I just wonder how long Cumulus will hang on to WJR before the for sale sign goes up on the front lawn. Both WDVD and WJR could possibly go for at least 13 million. Family Life paid 10 million for WDRQ.

I think the sign has been up for awhile. They sold WABC.

I'm surprised more hospice care facilities and funeral homes don't advertise on WJR. It's their demo. That is the demo. Along with Geritol complete, hemorrhoid surgery done dirt cheap, and Adjustable toilets seats! :D " Something Something Woke or go broke" " Blah Blah Lets go Brandon" " Yada yada ...

I'm not feeling well, and too tired to get out of my chair to change the station, so I'm torturing myself listening to the god awful MSU Today program on WJR. Man alive, I've heard vitamin infomercials that were more interesting than this mindless drivel. They're talking about the MSU Debate Team. ...

True, but I don't know why they would care about the MSU Debate Team either. That was a full hour of that nonsense.

Roy Henderson?

Oh wait, it says "good facilities"

My mistake.

Matt is just like the Hollywood writers who were on strike...he believes he's actually funny. :rolleyes Definitely a classless move to post an obit with the same name of someone with chronic health problems. And launching F bombs when he's called out. Clever. Imagine wasting 1,662 pages of memory i...

This is not good news. I've actually enjoyed 98.9, especially the "Blues you can use" show. Someone in Flint should try R&B Oldies.

Once in a blue moon I used to listen to WKEZ 96.1 from Holland. I could tolerate it in small doses; stationality was nowhere nearly as bland as WJOI. WKEZ used to play quite a few instrumental remakes of mainstream hit songs as part of its music mix. Some airchecks I heard of the old 93.1 WLTI were...

Yes, Gary Berkowitz was still consulting WKQI when Rick was there. I think Kevin O'Neill was doing mornings.

Quit while you're ahead. Walk away a winner.

An actual mainstream AC might've been a good choice in the late 90s! Certainly would've made more sense than Modern AC. Magic 105.1 did not launch until 2002, if I remember correctly. The first 18 months or so of WDVD were really bad. It was obvious people from New York were calling the shots. Once...

I'll see if I can find some old ratings summaries from R&R. I want to say WPLT was in the low 3s in ages 12+ when the shift to the boring Modern AC format occurred. While the CHR like presentation seems bizarre now, the music (aside from the asinine up-pitching of the audio, something many alternat...
