Re: Ron Cameron
Mr. Positive doing the "Coolio" on Ron, talking from the throne. Mr. P then throws fresh meat at RSizzle with a "what of Jim Price?" question.

Re: Jim Price
I sure feel he worked in the last month/six weeks, but it has been sporadic this season.
His on-air catch phrases were hard to handle but when I met him, he was very nice to me and certainly stood fast for the Tigers. Rest in Peace.

Re: Retro TV on WLLA 64
WLLA brought MeTV to West Michigan quite some time ago, (a decade plus) I think RetroTV was the only other non-religious channel they offered and it was 64.3 then. As to their technical/graphic capabilities, the OTA signal clicks out on the order of every ten days, for several hours at a time. I got...

Re: Ron Cameron
Ron bemoaned the "last place" Yankees, asserting they were below .500 in the AL East. It's 50-47, Sir, heading into the weekend series with the Royals.
Also, please remember hereafter that Detroit's Alex DeBrincat is "this kid..."

Rick ran for Congress in 1986 (or a Rick Albin did), in Arkansas and lost to BIll Alexander by around 30 points. I recall the factoid in his earlier bios, but time passes.

Re: Clio NOT Cleo
In the days where there were regional movie distributions of "B" Grade material such as "Toklat," a 1971 nature flick (Man and Grizzly), the small town theatre circuit would buy TV time and Yes, you were quite certain of hearing CLEE-oh, or Oh-SKA-dah for Oscoda. I had my own issues with Walled (WAL...

Re: WJR SUV up north
Statman oughta know, having been raised in Cadillac.
Clare always had "Gateway to the North" on a venerable billboard, decades back, which indicates you're almost there. I would say M-55 could serve as the border.

Re: And now, a classic aircheck from 104.5 WSNX from January 1995
Small potato being thrown here, but the Top of the Rock was where the Gerber Collision shop is, south of Vitality Drive on Alpine NW. There had been a bar/restaurant with bands down where the Alpine Township Hall is, (Cleo's?) 6 Mile and Alpine, and before Fricano's, us long time locals enjoyed Mr. ...

Re: February Ratings for G.R.
Considering that he does morning and evening rush traffic, and is no longer youthful, those verbal foot faults can take place. I had other station's calls and branding come to mind, especially while in the indentured servitude mode of "Hub and Spoke" service to other corporately owned signals. I soo...

Re: WZZM newscast from 1966!
The cryptic weather and sports were my favorite segments. The graphics and slides to set the scene for particular sports reports brought back memories, along with the magnetic weather boards.

Re: WWJ 950
Some of the best advice I received early in my career came from a broadcast vet, Rick D'Amico, who went from radio in the Midwest (Battle Creek, Lansing included) to a long television career in Phoenix. He took a hunk of wire and offered some pointers on the "cold read." This included the notion of ...

Re: Mock Draft Radio
WMVP, the ESPN supported sports talker in Chicago draws an 1.0 rating, while WCSR (my morning commute listen in West Michigan) has a 1.7 it's only two spots up as of Feb '23, with WLS in between. Sure can't tune in AM 1000 very easy these days where I am, and once again I read they are the White Sox...
