Not to mention Graham also has a station in Miami.
They sold it in 2014. But yes, sending Adams was stupid.

Re: Why So Many Black People in Commercials?

Whenever I watch TV, particularly daytime TV, I notice most commercials have more black people than White, especially if it's a car or drug commercial. Why not portray them in correct proportions? I've heard that only about 5 corporations make all the commercials, but I can't find who they are or h...

What ever happened to Ankles?

He was in at least a couple bits, but no mention of him.

That’s such BS. Many big names graduated from there and have done quite well. MANY.
There are not that many jobs in local broadcasting, but there sure were a lot of Spec's grads.

Re: Is DTE's ad $$$ influencing local media coverage of power outages?

DTE has a rate increase proposal in to the MI PUCC for 10%, so they probably are trying to get ahead of the outrage. Utilities have figured out that they can easily get rate increases in rate controlled areas by claiming it is necessary to repair/update distribution systems. What they don't tell you...

Re: Young Country 99.5 in the 1990s

Alliance closed on WDFX mid-August 1993, flipped the call to WOWF Christmas eve of that year after they “killed the fox”. WYCD didn’t take to the air until May 1994. It wasn’t far into 1996 that Infinity purchased all Alliance Broadcast properties, Mel Karmazin himself came and made the introduction...

Re: Pretty boy Grant Hermes

When opinions and slanted coverage make their way into the news it really shouldnt surprise anyone. Polls consistently show that a majority of young people entering the profession did so to "make a difference". Translation: push what they consider the correct view and disparage what they do not. So...

Re: Pretty boy Grant Hermes

Now Grant is in the anti Tudor Dixon attack ads. How can a news anchor be objective when advertising for Democrats? As of right now, there is nothing stopping political ads from using news footage. So it is likely neither this person nor the station had any say in its use. https://www.rtdna.org/art...

Re: Friggin' WWJ 950

HD radio technology is dying or dead. You can't even buy AM HD radios for the home anymore, they only come with vehicles now. With unlimited mobile data, the younger generation just streams from their phone in the car. WWJ on the Audacy app sounds great!! Next up on what mobile broadband kills is.....

Re: Roberta Jasina Loses her job

Whatever happened to Age Discrimination being against the law? If she doesn't get a golden parachute, she should consider doing something about it. If WJR was smart, they would hire her. Probably a non compete in her contract though. Maybe settle for a big golden parachute otherwise, and a longer n...

Re: People in Washtenaw County love WUOM

I think this might be a new record high for the current format, and perhaps, in the long history of the station: https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb581 Also cannot remember the last time W4 was as low as a 2.8 share. I think that might've happened only one other time. They sure don't like ...
