Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares - new results for GR, K'zoo and Muskegon

a LPFM would be number 1 in muskegon without the cancerous "big media" companies here. muskegon is fucking fed up with everything farmed in and gets this crap rammed up their ass while the national ads play for pennies on the dollar to local money.

Re: TV meteorologists

I’ve been forecasting for longer than Blake has been alive. I’m pretty sure I’m more than qualified to comment on the pseudo science he claims to use to forecast school closings. It’s not a technique that’s scientifically authenticated by any real meteorological accreditation source, Luke the AMS, ...

Re: WGRD is the new top dog in latest Arbs

Dropping stuff like "the New BIG..." and "The Fun Hits..." begs the notion of having someone to do that kind of Work! I haven't been in corporate radio for nearly a decade but would say there ain't no one on site to take up the tasks of brand management. I hear Michelle McCormick doing evening voic...

Not a H*** fan of Zakk, but he has played some epic riffs throughout his career... Absolutely. It might seem strange but I think that most of my issue with Wylde are not just the constant squealing notes as much as it is his association with modern Ozzy.

Re: 94.5 KLQ in the late 1990s

I remember that day well. I was listening when Jonathan called in! About blew out my cheap stock speakers in the car when "Blind" was played that afternoon. Good times. :horns KLQ was a phenomenal station from 1998 until early 2002. I even enjoyed the station's brief run with alternative in 1997 to...

Re: 94.5 KLQ in the late 1990s

I know around that time the principal of Zeeland High School suspended a student for wearing a Korn t-shirt to school. Not sure if this had any part of what you are referring to or not with KLQ. (I may have the year wrong-I only remember that it was in the 1995-2000 time frame) some kid got kicked ...

all due respect, and no insult intended but - "They would also lose the adjacency they have to 104.5 when people hit seek.

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: And now, a classic aircheck from 104.5 WSNX from January 1995

Good story and thanks for the info. I do remember riding past the Top of the Rock when I was a young lad. I remember hearing a ton of commercials on the radio for the Apple Core Lounge in the late 80s to perhaps very early 90s, a bar near Gun Lake that evidently featured local bands. apple core was...
