Re: New WWJ/WKBD Boss

Western Livingston was in the tornado warning polygon for that storm. It was a confirmed tornado minutes away from moving into the DMA. Fortunately, it dissipated just west of the Aldi warehouse. There is a decent amount of commuting traffic between western Livingston and the Lansing area as well. 2...

Re: 1270 to Begin

A new day, and still no Sports Rap 1270. Waab's buddies in the local media tripped over themselves to report on the upcoming launch of the station when the concept was announced last February or March. Now that the promised launch date has come and gone without an actual launch, there's nothing but ...

Re: Detroit Public TV moving, current home sold

Detroit PBS puts this crazy, clueless bitch on the air all the time during fundraising campaigns. They should be ashamed.

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

The jury will either find Trump not guilty or there will be a hung jury resulting in a mistrial. That's my prediction.

Re: 1270 to Begin

Waab's station launched a Twitter page on April 25. Aside from the opening post (which received 1 whole like - LMAO!!!), there have been no others. This new station was to employ multiple local hosts. Caller driven local shows require call screeners and board ops, too. Then, there's the question of ...

I don't blame 'em! Compliments to CBS corporate (there's something I seldom say!) for recognizing a change was needed.

Re: April Ratings

RadioInsight's ratings page for Detroit showed 93.1 WUFL-FM with a 0.5 share and cume of 80,000, for those curious. TSL is therefore mediocre but not horrible. No data available publicly for 102.7 K-Love unfortunately. In other major markets (New York, Chicago, L.A., Washington) outside of the bible...

Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

There is plenty of empty space among existing buildings in downtown Detroit, especially west of Griswold. The space doesn't always show up in CBD vacancy data because some of the space is not leasable in its current condition. I will also note proposed construction in District Detroit (LCA's neighbo...

Re: 1270 to Begin

No Waab Parker programming yet on 1270.

Wouldn't shock me if it never makes it to air.

Either a lease payment was missed or Audacy corporate quietly nixed the arrangement. Perhaps the delay in implementation of Audacy's BK plan of reorganization is a factor? (FCC is dragging its feet.)

I heard the Jim Rome show when I turned on 1270 an hour ago. I will check again in a couple hours.

Re: New WWJ/WKBD Boss

A 10 PM newscast on channel 50 would be nice.

Will be interesting to see if any additional heads roll.

I'm still not over WWJ-TV refusing to break into programming on a wall-to-wall basis last August as a strong tornado ransacked I-96 near Webberville.
