple of the other f ...

If only anyone could see the $$ demo?! Turns out, Q is actually making a solid run against WRVF. And WRQN is rated higher than WIOT… authenticity is king.

“Feeling good” is subjective. Relating to an actual human is a big factor in “feeling good.”

MW, a question.. with the recent moves by Gray [ notably the swapping of Some medium sized Scripps stations for Gray Stations, the recent purchases of some sagamoreHill stations , and now the purchase of the tv stations of Toledo, Ohio based Block Communications] is it or COULD it be safe to assume ...

Sarcasm? Or are you emotionless?

Let’s remember, facts are facts. If someone hates the actual facts, that is NOT bias. That’s someone that doesn’t like the truth. We’re in a weird historical place in our Democratic Republic where “feelings” or “I’ll do my own research” has been allowed to masquerade as “alternative facts.” One’s opi ...

Sure, you can blame the prick, but the blame really belongs to the congress that just rolls over for his every whim. No I believe the blame is squarely on PBS and NPR themselves. Anyone listening in the last 20 or 30 years knows their reporting has been blatantly biased. Like don't even try to hide ...
