Re: AM Radio might have 10 more years

AM radio will likely be around for several more decades, it'll just become increasingly marginalized and removed from most mass produced receivers with time. The programming will increase consistently of fringe preachers and foreign language programming. By the way, is Bell Media ever going to get o...

Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???

Sweet Emotion is a very tired song, IMO. Let CSX play it.

Re: Which mobile phone MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators) are best?

Well, I just switched to T-Mobile's "Connect" prepaid plan. Their online order form has a glitch or two, but I was able to soldier through it. My zip code's post office is different than my actual municipality, which caused the e911 data form to pitch a fit, but a redo resolved the issue somehow. Wa...

Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???

WRIF also needs to play something from Aerosmith other than "Sweet Emotion" (which they play 1,000 times a week seemingly, including right now), "Mama Kin" or "Dream On." Might not be as annoying if the recording quality were better. There's not a remastered version of that song?

Re: the old WJPW-AM 810

Thanks! WEHB --> WBYW --> WAYG --> WNHG. When I first heard the station, the TX had already been moved to the Plainfield / Northland Dr. area. I do not know if it was omni or directional from that site. I just know that the signal was awful in the south suburbs! I miss the former WaY-FM 89.9. Wasn't...

Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???

I'm not a fan of "Wasting My Time" by Default, but I don't dislike it as much as the vast majority of singles released by Nickelback.

I disagree big time with you, 48125, regarding "Like a Stone" by Audioslave. Although not one of my favorites, I think that is a quality song.

Re: Former WNEM retires

I just saw Jim report at the very top of WXYZ's newscast this evening. I tuned in a minute or two late. Had no idea he was retiring!

I've enjoyed his work at both WDIV and WXYZ.

Re: the old WJPW-AM 810

I think I remember WEHB. Did they used to broadcast at 89.9 FM? Could barely pick up the station in Wyoming. After that station left the airwaves, Cornerstone University purchased the license, I believe. It then broadcasted traditional hymnal music for a spell before becoming Christian CHR as WAYG. ...

That would've been a very good ticket, but swearing to serve only one term is too high a price to pay just to secure a running mate.

Re: I Cut the Cord-How it Went and Grades for each of my new App Services

Hard reboots are definitely a great idea if reliability isn't what it should be. Also reduces infiltration risk, I would assume. Purchasing your own Xfinity-compliant modem is definitely the way to go. My current modem is one I own. I either purchased it from bestbuy.com or amazon.com (cannot rememb...

Kelly is awful; completely agree! She belongs on a soccer mom station (Country, AC, Christian AC).
