I hated WGRD's playlist when I was in town earlier in the week. It's a butt rock bonanza.
I hate most “active rock” stations programmed by Clownsquare (like Banana 101.5] as the butt rock is commonplace. I’m sorry but 70’s Aerosmith doesn’t belong on there…

Re: Z 93.5 WKQZ in 1986

I assumed the idiot initial poster fucked up the frequency - I wasn't aware that Z93 was originally at 93.5... It was WRCI. The station played "Adult Contemporary" music and was hyper-focused on Midland. I believe the studio and tower were co-located on Gordonville Rd, in my hazy memory. Ben Zonia ...

Although, was this a story from 25 or some other newsroom?

Re: Anyone Have a Chevy Equinox?

If you’re buying an used Equinox, look at the VIN. If it starts 3, avoid it as it’s made in Mexico. If it starts with 2, it’s made in Canada. Former co worker had 2 Equinox’s. Said the first one had given him trouble (it was a 2015 model year or so). He was going to buy a new Toyota RAV4 but got gre...

Am I guessing that your afternoon female jock is leaving?
Additionally, I love having Max on. Her voice is PERFECT for the genre, IMO. Great Classic Rock knowledge, as well.
Considered reaching out to Karen Savally? She tracks middays for both 106.7 WLLZ and Real Rock 105/95.5 in Traverse

Re: The 12 Days of Free SXM

My wife and I have had it since 2003 when they were 2 separate companies (we had XM). It’s gotten to the point where there’s no way we’d go without it in our personal vehicles. We can’t stand the commercials on regular radio and SXM’s variety of stations / formats is outstanding. I generally listen ...

Re: Tables turned on TV5, employees freak

These yahoos were up in my neck of the woods earlier this year walking around the county building and county jail with their cameras.They tried to provoke county employees into giving them a reaction. Our county Sheriff followed them to make sure they didn’t go to far. For them to go around a privat...

Re: Funny incidents calling radio stations

This happened while I was in Kansas City back in the mid 80’s. Local newspaper had an article that an AC station out there was allegedly pursuing the morning man Max from the local top rated rock station in town (KY102). Less than a week later, he does a bit, trying to get a reaction, by playing a B...
