...for the outrageously inaccurate 12-hour & 24-hour forecasts you provided for Thursday, March 28 & Friday, March 29. Nice job! Recall the forecast for Thursday was for grey skies, scattered showers, and highs in the mid to maybe upper 50's. Instead, we saw several straight hours of partly cloudy o...

While this is indeed frustrating, the ability of health providers to use auto insurance as corporate welfare is by far the biggest reason our rates are sky high. Insurance companies have to reimburse health providers for their outrageously high charges, which in turn jacks up rates for everyone. Rat...

This is unfathomable: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2019/03/28/accused-mexican-drug-smuggler-skips-court-after-posting-200-bond/3287945002/ Why aren't the MORONS in Detroit's pathetic local news media clinging to the chief judge in the 34th district likes flies on shit fo...

Switching to ABC would be a bad idea for WXMI. Their expanded morning newscast has become quite popular and brings in more local ad revenue than avails during Today or GMA. WXMI would lose its 10PM newscast and all the ad revenue that goes along with it. WZZM has been in third place in 11PM newscast...

In recent years - most distant FM station was 93.9 WMIA-FM from Miami Beach, FL. Heard it near Brighton and again near Grand Ledge while driving along I-96. In the late 90's, I received a few FM stations from western Texas on a stereo boombox at my childhood home near Grand Rapids. Most distant AM s...

WTCM-FM has more live & local voices than many stations in Detroit and Grand Rapids.

I believe Cumulus is either a non-subscriber or only pays for a partial subscription.

Want to hear a truly hideous AM radio section on OEM equipment? Drive a Hyundai. Every Hyundai rental cal I drove between 2014 and 2016 had AM fidelity that sounded worse than GI Joe walkie-talkies. I would be stunned if there was even 1.5 kHz worth of audio bandwidth.

WJBK & the Fox corporate family are the big winners. WJBK's newscasts had abysmal ratings and prime time ratings weren't that hot, either, leading up to the affiliation switch. The 10 PM news, and later, an expanded morning newscast with a completely different look & feel from the newscasts of the C...

While I'm not happy to hear of his poor health, the guy motherfucked any chance of auto insurance reform in the state, because he was in a bad accident while not wearing a seat belt. I do agree that this fact made the auto insurance reform hill much tougher to climb. That said - within the last yea...

The fact the Cook County, IL prosecutor decided to drop all charges is nothing short of despicable. While I definitely share your concern that a conviction would be far from a slam dunk, that certainly doesn't mean the prosecutor should abandon the effort to try the case in court. The fact Smollett ...

That final tip-in attempt was literally in the hands of the basketball gods, who apparently are Duke fans. I thought it was going in.

Agreed!

That above the rim replay camera angle was incredible. The fat part of the ball was directly over the hoop!

If they're concerned about the finite pie, and cannibalization, then why do the likes of iHeart, Entercom, and Beasly buy clusters of stations? The reason is because they don't duplicate programming, and they can make money off each. If a country station has 2 or 3 country subchannels, they're dupl...

As expected, Entercom rapidly tossed the "Nash FM" brand to the curb in NYC.

94.7 WNSH-FM is now simply known as "New York's Country 94-7."

Radio ad revenue is, for the most part, a finite pie. Spending more money on HD side channels is only going to lead to ratings cannibalization of primary stations.

HD radio was intended to serve as a marketing gimmick to make lame AM/FM radio look "cool." That effort has failed miserably.
