rock and classic rock are dying formats - the big band format for boomers and X'ers
WGRD and WRIF are almost always top 3 performers in Adults 25 to 54 and Adults 18 to 49.

The same also holds true for Rock stations in Seattle, Philly, San Diego, Tampa, Minneapolis and elsewhere.

Re: WLAV ties its all time record low AQH share in latest Nielsens

For some reason WLAV doesn't come in clear at all in my car, a 2013 Ford Taurus in Belding, it breaks up as soon as you hit the East beltline, Didn't WLAV also hit a similar low around 1991/1992? Ford OEM radios of that era have decent reception, so unless you have an antenna defect of some kind, I...

That would have been when Adams sent Mel and Frank to town to fix things. They hated Grand Rapids.
I believe WLAV never fell lower than the mid or upper 3 share range in the early 90s. Given the station's numbers in the 80s (and KLQ's massive numbers at the time), that was still considered poor.

WLAV ties its all time record low AQH share in latest Nielsens

I've only seen WLAV as low as a 2.7 share one other time, if I remember correctly. The other time was maybe a decade ago when John Dickey decided the station should run a super tight playlist reminiscent of WLUP in Chicago at the time. I suspect Tony Gates' longtime listeners are not warming up to G...

Re: I am actually going to compliment WJR!

I will say Jim Harper's early Saturday morning chat fest is not bad. Kam Carmen is his co-host.

Perhaps he should've been given the weekday morning reins instead of Guy Gordon. Jamie Edmonds adds nothing to Guy's show; she should stick to TV.

Re: Where’s Cricket? Kristi Noem Defends Killing Her Dog

If the dog were violently attacking a person or were seriously ill, I'd be OK with someone killing it in the manner used here.

The circumstances didn't warrant the action that was taken.

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage

The modulation doesn't seem unusual (it's the same mediocre strength it's been for a long time), but I can definitely hear the hum, especially during non-music content.

I am actually going to compliment WJR!

Sometime late last year or earlier this year, they FINALLY fixed their distorted, excessively loud audio.

The processing sounds great now!

Re: Where’s Cricket? Kristi Noem Defends Killing Her Dog

You're missing the point. So let me ask you 2 questions: In your opinion, is a pet one's personal property? In your opinion, is a fetus the personal property of its mother? As far as "caring so damn much," that's not really the case. I would probably be considered as a centrist by most when it come...

I suspect Meijer's backtracking on Trump is the main reason Amash entered the race.
