WLDR hasn't been on since last October. It's getting close to the one-year cancellation date

Thanks for the additional details on that one. I hadn't been paying any attention to it since then, especially since it's hard to hear on an IBOC frequency and with The Mix in the way.

The catches of August 27th from my Empire Bluff site south of Empire, Mich., 445 feet above Lake Michigan, included some big signals up to 600+ miles to Minnesota and North Dakota. Conditions nearly mirror those of August 24 last year from my dune site 4 miles to the north, with signals also into th...

Does anybody know the status of the 100.5 Boyne City translator of The Fox FM? Has it turned off completely with the absence of its parent station or has it been broadcasting other content or being sold?

While I believe I had seen it in the past, I spotted this sticker in the park in Grand Rapids and got curious of its time and origins. The WCUZ calls were used from 1980 to 2000, paired with 1230 as a country station. I'm sure many people recall that (I really don't). Does anyone know what year or s...

In Grand Rapids (visiting my sister), I had a lot of stations in to the north/northeast (most of the big ones in the northern LP, several Detroit stations, four Cleveland stations, CKSY/CHYM). My highlights had to be getting 96.9 WWCM mixing with WLAV and managing to get around several translators ...

Here's a summary of tropo happenings in Fremont from the afternoon of Sept. 11th into the morning of the following day. A duct broke open into Pennsylvania on Friday afternoon, in which Star 104 was received steadily. After a nap, I awoke later in the night to find the first big eastern opening sinc...

It turns out that WBNZ is still on the air, though I'm unaware for how long it's been. I did some radio work at Sleeping Bear Dunes (some nice 600-mile tropo into the Dakotas on Thursday) and was surprised to run into the signal when looking for it. It's QUIET - I need to max out the volume to liste...

I suppose that someone locally could be sending the signal to the website via their own on-air reception. That could be entirely feasible. Especially if they are somewhere on the north or south end of the lakeshore coverage of WEMP, it would be VERY much expected to pick up Petoskey as my own recept...

I'll make my list much like ftballfan's list. Bold stations are the strongest on the dial. Stations which typically come in with RDS are noted as such. IBOC frequencies as well. Stations with more than one station usually heard include both. Those with no dominant station, such as 98.1 where it can ...

For all the time that WFUR was off the air, three stations were regularly heard here in Fremont and never any more than those. WFUR had a decent enough signal where it was quite difficult to ever null the station, so very few things were ever heard in town aside from Grand Rapids. W4 Country at 136 ...

Thank you! I seem to recall getting Tigers games on 97.7 back when. I always thought the ID said Sandusky but maybe not. One of those mornings where I'm getting something on almost every frequency. Your Tigers station on 97.7 is indeed Sandusky as the other 97.7 does not air the TIgers. Looks like ...

The new 102.9 is on the air, I heard them earlier talking about “the flesh” sounds a lot like 89.7 https://youtu.be/N_jnhmnSHqM I just wrote that two days before you :razz And yes, I suppose they do sound similar to Strong Tower sorta. They have their differences for sure, but I've spent a lot of t...

97.7 is a pretty horrible signal in Michigan (most of its signal goes into Ontario actually). You more likely heard 97.7 Beaverton which is one of the major night enhacement stations that ends up going longer distances with tropo. It's *possible* it was Sandusky given your location being Brighton th...

A friend in Lapeer sent me a clip of gospel music on 102.9 at 9pm tonight as heard on his radio. 102.9 Grand Rapids is a regular there. I turned on the radio and BBN is on the air now matching his clip. I just recorded a TOH ID from The Hog a few hours ago, so they must have signed on around 8pm, gi...

Did they dump 99.3 WQAN? I see no mention of the frequency on their site or Instagram now aside from in the description of their Instagram (which hasn't been updated as it doesn't include 94.5 and 106.3). I can't hear 99.3 here, if and when they are even on the air.
