No Harry Hairston, no dice.

Anne is out?! That's dumb! I rarely was awake to hear her shift but know she had a great social media presence for the station.

Yet Casey uh kept his uh job at 106uhpoint7 WLLuhZ. And is probably still PD. Christ Almighty. Who does he have pictures of???

How SWEET! They waited until AFTER the holidays! Bless their hearts!

I'm not sure if I should start a new thread or add to this one? Due to the Passing of Neil Peart has there been an increase of Rush on Detroit radio? I'm not just talking about rock stations but any stations, (especially Canadian ones.) The only thing I've noticed is that during the NFL playoffs I ...

I'm with you. Love it all, but, gun to head? Sammy it is. But where I'm at, I get more Fox than WLEN on 103.9.

I am quite surprised that none of you have commented on the R&R AOR chart at the link I posted, and how different the AOR of yesterday is from the "Classic Rock" and "Active Rock" of today. The majority of the tracks on that chart are just...gone from OTA radio. The closest thing we have to a tradi...

Speaking of Van Halen, I heard "Without You" (Gary Cherone on vocals) on the radio last week. I don't think that song has gotten much airplay since 1998! What?!?! VH had someone other than Cubic Zirconium Roth singing? Well shit, I listen to Detroit radio, I'd have never known! Related: Kudos to WO...

There's an air check on YouTube of Arthur P. from early 1991. Even though I lived through it (they played SPIN DOCTORS back then), it still trips me out to hear WRIF playing Journey deep cuts (good luck getting La Do Da or whatever it's called on the air today), Asia, Joe Walsh... Wheels used to pla...

Mega Hertz

Without looking, three songs I remember hearing quite a bit on WRIF were "Feels So Good" by Van Halen, "No Smoke Without a Fire" by Bad Company and "Tall Cool One" by Robert Plant. 1988-89, obviously. How often do you hear those 3 on classic rock radio now?

Mega Hertz

I'm gonna do something UNHEARD OF on the internet. I was wrong. While I don't remember REM on either of our local AOR stations, there were obviously AOR stations that played them. Thank you for your corrections. A lot of you guys sound like my girlfriend and I. She cannot STAND AC/DC, and we've both...

Mega Hertz

Well that's fair because INXS got played on AOR in Detroit. I just don't remember hearing REM.

Mega Hertz

I'm not sure how "The One I Love" managed to test in (all these years, I might add). I'm not sure how any REM tests in...they weren't exactly AOR darlings... That's incorrect. Early REM was definitely played on AOR FM stations, including the 3 where I was employed. "The One I Love" debuted on WIOT ...

3 more radio stations will go 80s rock
Sweet! 3 more stations to play "Back in Black" 3 times a day!

A DAY!? More like an HOUR! I bet if I went downstairs and turned on my radio, someone either just played it, is playing it or is about to play it.

Some of the air talent has the energy level of dry chalk.

That's an insult to dry chalk.

Wait. They have an airstaff?
