Re: New Radio Ratings July 25

New numbers were posted at 5PM today; new all-time station record (12+) for 91.3 WCSG!

https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb127

WGRD and WSNX both took a bit of a hit, as did WKLQ. WLAV's rebound continues. Another solid book for WFGR. Blunder 107.3 nearly tied its all-time record low.

Re: What's your charity, MW?

I can click on an IP address of a post and see which user names have posted from the same IP. I can also click on a user name and see all the IPs from which that user has posted. (I can then click on those IPs to see if anyone else has posted from the same IP.) IP checking aside, it has become plain...

Re: What's your charity, MW?

I'm not fussy when it comes to charities, Honeyman. You're a good egg, I must say. :) American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, St. Jude's, The Salvation Army or Michigan Humane are all good by me, as is any area food pantry (Forgotten Harvest or Gleaners). Pick one or more of those you like. Chee...

Re: Roberta Jasina Loses her job

CBS 62 should consider hiring Roberta in some capacity. I assume WWJ will move either Jackie Paige, Brooke Allen, or Erin Vermeulen to mornings, unless JoAnne Purtan is moved from WOMC to WWJ. For those who do not follow the radio industry, Audacy recently announced it would be eliminating about fiv...

Re: Roberta Jasina Loses her job

I predicted David Field and crew would do this the day the CBS Radio - Entercom marriage occurred.

Remember when Audacy (Entercom) fired staffers as stations were spinning Christmas music?

Detroit actually hasn't fallen victim to the budget ax quite as badly as some of their other markets.

Re: Roberta Jasina Loses her job

By far the worst part of this ordeal - her husband was diagnosed with cancer the day after Audacy downsized her. I feel terrible for Roberta and her family. I would not wish that one-two punch on anybody. I certainly do hope she received a generous severance package. The fact she wasn't allowed a fi...

Re: 105.5 WQQO Toledo

Cumulus wants button pushers leaving XKR to go to RQN and vice versa. To that end, some reasonable artist overlap makes sense. In Detroit, WRIF still plays some dinosaur rock artists spun by CSX. Recently, CSX has begun devoting spins to Pearl Jam, RHCP, Collective Soul and similar artists. Sticking...

That is my mistake, and I thank you for correcting my error. I must be confusing him with someone else.

Friggin' WWJ 950

They've turned their IBOC HD radio noise machine back on.

Not quite as crappy sounding as the last time it was in use, but still a noticeable downgrade in analog audio quality.

Hopefully, the reactivation proves to be temporary.

Agreed. Station is underachieving big time.

So, they poached someone from channel 7. I knew I recognized that name. The plot thickens. :)

I hear classic hits stations played inside businesses all the time.

Most people don't want to listen to slow, sleepy music at work.

Re: NOAA Weather Radio On again, Off again

Not sure if it's even technically feasible, but is it possible the TX shuts off automatically if there is no phone line audio after a certain length of time?

It does seem odd that most NWS offices attribute most weather radio service outages to phone line issues.

Relying on old fashioned phone lines is about as wise as relying on the Lions to win a playoff game. 😁
