Regardless of what Michigan fans think, the affiliate agreements all get honored on Saturday night, as 96.1 carries Grand Valley-Edinboro, 101.3 has Western's broadcast from Spartan stadium and George Blaha is heard on 106.9/1300 stating MSU's case against the Broncos.

weathernut, your brief suggestion to check the Spartan Sports Network affiliate page shows the GR outlet as WBBL, 107.3. No help found there, can't tell by your name if you are a tree nut or a legume. 96.1 has been where iHeart GR parked Grand Valley football, so it's not entirely "open," format thi...

I reached out to a Facebook friend who is a heartbeat away from iHeart GR's choice-making and you are right, primarily 96.1, always Spartan games on an FM signal, with 101.3 the likely landing place when there are Grand Valley/MSU conflicts. It seems that Michigan fans would raise some sort of stink...

What Cumulus signal will be carrying the Michigan State-Tulsa football game? The Spartan Sports Network website says it's 107.3 WBBL, which shows a general lack of attentiveness from the content bearers for my alma mater. I will actually be at the Steely Dan/Rick Derringer concert at Soaring Eagle, ...

Jay was at WOOD and left just as they were set to carry Whitecaps games, where he would have been in the booth with Rick Berkey as their first broadcast team in 1994. That didn't alienate him with the Clear Channel crowd, as he filled in as 1300's morning show sports guy on many occasions in the yea...

So, Andy Dirks was on the Tigers' broadcasts yesterday, is that the first time he has filled in? I can't say that I listen to every game to catalog such incidence. One thing is for sure, the fact that I had to find out his identity via a Facebook thread and Twitter proves that Dickerson is not an el...

Art Vuolo reports that Liggett died at the age of 76 from pancreatic cancer. Many others who frequent this board probably had more vivid recollections of Liggett as an owner/operator, but I found WFMK to be a first-class sounding operation from my time in the market, going from student to part-timer...

FOX 17 got to Amash at the Hollyhock Parade on the 4th, WGVU Radio (their only outlet I monitor) caught up with him at the EGR Parade on the 4th.

WWMT has a young lady, Mikenzie Frost, serving as a political reporter, having cut her teeth in Helena, Montana.

Times are changing, Rick is aging.

I made the choice to not consume Mitch Albom in the fall of 1988, and I go back occasionally, including just now, to read the column that drove me from him. https://www.mitchalbom.com/mark-messner-never-at-a-loss/ When I read the piece now, it doesn't bother me as much as it did then, but I still do...

Apparently, they (WOOD and WOTV4Women) got dropped one overnight, earlier this week. I have a small mind, but running a banner at the bottom of the screen after the fact, telling those subscribers who have lost these outlets to call a toll-free number and demand restoration doesn't make a lot of sen...

The ghost of Fred Krell will rise up and restore order, with regard to "Listen to the Mrs." To understand the reference, you would have to be old enough to remember the host of LOTM in the 70s, probably the 80s too. I recall as a kid, listening to him parrot the recipes that ladies would offer him a...

[quote=Bobbert post_id=575358 time=1560296518 user_id=14816] - - The last broadcast of Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey from Baltimore in 1991. That alone would have made it unique, but the emotion of the moment blended with the emotion of the closing of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. Both Paul and Ernie...

A news/talk radio station where I worked would have live casts on, holiday mornings till 10 a.m., ran a rotation of canned reports through noon, then loaded the 5-minute network casts into the automation from 12 p.m. on. The same station now has no local news content on Sundays. Things change, or ap...

I never worked at WZZM, but I have seen plenty of comment pass on the Buzzboard over the years about how she moved the pieces around off 3 Mile, mostly knocking their results in the ratings and regarding their on-air product.

Any thoughts? "I don't watch local TV News" is a non-qualifying response.
