Re: Nielsen Detroit radio ratings

106.7 The Fan isn't happening and will never happen. IFart is in the middle of yet another round of slaughtering air talent, and you think they'll put a 'live n local' sports format on 106.7 and make a play for PBP rights? :lol After the joke that was sports on 105.1 I believe you're stuck with The ...

Re: WOMC hires a Jim Johnson successor!

impressive resume and all, but his credentials listed are mainly country. Lots of classic hits talent on the beach.
No disrespect whatsoever, I'm sure he's a solid talent, just seems an odd hire.

Re: Holiday 2023 ratings

Haven’t listened to terrestrial radio in years. WDET was the last time I listened when they were music centric. Just seems like a thing of the past to me now. Who listens to AM. 😂 And yet here you are, on a radio message board. :lol I'm the same way. Never watched the UFC but sure do love to check ...

WJR only 2.4 but they must have high billing, how much money can they make running Victor's Roofing ads?
It's an election year.
They'll be fine.

Re: No Detroit CHR from 1994-98?

As someone who was on both Q955 and 93-1 DRQ in the era being discussed, I'm enjoying the Hell out of this thread. Great memories. Detroit's 11 in a row Continuous Hit Music Station. Cringe. That was the brainchild of Guy Zapoleon, who was format captain. Even when they rebranded to Channel(March 20...

Aside from The Ticket occasionally, listening to the Detroit idiocy stations are like walking through a dead mall.

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

Chuck Gadica was on as the guest host this morning on WOMC. I wonder if Gadica will end up getting the job as JJ's full-time replacement. I think he'd be a solid choice for WOMC. I'd be surprised if Exitcom was willing to spend that kind of money though to bring in Gadica as a full-time host. They'...

Re: WJR, boring programming

Help me understand How is a #16 rated station a ‘cash cow’. WJR is sold on emotion, not ratings. As you yourself said, older listeners reminiscing. Older reminiscing advertisers who've been buying Paul W. etc. for years keep them in business. Sports probably brings in the most coin though. Maybe Ma...

Re: WJR, boring programming

I just wonder how long Cumulus will hang on to WJR before the for sale sign goes up on the front lawn. Both WDVD and WJR could possibly go for at least 13 million. Family Life paid 10 million for WDRQ. WJR is a cash cow for Cumulus. That would have to be a helluva offer. Who's gonna make it? Audicy...

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

Post Covid, peoples routines have changed. Drive time's have changed. Listening habits have changed, especially with a lot of remote/hybrid work still going on. Morning shows are less relevant than ever. Half the people I know who work remote sleep in now. Which is why a lot of morning show's go wel...

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

I totally agree. Audacy is in deep financial trouble. The station could just be non-stop music mornings with traffic and weather on the 10’s. There's an old story about a couple that went camping because they both thought the other one enjoyed it. As the years went by they figured out neither one r...

Re: Ratings Day in Toledo

If Cumulus wants 105.5 to hyper target female listeners, bring back the Star 105 or 3WM brands and go AC to target River head-on. "105FM, 3WM" was pulling 7's and 8's when I was there. Fred North & the Morning Crew, and Buddy Carr to drive you home in the afternoon. It was straight ahead AC, but wi...
