Re: Major snowstorm brewing

Below are some Port Huron and S.W. Ontario links. This looks like it's going to be a massive storm. It's just too soon to tell who is going to get a direct hit from the worst of it at this point. https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/mi/port-huron/42.97,-82.45 https://weather.com/en-CA/weather/te...

Re: Put up a 5 ele FM beam feeding a Sony XDR-F1HD

There is another FM Yagi out right now. The company that makes it is known as ClearConX. https://tdlcanada.ca/collections/clearconx/products/anccfm8 https://www.rpssat.com/products/copy-of-channel-master-cm-9521-complete-antenna-rotor-rotator-with-ir-remote-cm9521a https://essexcountyantenna.com/fm-...

Re: Noticeable playlist additions at Alt 98.7

WLLZ was owned by CBS back then. The company became known as Infinity Radio for a while. WLLZ would have picked Howard Stern mornings and Smooth Jazz would ended up on 97 FM.

December Radio Ratings

New Country 93.1 (WDRQ) might flip before Alt 98.7 does.

Re: Predictions for 2022

Pure Country 89 (CIMX) will continue to lag behind the other Country stations in its listening area. Someone will apply for a new Sarnia radio station and the CRTC will make a decision one way or the other before the end of the year. 103.9 FM in Woodstock, ON will become a simulcast of AM 980 CFPL w...

Re: Could Alt 98.7 move to WWJ Simulcast?

Could happen any day now. Alternative is not a ratings powerhouse in Detroit. Bell (Canada), IHeart, and now Audacy know this all too well. There might even be a day when WJR is heard on 93.1 FM.

Canadian Numeris Radio Ratings - Fall 2021

I think I'll let the Windsor radio ratings speak for themselves this time. They are listed after London and before Sudbury. On both my home PC and the PC at my workplace they are on page 17. https://numeris.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/PDFs/Radio-Reports/Radio-Diary/EN/2021_Fall_Radio_DI_TopLineReport...

Re: Audacy flipping 97.1 L.A. to KNX simulcast

It would be interesting if Cumulus made 93.1 WJR-FM and sold off that big AM 760 signal to Audacy. That would eliminate WWJ's signal difficulties at night (by moving from 950 to 760). This is very unlikely and I would imagine that there is a much greater chance of 98.7 FM becoming a simulcast of AM ...

Re: October 2021 ratings

Alt 98.7 is now a year old and still underperforming. I can see it either becoming a simulcast of 950 WWJ or flipping to Rhythmic A.C. is the near future.

Re: Will Family Radio eventually exit terrestrial radio

Pardon my spelling. I meant New Jersey. Here are the stations and the cities they transmit from. 570 WMCA / 820 WNYC - Kearny (I doubt that Salem would co-operate with Family Radio) 620 WSNR / 710 WOR / 1010 WINS / 1190 WLIB - Lyndhurst 930 WPAT / 1430 WNSW - Clifton 970 WNYM / 1330 WWRV - Hackensac...

Re: Will Family Radio eventually exit terrestrial radio

We might see AM 1560 New York diplex with another AM transmitter site. There are a number of them in Ney Jersey that target the NYC metro area. They also might come back with a little bit less than 50,000 watts. Right now 550 WGR and 1520 WWKB in Buffalo are both combined.

Re: 1450 WHLS missing from the AM dial lately

I checked 550 WGR with a CCRadio 2e at a picnic table away from my apartment building and it turns out that it is not quite as weak as I thought. It just gets attenuated (reduced) in my apartment more so than a number of other AM stations. The same thing happens to 680 from Toronto.

They are on both AM 1230 and 92.5 FM. When I checked wikipedia still listed them as a Classic Rock station.

Re: Coming in fron London

On hwy #401 in Ontario 104.3 WOMC almost always seems to make further to the NE than the rest of the Detroit FM signals.
They are 190 KW at 110 meters or 360 feet above average terrain.
