Matt, I have a very similar memory of EZ 105.7 in Grand Rapids. 🙂 Always some shitty song by the Carpenters, Michael Bolton or Celine Dion seemed to be playing. I never could choose which was worse - the pain from the tightening of my braces or listening to that horrendous music. I give the crew at ...

I wonder how deep into Kent County the signal travels if using an outdoor antenna?

Would not surprise me if some folks in Alpine, Plainfield, Cannonsburg and Grattan Twps. are able to receive it (rescan would be required, of course).

What really grabbed my eye was how much WLHT sunk. The Q is definitely on a downward trend, too.

WTNR is approaching all time record worst numbers for 107.3 MHz in Grand Rapids.

I'm not even sure which counties Nielsen considers to be in the MSA. Many of the outlying areas Z93 reaches well won't affect Saginaw / Bay City / Midland ratings much if any. I will say Z93 clearly has a big signal advantage in Midland County over WGER. In Saginaw County, though, WGER might have an...

Took a trip to Cobo - err TCF - err Huntington Place early this evening. Be prepared to pay out the ass for parking if you park at Huntington Place or across the street on the north side Congress. I had to pay $20 just to park. Perhaps I should've driven up to Fort Street or parked at a meter along ...

"I sure will miss Mix 106.3!" ...is a phrase less likely to be heard than "the Detroit Lions are in the Super Bowl!" 😅 Classic Country a la Duke FM would've been a decent way to go...perhaps. I'm not sold the demos are there to support it, and such a format might've cannibalized WCEN a little too mu...

I love the more energetic sounding reads he does on WGER and on Liquid Metal. His reads on WRIF sound so boring.

Rain definitely arrived much earlier than forecast. Areas around Flint and Lansing have been clobbered this evening. There seems to be some mid level energy in the middle of the state that has really caused storms to blossom there. Tons of lightning across the M-52 corridor right now. Other than the...

Plenty of ways to listen online. :) Overall, I'm fairly impressed by the playlist so far! Down Rodeo by RATM. Bad Religion by Godsmack. Some other hard rocking stuff mixed in with some lighter fare. The mix reminds me of Rock 105.5 in Port Huron somewhat, but 106.3 The Core is more willing to play t...

Microphone processing for whatever DJ is on the air sounds like trash and needs to be fixed.

Edit - this new station sure has a boatload of commercials.

Interesting! I guess the story we were told a year or two ago of the Hot AC station pulling its weight was either bullshit all along or no longer true. Will definitely have to give this a listen. The first hour at Noon today was on the wimpy side but some good music has been played since then. https...

I cannot help but think of Bob Quinn (Lions), but I am optimistic this situation will turn out differently.

A decent number of producers and MMJs have been hired, and they have at least three weathercasters (two of whom were already on staff), but so far I'm only seeing one sports anchor and maybe three news anchors. Looks like they have a long way to go still. No launch date. Hell, I've not even seen any...

He has no criminal history, supposedly, so it would be completely legal for him to own a firearm. The main issue here is the firearm found in the vehicle evidently wasn't cased properly and had its serial number etched off. Who the hell knows if (a) he was even aware the gun was in the car, and (b) ...

I thought he was so-so as a news anchor at 7; I liked him better when he did Sports.

I'd say that tirade is deserving of immediate termination.
