B93 will not be airing Bobby Bones YET.

Wouldn't surprise me if the evening version of his show appears there in the not too distant future. If that were to occur, he'd simply be replacing an out of market voice tracker.

My pleasure.

The "valley" areas of California get brutally hot in the summer. Sacramento, Fresno and Bakersfield all qualify. The latter two are particularly bad if you don't like heat.

WBBM has a full powered FM. 780 isn’t even promoted during reports. WABC has an FM repeater on Long Island- not sure how much that factors into ratings. WBBM AM and FM are rated separately by Nielsen, with FM way down the list. In any case, are you trying to argue that WJR's 1.7 share is inevitable...

Urban One's LMA of WGPR expired a few years ago.

Mike Aguilar will fill the vacancy created by Matt Gilcheck's departure. Mike and Ally will be hosting the B93 morning show together. As a result of this move, Aguilar will depart his role as producer on Mojo in the Morning. He will continue to voicetrack middays on WSNX. This is a good move. A plea...

Big market AM stations with 50 kW signals only go for a few million dollars at best these days. Even if Cumulus could get $5 million (unlikely) for unloading 760, the transaction likely would not make financial sense. Both WJR and WDVD are profitable. Cumulus just recently completed an exchange offe...

They are indeed airing the same programming for middays.

I would love to see video of the offense in question, but I've been unable to find any.

Scheffler supposedly dragged an officer (perhaps unknowingly) after being ordered to stop the vehicle, and said officer required medical treatment. That's quite a bit different than simply stopping peacefully 10 yards beyond where the instruction to stop was issued. Assuming the instruction was give...

Of course you do. You love crony capitalism.

I remember the era you are mentioning, but there is also a more recent, shorter lived era where WTRV took its music more up-tempo, too.

Tom Cook left the building nearly six years ago.

Duggan wants to put more hotels near Ford Field; that's what this is primarily about, I suspect. He gets to use state and federal tax monies for his pet project. The city has minimal to no skin in the game. Every project of this magnitude is funded by the feds, they're pulling up an Interstate. Thi...

I've never been a fan of Mara's reporting.

I will note 100.5 has used a similar playlist in the past. I do not recall if the one back then was a mirror image of WCRZ and/or WFMK.

100.5 then pivoted back to Soft AC perhaps a couple years ago? I am unsure on the timing.
