Re: Power 96 Miami goes 100% Rhythmic Throwbacks

I think this will prove to be a great move for Power 96. Longtime residents of South Florida have fond memories of this station from the 1990s.

The playlist is very similar to 105.1 The Bounce.

Re: Goodrich looks to transfer WPRR FM 90.1 to Tyrone Bynum

Rural Allegan County is certainly a weird place to put a radio station whose original purpose was to air primarily programming from Pacifica. The city of Allegan (population ~5,000) was the largest town within the predicted 50 dBu contour. Allegan is also barely within the predicted 60 dBu contour. ...

Lions' winning percentage with Matt Millen as GM: .270

Lions' winning percentage with Bob Quinn as GM: .420 (significantly worse, though, when removing the first two years under his reign where Jim Caldwell was head coach.)

Pistons' winning percentage with Troy Weaver as GM: .233

Re: Current Windsor A 25-54 ratings

Cool - thanks for sharing!!! 88.7 is performing better than I expected in 25-54 (and curiously enough is tied with 93.9!) while 96.7 is doing worse than I expected. 97.5 Virgin Radio's numbers in London is amazingly strong. I doubt there is any CHR station in a market of similar size in the U.S. wit...

Re: BEASLEY DET VP accepts retirement package

Makes sense; thanks for the info.

I've lost track of which person is programming WMGC and WDMK these days.

Re: Multiple outlets report Troy Weaver is done!

Yup. He wasted no time at all disposing of Weaver, so my first impression of him is a highly positive one. :)

Re: Multiple outlets report Troy Weaver is done!

Isn't that what Langdon more or less will be doing? There are also reports he has hired Michael Blackstone, VP of basketball operations for the Pelicans, to join him in Detroit. 2024/2025 will likely be another waste of a year as that tandem works to purge the garbage Weaver brought here. We should ...

Re: Current Windsor A 25-54 ratings

Thanks for the info! The fact 88.7 cannot beat 95.9 is hilarious. I'm guessing 88.7 is drawing around a 3 share, which means it still draws a much smaller percentage of Windsor radio listening than during most of the station's tenure as 89X. 93.9 does sound halfway decent. A lot more effort seems to...

Re: LMAO @ freep.com

It is nice to know the Freep (finally) realized the story still deserves prominent coverage. In view of folks who might not have kept tabs on the news yesterday evening and might check headlines first thing in the morning, it strikes me as very odd that the Freep wouldn't make an effort to give the ...

Re: Should convicted felons be allowed to vote?

If any sentence has already been served, all fines paid and any probationary period completed, those with felony convictions should be allowed to vote.

LMAO @ freep.com

I guess an unprecedented felony conviction of a former President (and current candidate for that same office) is not considered major news by The Detroit Free Press? Eight or nine stories on their home page receive higher billing than this one! At detnews.com, Trump's jury conviction is the top stor...

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

Do you know how many people are in prison thanks to an overzealous attorney?
A sickeningly high number, I'm sure.

The Innocence Clinic at the U-M Law School is a wonderful organization.
