Christmas Is Here

Star has made it's annual flip to Christmas music as of about 7am this morning. Considering I had to scrape the truck before work it didn't feel so out of place, but it still seems too early. Weirdly enough when I flipped over to the River they were playing Ghostbusters? Are we still doing Halloween...

Latest numbers?
WCSG-FM Christian CHR Cornerstone University 8.0 8.3 9.5 8.0
WBCT-FM Country iHeartMedia 8.5 8.1 8.4 6.8

Simply pathetic.
CSG has often been near the top (or beating) B93, it simply wasn't reported in the commercial ratings prior to the last decade.

Re: Rob Brandt retiring

From Rob's FB, unfortunately it didn't appear to be his decision: And Now; The Rest Of The Story: My contract ended on 12/31/22 & was not renewed. Almost 2 weeks ago I was presented with a contract for A LOT less money & a new position (same show time). I did not accept the terms of the new contract...

Former WSNX PD Succumbs To Cancer At 54

JT has lost his battle against cancer.

John Thomas and Keith Curry were instrumental in solidifying WSNX as the premiere Top 40 station in Grand Rapids in the late 90s, crazy to think that they're both gone now.

Re: WYCE Is Getting An EEO Audit

This probably isn't going to go smoothly for them. Unlike the big companies, they probably don't have a real system to track their EEO practices. Plus GRCMC has already been dealing with investigations going back to 2016.

Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV

After prerecorded shows have been running for weeks, Tony Gates has been pulled off the website.

Did Cumulus just fire their last cash cow? Was he too expensive for the new management?

It's fine to leave for a new job. However, it seems particularly disloyal to leave a station where one has spent his entire career to go to the direct competition.

Re: Can the last one at DRQ turn out the lights?

Station flips are expensive. I think they’ll stay the course. Yeah, I don't think they'll flip. As I mentioned on another thread, I think they'll just plug in Koffy and call it good. No one's left and I can't see Cumulus restaffing for the third best Country station in the market. It's weird how ba...

Can the last one at DRQ turn out the lights?

After losing their morning show host Krissy Williamson late last year to sports marketing and their program director Lance Tidwell last month in an unexplained ousting, DRQ is losing it's most well known personality Josh 'Bru' Brubaker (aka CEO of Radio Tik Tok) to Amp in LA: radioink.com/2021/03/22...

Re: 4 Country Stations in Detroit-Windsor

Last Detroit radio ratings had WYCD as #11 in the market. Why three other stations thought that county would be a ratings winner does baffle me. You would of got more ratings simulcasting some of these AM stations like WWWJ or WJR on FM. Cumulus and Bell at least don't care about ratings. They just...
