Re: People in Washtenaw County love WUOM

One book from one diary keeper with a lot of documented listening is probably good enough for a 0.9 share.

Lucy Ann Lance probably draws listeners. She's been a fixture on local radio for many years.

Re: The Roar 93.5/99.1

The funny thing is - 99.1 was off the air completely for at least 60 days earlier this spring & summer, and it seems nearly no one noticed! :lol Station has been back on for a few weeks (at most) and seems to be broadcasting at reduced power. To quote a famous move line: "Zero...point...zero." (Thei...

Re: DX report - Saturday, 7/23

About WDKL, I still see the old WBRB site tower is still there at 14 MIle and Gratiot. Did WDKL abandon that facility ? Their new permanently licensed facility is near the corner of 10 Mile Rd and Greenfield in Oak Park. They broadcast from the same tower used by 93.1. WDRQ and 105.9 WDMK. What's i...

Re: Fly lands in Orlando

That "other signal" will probably be a crappy translator or HD-2 / HD-3. As for 103.1, the new format choice is a smart one. I'm stunned country lasted as long as it did given multiple years of terrible ratings (ironically, the ratings began to improve within the past year). With both WJHM and WPYO ...

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

The new 10 PM newscast on WKBD is arguably the worst I've ever seen in this market. They managed to take an already bad product and make it a 100x worse! Even the INN-produced newscast that briefly aired on TV 20 (before its newscast was outsourced to a sister station in Fort Wayne) was better than ...

Re: The Roar 93.5/99.1

The national programming from SportsMap (what an insipid name!) is particularly awful. Do any of the shows take callers? I don't I've ever heard any.

The local and national shows alike probably realize extremely few people are listening, hence the lack of call-in opportunities.

Re: Alex Jones In Court

I've gotta stick up for Craig here.

It is clear from the context of his post that he wasn't using the word "woke" pejoratively.

He was actually criticizing the anti-woke.

People in Washtenaw County love WUOM

I think this might be a new record high for the current format, and perhaps, in the long history of the station:

Also cannot remember the last time W4 was as low as a 2.8 share. I think that might've happened only one other time.

Re: Banking in Times of Covid

Got back from Florida last week. I thought for sure it would be over by now. But I went to the bank yesterday and they were lined up right out into the street. I was on my bike, so I just went to the drive thru ATM. I only visit my local bank branch a few times a year, and often, I'm the only custo...

Re: Alex Jones In Court

How detrimental was it for Sandy Hook parents to make a big deal out of his hot air? If they just ignored him, mainstream media wouldn't of given him the free publicity And few would even of known he was talking that trash. Yes or no? Completely wrong. I don't think you realize how many followers A...
