Re: Classic Rock WLAV ties its all time record low AQH share in latest Nielsens
Yup, the usual suspects would be the most likely candidates to buy the station if it were to be placed on the market - EMF, FLR (acquirer of 93.1 Detroit), VCY America and Relevant Radio. Stick value of 107.3 is probably somewhere within a range of $1.5 million to $2 million in the current climate....

Wasn't the Lansing Journal's distribution outsourced as well by Gannett?
they sound worse than MLive which destroyed the GR Press and A2 News.

Re: Classic Rock WLAV ties its all time record low AQH share in latest Nielsens
The GR cluster as a whole is profitable, I believe. They won't exit GR unless (a) they receive an attractive price and (b) they can unload the Muskegon stations concurrently. A somewhat more realistic scenario would be sale of a single "dog" station to a not-for-profit broadcaster. 107.3 WTNR fits ...

Re: Classic Rock WLAV ties its all time record low AQH share in latest Nielsens
Heck, 106.5 Jack FM plays more 90s alternative than LAV or even GRD! Sometimes even 94.5 such as Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC, Crucify by Tori Amos, What would you say By Dave Matthews band, or Fall on me by REM 94.5, 100.5 & 106.5 are the only stations I listen to regularly, there is a bit of overlap ...

Re: WLAV ties its all time record low AQH share in latest Nielsens
For some reason WLAV doesn't come in clear at all in my car, a 2013 Ford Taurus in Belding, it breaks up as soon as you hit the East beltline,
Didn't WLAV also hit a similar low around 1991/1992?

Re: Rewind: Vintage 1980 NewsCenter 8 WOTV Newscast
Smith-Groen Lumber at 2850 S. Division was known as Erb Lumber during my youth. That stretch of S. Division is loaded with Latino businesses these days, including that very same property. Plenty of taco stands to be had (literally). Are there still used car lots galore, or are those largely gone no...

I Imagine 104.5 From Saginaw went a few miles more south, and 104.1 from GR went a few miles east.

Re: How many different songs does WCSX play?
"play more variety.... but don't play songs I don't like (or don't know)". hose get tested, and come back bad. And the big players need to satisfy stock holders and the bottom line so much that they will do ANYTHING to keep their grip on the money. So if its a choice between playing a safe well tes...

Re: George Lessens retiring
Just saw this as well. It will give him 44 years at WZZM. The only other on camera job I've read of George having was on the old PBS program AM Weather, which was produced by Maryland Public Television. Likely only worked at those two jobs as it appears George was born around 1958 based on his age ...

Re: No Detroit CHR from 1994-98?
I said this before, but Q95.5 sounded like a Small city top 40 like 96.9 in Port Huron, 105.9 in Charlevoix or 107.9 in Cadillac.

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares - new results for GR, K'zoo and Muskegon
I noticed yesterday 105,3 has been playing songs that barely any top 40 or even 95.7 has been playing for years mixed in with the current top 40
Such as random songs from 2000 to 2016ish.
