Re: To anyone who liked the Blake Griffin trade...

Blake's been shooting great from the field lately! What was he - 2 of 14 the other night? And I think he was 2-17 or 2-18 the game before that? His knee is shot. He's toast. The guy's a gamer; I respect him for that. However, he needs to do the right thing for the team and for this city's fans and ...

Re: Windsor ratings are out; 89X is slipping again

There are few news/talk stations in Canada outside of major markets, period. There is no way CFCO would make anything as a news talk station targeting Chatham. The CRTC can be strict about stations serving areas outside of their market, so attempting to directly go after CKLW with Windsor programmi...

2020 predictions

Anyone have 2020 predictions for broadcasting in Michigan? I have a couple: At least one license is not renewed in the upcoming license renewal cycle The Masons retake operation of 107.5 WGPR at some point this year (or sell it outright) EMF makes at least one buy in the state in addition to 98.9 WK...

Re: The Wave 99.9

Surprisingly, The Wave seems to be the most common 99.9 in Manistee! The other fairly common 99.9s are WSAU-FM from central Wisconsin and Live 99-9 from Benton Harbor Interesting. I never could pick up The Wave in Manistee. The Wave comes in more than all of the other Sunrise Side stations combined...

Re: Seriously WTF?

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!

Re: Format change near Menominee - 96.3 WSFQ

Don't get me going on how terrible Ludington area radio sounds. :blink No wonder why 'TCM, Green Bay, and SiriusXM are so popular there! If the WMOM license is allowed to expire, WKLA *should* apply to move from 96.3 to 102.7 (I think a Class A on 102.7 would be fully spaced to WRVM [or any null wo...

Re: Format change near Menominee - 96.3 WSFQ

Somewhat of a surprising move. However, I did notice they remained All Christmas past 12/25 (branded as "Holiday Hits 96"); WSFQ is a fairly easy catch in Manistee over WKLA (which should be on 98.7 (with WLDN on 96.3), but that's a discussion for another day)

Re: WKLZ Sold to EMF

Also 95.9 Fuel FM. Which is owned by WLJN. From a market coverage standpoint, none of the Christian AC stations cover the entire market well. Smile FM has a hole along Lake Michigan north of, say, Onekama (they have a translator in Manistee). The Promise FM covers most of the market with the notabl...

Re: Only the Lions

Gotta love that clock management on the Lions' last possession. :lol That was one of the quickest 3-and-outs I've ever witnessed! Hey, I'm THRILLED the Lions lost; it helps their draft standing. The fact they lost via walk-off field goal (just like at Lambeaux) made it even better! The Lions end up...

Re: WFCX to Central Michigan for $500,000

I'll tell you one thing, when they were 15 kW nondirectional as a Class C3, I heard 94.3 most of the time in SE Michigan with my antenna and receiver. They were on an 82 foot tower! After they went to Class C2 with a Directional Antenna, I never heard it again. But that was also before all the 94.3...

I'm surprised he lived this long.

Didn't he suffer a collapsed lung about five years ago?
He also drank a lot and used drugs in the 70s and 80s.

I remember that the VERY short-lived talk format on 100.1 in Bear Lake aired his radio show (or was supposed to air it).
