Federated owns a couple stations in Ft Wayne but cannot recall where else. They did own I believe, 940am, 93.1, 92.1, 104.9 and 107.1?? In Lima but that's owned by Woof Boom now. Yes, I'd like to see the rain cloud leave T-town. Wrong again. FedMed never owned anything in Lima. If they wanted in to...

I have no cable, (Tired of paying more and getting less) I can get all the analog channels on my antenna, except for FOX2, why is that? I get the "weak signal" or "no signal" message on my TV if I try to tune in.. Tried repositioning the antenna, multiple attempts on auto tune channels on my TV... ...

They should have stayed in their old facilities behind the Fisher Building, in the New Center area.

Is Rich Homberg still in charge?

My memory has faded. Did we have these problems with analog reception?

Nope.

All I've heard is that Lew Jr is having trouble with all of the increasing crime and unrest around his mansion in the once trendy Buckhead section of Atlanta. John is with some tech company somewhere. I don't remember the details. Hell, I remember when they had their Stratford Research company in th...

My hunch says Joe goes the brokered route again like he did at the Ann Arbor stations. I don't see anyone hiring him, not because of his content or talent, but because that's how the radio market is these days. Nobody's out there "selling" or cold calling, or doing spec spots the way we used to. Th...

They now advertise in the Grand Rapids market as well albeit without any radio personality endorsement.

Yep. Doesn't make much sense to get an endorsement from air personalities who are VT'd from out of state.

With a little more work, I think Alexis would have been very good. There's not a lot of young people who are interested in the biz anymore. Where was she supposed to go to learn? West Branch? Lansing? I'd bet everyone is gone by 4:30. Tracy McCaskill is very good in a supporting role, co-anchoring, ...

In addition to KT, Brooke Allen, and others, I noticed that young reporter Alexis Ware has been missing as well. Looks like she found a nice gig:

Has anyone noticed audio hasn't been back to defend his conspiracy theory?? He's probably busy changing the lock on his daughter's bedroom door... :rollin Wow. Boorish, and sophomoric. You must have hit your peak in high school with that rusty Z28 up there in Saginaw. There's a long line of morons ...

My hunch says Joe goes the brokered route again like he did at the Ann Arbor stations. I don't see anyone hiring him, not because of his content or talent, but because that's how the radio market is these days. Was that a brokered slot at WJR? My best guess is no. If it was, he'd probably still be ...

I appreciate the reminder about Jeff Kortes. He's forging a nice career in criminal defense in Grand Rapids, so his website reads. At one time, he had offices in 77 Monroe Center, at some spot below the Clear Channel GR radio cluster. Used to see him broadcasting HS games 30 years ago and he was ha...

Fox News would jump to hire him.

I don't know about that.

Is Donna Brazile still with Fox? Charlie may accidentally insult her the same way

A few notes: WLLZ was no longer a rock format at all by 1996. The kids didn't wanna hear all new rock on their dad's radio station. They had 89x. Planet 96.3, which was a top 40/alternative station, went MOM-dern AC by 1997. It was alternative you could listen to with your mom. Sonny Colvin, Matchb...
