Re: B-93 Birthday Bash... Stick a fork in it?
Reese and that bunch had EVERYTHING to do with why B-93 is listened to now. 20+ years of building a brand across and entire generation which of course has expanded into younger generations. You cannot tell me any station with all day/night voicetracking is "Standing on it's own" and is anywhere even...

Re: B-93 Birthday Bash... Stick a fork in it?
LOL - Let's see, A company buys up a heritage station, Eventually guts the whole staff, support staff and kills all of it's heritage events and you think he's bashing them because he got let go? Reese (and a few others) Built the entire brand so I think it's fair to say he has a leg to stand on here...

Re: B-93 Birthday Bash... Stick a fork in it?
Probably a combo of most of things... Iheart doesn't have anywhere near the staff to pull of an event like Birthday Bash back in the day. As Reese mentioned, most people vouluteered for a free t-shirt etc and the event made good money. Bottom line,if it doesn't bring in the cash, Iheart won't do it....

Does anyone really even listen much or care about local radio personalities anymore? How many shifts are even live anymore? Maybe a few mornings?

Re: WOOD TV goes dark during middle of Lions game
Inexcusable for a company of this size to have the BACKUP also fail. Stuff happens, but that's why there is a backup Generator etc in place for just reason which we can assume hasn't been tested or checked recently. Deregulation was a great for Media right? You can bitch at the local affiliates - bu...

That's right - YOU know the science!

The School closings things is not new - He was also doing in Lansing. It's not gospel, just like West Michigan weather forecasting is not perfect. Give the guy some credit, they've worked non-stop the last several days on air and online. Blake is clearly passionate about his job and is attempting to...

Re: Deltaplex Permanenty Closing in July 2022
Don't feel too bad for the guy. 5.5 MIL. Blaming the Pandemic is likely just an convienent excuse as his politics are clearly aimed at that view. At least the MAGA and My Pillow rallies won't be here this fall during election season. GR is due for another DP size venue - maybe we'll get a new (and n...

93.5 Howell
Ended up working in the Howell area and had a chance to scan the dial and tuned in 93.5 for a while during the day. Can't really tell the last time I listened to this station - but I will say it sounded really good. Any station that offers station tours on the website is a win in my book. :D When is...

Re: 1480 & 850 Shutting Down
They "Could" have kept this on the FM where it had been the last 6 months, but chose not to. The fact the station lasted as long as it did was a real blessing, but with anything - it comes down to money and politics. In the article it mentions there are already two other "Oldies" stations in town. I...

Re: New Weather Center Being Built at WOOD TV 8.
Do they still have the news set at the Public Museum? They could move over there. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Yes, it's actually at the Art Museum, the Public Museum is on the other side of the river. That space is VERY small - not a whole lot you could really do with it unless you covered...

Re: Jackie Green - Mrs. America
We had her at our business to do a remote. What an expensive mistake. She was rude to our customers and staff. That was a waste of money. It's clear that she's not a very nice person. Incredibly immature and delusional about her importance in any broadcast industry. Was quickly shown the door at 17...

Jackie Green has been in this market for 12 years and she has had time spent at WGRD FOX 17 WLAV and she has now been on The Gray and Green Show on WHTS for 2 1/2 years and just signed for another 3. She was not “shown the door” at either of her previous places of employment. Someone who is unkind ...
