Re: Ron Cameron

I'm a former Detroit native now living elsewhere on the Lakes and I'm just now learning that Ron Cameron has passed. I read the article written by Jared Ramsay in the Freep. He made multiple factual errors in R.C. history. On radio, he was heard on WMZK-FM 98.7 from 1977-1978. It would not switch to...

Re: The new 910AM News Talk Superstation

I'm in total agreement with Dan in Northville and ZenithCKLW. Let's face it OTA radio stations have been hyping themselves as "Playing a Better Variety of Hit Music" for decades when a better promo line is "We Play a Better Variety of the Same S*@t Everybody Else is Playing Ad Nauseum." OTA radio an...

Re: Steve Asplund retiring

Regardless of what little you know, BG, Steve Asplund is the consummate professional and went a long with helping TV6 News become a very credible news organization. I know. I worked with him. No slap at Andrew LaCombe, but when Steve signs off for good WLUC will be losing a lot of experience and ins...

IIRC,

This guy wrote in a book or an article that he was willing to be assassinated to protect Nixon. GGL was WAAAAYYYYY OUT THERE. Between him and Donald Lobsinger, I can only say no great losses.

Re: Limbaugh Has Died

Didn't applaud his death nor shed a single tear for him. Didn't listen to him, didn't care what he had to say and not mourning over him now. I just didn't like the man and never will.

Re: Loss of Limbaugh, Retirement Of Beckman And Others, May Force Changes At WJR

If Cumulus doesn't have the resources and vision, another company may buy it and bring it back to its more rightful respect and place in the Neilsen Ratings. This would mean more competition with WWJ, and may even force simulcasts on FMs like WBBM and WCFS, and closer to home, WOOD (AM) and WOOD-FM...

This can be explained simply. Hank Aaron had talent and soared. RC just wishes he had some and keeps tanking.

Re: Will WJR Soon Drop Talk For All News?

That would be intriguing if it was patterned like WBBM, KYW, WCBS. WJR had a great news presence, even with WWJ, in it's pre-talk and early ABC days. The problem is that so many of the people who made WJR News a stellar operation left or retired. Cumeless in its lack of wisdom reduced its costs at t...
